TED演讲-口语练习：未来鸡肉生产的革新之路

在TED演讲节目中，演讲者清晰的口语表达及其内容的写作手法都是值得我们学习借鉴的。在本期的TED演讲中，演讲者将展开“未来鸡肉生产的革新之路”的讨论。请结合视频内容，开始口语练习吧！

原文及翻译

Let's start off with a chicken or an egg. What we do is we take a small sample of cells from the egg or the chicken and we identify the cells that are high quality and continue to grow outside the animal into chicken meat. Once we have the right cells, we save them for later. Or, when we want to make chicken, we pull them out in a small sample, just like the one that will fit in a vial like this. Inside this vial, you could expect to see millions of cells. 

让我们从一只鸡或一个鸡蛋开始。我们的做法是从鸡蛋或鸡中取出一小块细胞样本，然后识别出那些质量高且在动物体外继续生长成鸡肉的细胞。一旦我们找到了合适的细胞，我们就会将它们保存起来以备后用。或者，当我们想要制作鸡肉时，我们会将它们取出一个小样本，就像装在这种小瓶中的样本一样。在这个小瓶里，你可以看到数百万个细胞。

So, we take these cells and put them in a cultivator. A cultivator is nothing but a clean vessel that provides a safe, nurturing, and warm environment for the cells to grow into chicken meat. Once we grow this meat for about 2 weeks, we are ready to harvest it and shape it into the products that we love - whole cut products or cut products. And it's common to mix some of these products with plant-based fibers to add texture. 

因此，我们将这些细胞取出并放入培养器中。培养器只不过是一个干净的容器，为细胞生长成鸡肉提供安全、滋养和温暖的环境。一旦我们将这种肉培养大约 2 周，我们就可以收获它并将其塑造成我们喜欢的产品 - 整块切块产品或切块产品。通常会将其中一些产品与植物纤维混合以增加质感。

This can be done with beef, salmon, duck, or any species that you can imagine. And once we have the cells we want, we do not have to go back to the animal. In fact, the cells we've been using to grow chicken, we've taken them from an egg in 2018, and for six years, we haven't had to go back to the animal again.

这可以用牛肉、鲑鱼、鸭肉或您能想到的任何物种来实现。一旦我们得到了想要的细胞，我们就不必再回到动物身上。事实上，我们用来培育鸡的细胞是从2018年的鸡蛋中提取的，六年来，我们不必再回到动物身上。
