“皮蛋”英语怎么说

2016-11-19

摘要:媒体报道江西省南昌县3家禽蛋加工厂涉嫌使用工业硫酸铜腌制皮蛋后,再次引发网友对食品安全的广泛讨论。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

Factories in Nanchang county in Jiangxi were the main source of "the toxic preserved eggsincident" and 30 companies have been closed by authorities since the discovery. Other factories are still undergoing investigation.

Preserved eggs generally take about two months to create, using baking soda, salt, and quicklime.

The plants were guilty of adding industrial copper sulphate to the eggs to speed up the production schedule, halving the time to a month.

此次曝光的“有毒皮蛋”主要来源于江西南昌的一些生产企业,30余家皮蛋加工厂已被勒令停产,其余工厂也正在接受调查。

通常,皮蛋的腌制时间约两个月,会加入小苏打、盐、石灰等原料。

但是江西南昌的这些皮蛋工厂违法使用工业硫酸铜腌制皮蛋,使得皮蛋的制作周期缩短至一个月左右。

【讲解】

文中"###preserved egg"即是皮蛋的意思,也可以表达为"preserved duck egg", 或者"thousand-year egg"。

其中preserved可译为“腌制的”,如preserved food (腌制食品),类似的表达还有smoked (烟熏的),salted (盐腌的),canned (罐装的)等。

文中的“copper sulphate”译为硫酸铜,这些企业采用的是工业级别的原料,根本无法用于食品生产。
