“食品安全”英语怎么说

In a survey of more than 3,200 Chinese people, 38% said food safety was a "very big problem", up from 12% in 2008, according to Pew Research.

Experts say China's food safety has improved since 2008, when the country was galvanized by the deaths of six infants and illness in more 300,000 in a tainted-milk scandal.

But they say enforcement hasn't kept up with new regulations mandating inspections of meat processing plants and manufacturers, and episodes of food problems are commonly reported by local media.

据皮尤研究中心(Pew Research)进行的一项调查显示,接受该调查的3200多名中国人中,有38%的人认为食品安全是个“很大的问题”,而在2008年,该比例为12%。

专家们表示,2008年导致六名婴儿死亡和30多万名婴儿中毒的毒奶粉丑闻震惊了中国,自那以来中国的食品安全问题已有所改善。

但专家们也表示,虽然新规要求对肉类加工厂和生产商进行检查,但执行没有跟上,所以食品安全事件依旧经常见于当地媒体的报端。

  【讲解

文中的food safety就是“食品安全”的意思,近年来,我国食品安全事件频发,如乳制品中的三聚氰胺(melamine),地沟油(gutter oil或swill-cooked dirty oil),假鸡蛋(fake eggs),毒豆芽(poisonous bean sprouts),瘦肉精(lean meat powder),塑化剂(plasticizer)等。食品中的pesticide residues(农药残留),以及illegal food additives(非法食品添加剂)也是食品安全中的突出问题。

此外,文中的episode用作名词,意为“片段;插曲;经历”,如:That's an episode in my life I won't forget forever.(那是我一生中永远都不会忘记的经历。)
