一、原文呈现:
The good, the bad and the really ugly
by Jane Brown
Today, in my fridge, there are a few grapes, some bananas and some fruit juice—things that are not expensive and that are good for me. There is also a pizza, and some burgers—which are not so good. I know what this food does to my body, but what does it do to the world around me? It’s time to look at my carbon footprint and think about the difference between the good, the bad and the really ugly.
参考译文:
今天,在我的冰箱里,有一些葡萄,一些香蕉和一些果汁——这些东西不贵,但对我有好处。还有一种披萨和一些不太好吃的汉堡。我知道这种食物对我的身体有什么影响,但是它对我周围的世界有什么影响呢?是时候看看我的碳足迹了,想想好的,坏的和真正丑陋的之间的区别。
Food miles
My first stop is the label. Labels give us lots of information: how long we can keep our food, how healthy it is and where it comes from. A few hundred years ago, most of our food came from places we could walk to, but today, food travels thousands of miles. We refrigerate it, and then transport it in planes and ships all over the world. This creates pollution and causes global warming. I look at the pizza and feel bad at once—not because it’s unhealthy, but because the seafood on it comes all the way from Thailand. I know seafood is also produced in the UK, but the local seafood is more expensive. I take out a banana—it’s from Brazil, but that’s not too bad. It came here by boat, so the carbon footprint of this healthy snack is small.
参考译文:
食物里程
我的第一站是标签。标签给了我们很多信息:我们的食物可以保存多久,它有多健康,从哪里来的。几百年前,我们大部分的食物来自我们可以步行去的地方,但是今天,食物要经过几千英里的旅行。我们把它冷藏起来,然后用飞机和轮船运到世界各地。这会造成污染并导致全球变暖。我一看披萨就觉得不舒服——不是因为它不健康,而是因为上面的海鲜是从泰国远道而来的。我知道英国也生产海鲜,但是当地的海鲜比较贵。我拿出一条香蕉——它来自巴西,但也不算太糟。它是乘船来的,所以这种健康零食的碳足迹很小。
Packaging
The next stop is the packaging. In the UK, we don’t recycle all our packaging; we throw away more than 30% of it. This waste goes to the rubbish dump and not to the recycling facility. Luckily, we don’t need to package food like bananas, but food like grapes needs protection. I look at the grapes in my fridge—they’re in a plastic container and they’re from Spain.
参考译文:
包装
下一站是包装。在英国,我们不回收所有的包装,我们扔掉了超过30%的包装。这些垃圾都被扔进了垃圾场,而不是进了回收设施。幸运的是,我们不需要包装像香蕉这样的食物,但像葡萄这样的食物需要保护。我看了看冰箱里的葡萄——它们装在塑料容器里,来自西班牙。
Production
So my grapes are from Spain, but at least they grew in natural sunlight. In the UK, people grow grapes in heated greenhouses, which means our grapes are less energy-efficient. But there is one other thing in my fridge, and if pizza and grapes are “bad”, then this food is “really ugly”. It’s the burgers. They have the biggest carbon footprint because they come from cows. In the USA, cows create the same amount of greenhouse gases as 20 million cars!
As I close the fridge door, I make a checklist for my next trip to the supermarket:
1)Read the label;
2)Look at the packaging;
3)Don’t buy a lot of meat.
Maybe I could grow my own vegetables too. It’s eco-friendly. I’d save some money and I wouldn’t feel bad about eating burgers!
参考译文:
生产
我的葡萄来自西班牙,但至少它们生长在自然阳光下。在英国,人们在加热的温室里种植葡萄,这意味着我们的葡萄不那么节能。但是我的冰箱里还有一件东西,如果披萨和葡萄“不好”,那么这种食物“真的很难看”。这是汉堡。它们的碳足迹最大,因为它们来自奶牛。在美国,奶牛产生的温室气体相当于2000万辆汽车产生的温室气体。
关上冰箱门,我为下次去超市做了一个清单:
1)阅读标签;
2)看看包装;
3)不要买很多肉。
也许我也可以自己种蔬菜。它是环保的。这样我就可以省点钱,吃汉堡也不会感觉不好!
二、课文研习:
重难句式及解析
1.“There is also a pizza, and some burgers—which are not so good. I know what this food does to my body, but what does it do to the world around me?”
解析:前句中破折号引导的 “which are not so good” 为非限制性定语从句,补充说明披萨和汉堡的弊端;后句通过 “but” 转折,将 “what this food does to my body”(宾语从句)与 “what does it do to the world”(特殊疑问句)对比,从个人健康转向环境影响,引出文章核心议题。
2.“A few hundred years ago, most of our food came from places we could walk to, but today, food travels thousands of miles.”
解析:句子通过 “but” 形成时间对比,前半句 “places we could walk to” 中省略关系代词 “that/which” 的定语从句,强调过去食物的本地化;后半句 “travels thousands of miles” 用夸张手法突出现代食物运输距离之长,为后文 “食物里程” 的环境影响做铺垫。
3.“This creates pollution and causes global warming. I look at the pizza and feel bad at once—not because it’s unhealthy, but because the seafood on it comes all the way from Thailand.”
解析:前两句为因果逻辑,“this” 指代前文运输行为;后句通过 “not...but...” 结构对比原因状语从句,否定 “不健康” 的表层因素,强调 “海鲜来自泰国” 的环境代价,“all the way from” 强化距离感,凸显碳足迹问题。
4.“In the UK, we don’t recycle all our packaging; we throw away more than 30% of it. This waste goes to the rubbish dump and not to the recycling facility.”
解析:分号连接两个并列分句,说明包装回收现状;“more than 30%” 用数据增强说服力,“not to...but to...” 隐含转折,强调垃圾处理方式的不合理,为后文 “包装污染” 的论述提供事实支撑。
5.“But there is one other thing in my fridge, and if pizza and grapes are ‘bad’, then this food is ‘really ugly’. It’s the burgers. They have the biggest carbon footprint because they come from cows.”
解析:前句通过 “if...then...” 条件句和比喻(“really ugly”)引出核心对象;后两句中 “because” 引导原因状语从句,将汉堡的高碳足迹归因于畜牧业,与前文 “披萨 / 葡萄” 形成程度对比,突出论证的递进关系。

I look at the pizza and feel bad at once—not because it’s unhealthy, but because the seafood on it comes all the way from Thailand. I know seafood is also produced in the UK, but the local seafood is more expensive. I take out a banana—it’s from Brazil, but that’s not too bad. It came here by boat, so the carbon footprint of this healthy snack is small.

