“蜂蜜”英语怎么说
名词解释:蜂蜜是蜜蜂从开花植物的花中采得的花蜜在蜂巢中酿制的蜜。蜜蜂从植物的花中采取含水量约为80%的花蜜或分泌物,存入自己第二个胃中,在体内多种转化酶的作用下,经过15天左右反复酝酿各种维生素、矿物质和氨基酸丰富到一定的数值时,同时把花蜜中的多糖转变成人体可直接吸收的单糖葡萄糖、果糖,水分含量少于10%存贮到巢洞中,用蜂蜡密封。蜂蜜是糖的过饱和溶液,低温时会产生结晶,生成结晶的是葡萄糖,不产生结晶的部分主要是果糖。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

"There's an idea that sugar is a villain and honey is the hero," says nutritional therapist Ian Marber. "It's not accurate. Loading honey onto a bowl of porridge or breakfast cereal isn't much better for our bodies than layering that cereal up with granulated sugar."
Honey is high in calories —— more than table sugar. A teaspoon of honey contains about 22 calories, a teaspoon of sugar around 16 calories.
Some big-brand honey in supermarkets has been processed —— heated and filtered —— to get rid of pollen and bacteria. But it also removes these vitamins and minerals.
“有人认为糖分就像是坏蛋,而蜂蜜像是大英雄。”营养治疗师伊恩·马伯说:“这种观点是不正确的。早上喝粥或麦片时加入蜂蜜和加白砂糖是一样不健康的。”
蜂蜜的卡路里含量高于蔗糖。同样一小茶匙的量,蜂蜜含有22卡路里,而蔗糖含有16卡路里。
那些超市里售卖的大品牌蜂蜜是经过加工的,它们被加热或被过滤,这样花粉和细菌被除掉了,但同时除掉的还有蜂蜜里的维他命和矿物质。
【讲解】
文中的honey就是“蜂蜜”的意思,为蜜蜂(bee)采集花蜜(nectar),经自然发酵而成的液体,具有良好保健(healthcare)作用,相关词汇还有:royal jelly(蜂王浆),propolis(蜂胶),beeswax(蜂蜡)等。
最后一段中的filter作动词,意为“滤出,过滤”,多用于液体或光线等,如:Charcoal is used to filter water. (用木炭过滤水。);引申可指消息“走漏”,如:The news of the defeat started to filter through.(战败的消息开始传出来。)
