中英對照:學(xué)習(xí)與農(nóng)業(yè)相關(guān)的術(shù)語 Today we have a vocabulary quiz. We start with two questions about terms for plants.
今天我們要進(jìn)行一項(xiàng)詞匯測試。首先,我們要提出兩個(gè)關(guān)于植物術(shù)語的問題。 OK, first question: What is the name for a plant that lives only one year or one growing season? This kind of plant is called an annual. Think of an "annual report," a report published just once a year. 第一個(gè)問題:只能存活一年或一個(gè)生長季節(jié)的植物,怎么稱呼?這種植物被稱為“annual”。與之用意相同的表達(dá)是“annual report”,也就是每年發(fā)布一次的報(bào)告。 You can probably guess the next question. What do we call a plant that produces new growth year after year? Plants that keep growing back are called perennials. So a perennial is the opposite of an annual. Perennials come back year after year. 你可能會(huì)猜到下一個(gè)問題:年復(fù)一年循環(huán)生長的植物,我們稱為什么?這種多年生植物被稱為“perennials”。因此perennial剛好和annual相反,這類植物會(huì)年復(fù)一年地生長。 Now some questions about terms for livestock. 下面是一些關(guān)于牲畜術(shù)語的問題。 What is another name for a male cow? A bull, right? Well, not always. A male cow is usually called a bull only if it still has its reproductive organs. If not, we call it a -- what? The answer: a steer. “male cow”的另外一個(gè)名稱是什么?是“Bull”,對吧。但是這可不一定哦!“male cow”通常指那些有生殖器官的公牛,如果被閹過了我們稱其為什么呢?就稱為“steer”。 Next question: What is another name for a young cow? A very young cow is called a calf. But a young female cow, especially one that has not had a calf yet, has a special name. Do you know what it is? The answer: a heifer. Maybe you knew that. But here is question just for our radio listeners -- can you spell it? Heifer is spelled H-E-I-F-E-R. 下一個(gè)問題:“young cow”又稱作什么?非常幼小的牛被稱為“calf”。但是一頭年輕的母牛,尤其是還沒生育過的年輕母牛有一個(gè)專用名。你知道是什么嗎?它就是“heifer”。可能你聽說過這個(gè)名稱,但是我們專門為聽眾準(zhǔn)備了一個(gè)問題:你能拼寫出“Heifer”這個(gè)詞嗎?拼寫是H-E-I-F-E-R。 Cows, like all mammals, lactate. Our next question is: do you know what that means? To lactate means to produce milk. Cows lactate for up to ten months. 與其它所有的哺乳動(dòng)物一樣,奶牛會(huì)“l(fā)actate”。而我們的下一個(gè)問題就是:你知道“l(fā)actate”的意思嗎?它意思就是分泌乳汁。奶牛分泌乳汁的時(shí)間長達(dá)10個(gè)月。 In milk, fat rises to the top. But some people do not like to drink milk that way. So there is a process that reduces the size of the fat particles and mixes them all through the milk. This process has a name -- a long name. What is it? It's called homogenization. 牛奶中的脂肪會(huì)浮到最上面。但有些人不喜歡喝這種牛奶。所以需要一個(gè)可以減小脂肪顆粒大小,并將其與牛奶充分混合的過程。這個(gè)過程有個(gè)很長的名字。是什么呢?這個(gè)過程就被稱為“homogenization”。 Still with us? OK, another question. Milk can be made into cheese. Some people like cheese made with milk from a sheep. What do you call a female sheep? The answer: a ewe, spelled E-W-E. 您還在收聽我們節(jié)目嗎?好的,讓我們進(jìn)入下一個(gè)問題。牛奶可以制成奶酪,有些人喜歡用羊奶制成奶酪。請問:母羊怎么稱呼呢?答案就是“ewe”。 Male sheep have their own name. A male sheep is a -- what? A ram. 公羊也有自己的專有名稱,叫做什么呢?叫做“ram”。 Rams and ewes produce lambs. A lamb is a sheep less than a year old. But what do you call the meat from a sheep over a year old? Then we call it mutton. 公羊和母羊可以繁殖出“l(fā)amb”?!發(fā)amb”是指一歲以下的小羊羔。從一歲以上的羊身上所割下的肉叫做什么?我們叫做“mutton”。 Age also plays a part in terms for horses. For example, a mare is generally a female three years or older. But what do you call a female horse under three? The answer: a filly. And for extra credit: do you know the name for a male horse under four? A colt. 年齡的區(qū)別在馬類術(shù)語中也起著作用。例如,“mare”一般是指大于等于三歲的母馬。那三歲以下的母馬怎么稱呼呢?答案就是“filly”。額外的練習(xí)題:你知道四歲以下的公馬叫什么名稱嗎? 答案就是“colt”。 |