食物里程
我的第一站是标签。标签给了我们很多信息:我们的食物可以保存多久,它有多健康,从哪里来的。几百年前,我们大部分的食物来自我们可以步行去的地方,但是今天,食物要经过几千英里的旅行。我们把它冷藏起来,然后用飞机和轮船运到世界各地。这会造成污染并导致全球变暖。我一看披萨就觉得不舒服——不是因为它不健康,而是因为上面的海鲜是从泰国远道而来的。我知道英国也生产海鲜,但是当地的海鲜比较贵。我拿出一条香蕉——它来自巴西,但也不算太糟。它是乘船来的,所以这种健康零食的碳足迹很小。
Packaging
The next stop is the packaging. In the UK, we don’t recycle all our packaging; we throw away more than 30% of it. This waste goes to the rubbish dump and not to the recycling facility. Luckily, we don’t need to package food like bananas, but food like grapes needs protection. I look at the grapes in my fridge—they’re in a plastic container and they’re from Spain.

包装
下一站是包装。在英国,我们不回收所有的包装,我们扔掉了超过30%的包装。这些垃圾都被扔进了垃圾场,而不是进了回收设施。幸运的是,我们不需要包装像香蕉这样的食物,但像葡萄这样的食物需要保护。我看了看冰箱里的葡萄——它们装在塑料容器里,来自西班牙。
Production
So my grapes are from Spain, but at least they grew in natural sunlight. In the UK, people grow grapes in heated greenhouses, which means our grapes are less energy-efficient. But there is one other thing in my fridge, and if pizza and grapes are “bad”, then this food is “really ugly”. It’s the burgers. They have the biggest carbon footprint because they come from cows. In the USA, cows create the same amount of greenhouse gases as 20 million cars!
As I close the fridge door, I make a checklist for my next trip to the supermarket:
1)Read the label;
2)Look at the packaging;
3)Don’t buy a lot of meat.
Maybe I could grow my own vegetables too. It’s eco-friendly. I’d save some money and I wouldn’t feel bad about eating burgers!
参考译文:
生产
我的葡萄来自西班牙,但至少它们生长在自然阳光下。在英国,人们在加热的温室里种植葡萄,这意味着我们的葡萄不那么节能。但是我的冰箱里还有一件东西,如果披萨和葡萄“不好”,那么这种食物“真的很难看”。这是汉堡。它们的碳足迹最大,因为它们来自奶牛。在美国,奶牛产生的温室气体相当于2000万辆汽车产生的温室气体。
关上冰箱门,我为下次去超市做了一个清单:
1)阅读标签;
2)看看包装;
3)不要买很多肉。
也许我也可以自己种蔬菜。它是环保的。这样我就可以省点钱,吃汉堡也不会感觉不好!
二、课文研习:
重难句式及解析
1.“There is also a pizza, and some burgers—which are not so good. I know what this food does to my body, but what does it do to the world around me?”
解析:前句中破折号引导的 “which are not so good” 为非限制性定语从句,补充说明披萨和汉堡的弊端;后句通过 “but” 转折,将 “what this food does to my body”(宾语从句)与 “what does it do to the world”(特殊疑问句)对比,从个人健康转向环境影响,引出文章核心议题。
2.“A few hundred years ago, most of our food came from places we could walk to, but today, food travels thousands of miles.”
解析:句子通过 “but” 形成时间对比,前半句 “places we could walk to” 中省略关系代词 “that/which” 的定语从句,强调过去食物的本地化;后半句 “travels thousands of miles” 用夸张手法突出现代食物运输距离之长,为后文 “食物里程” 的环境影响做铺垫。
3.“This creates pollution and causes global warming. I look at the pizza and feel bad at once—not because it’s unhealthy, but because the seafood on it comes all the way from Thailand.”
解析:前两句为因果逻辑,“this” 指代前文运输行为;后句通过 “not...but...” 结构对比原因状语从句,否定 “不健康” 的表层因素,强调 “海鲜来自泰国” 的环境代价,“all the way from” 强化距离感,凸显碳足迹问题。
4.“In the UK, we don’t recycle all our packaging; we throw away more than 30% of it. This waste goes to the rubbish dump and not to the recycling facility.”
解析:分号连接两个并列分句,说明包装回收现状;“more than 30%” 用数据增强说服力,“not to...but to...” 隐含转折,强调垃圾处理方式的不合理,为后文 “包装污染” 的论述提供事实支撑。
5.“But there is one other thing in my fridge, and if pizza and grapes are ‘bad’, then this food is ‘really ugly’. It’s the burgers. They have the biggest carbon footprint because they come from cows.”
解析:前句通过 “if...then...” 条件句和比喻(“really ugly”)引出核心对象;后两句中 “because” 引导原因状语从句,将汉堡的高碳足迹归因于畜牧业,与前文 “披萨 / 葡萄” 形成程度对比,突出论证的递进关系。
