TED我们的物系统怎么了题：Whats wrong with our food system演讲者：Birke BaehrHello.My name is Birke Baehr,and Im 11 years old.I came here today to talk about whats wrong with our food system.First of all,I would like to say that Im really amazed at how easily kids are led to believe all the marketing and advertising on TV,at public schools and pretty much everywhere else you look.It seems to me like corporations are always trying to get kids,like me,to get their parents to buy stuff that really isnt good for us or the planet.Little kids,especially,are attracted by colorful packaging and plastic toys.I must admit,I used to be one of them.I also used to think that all of our food came from these happy,little farms where pigs rolled in mud and cows grazed on grass all day.家好。我叫Birke Baehr伯克巴尔，11岁。我要讲的是我们物体系的问题。先，我想说 我常惊奇孩们是多么容易就轻信 所有 在电视上，在公学校 甚随处可见的营销宣传和告。我觉得公司总是 试着让像我样的孩 要母去买那些 对我们和对地球环境都不好的东西。孩尤其 喜欢彩包装 和塑料玩具。我必须承认，我曾是他们中的员。我也曾以为我们所有的物 来于开农场，那整天有在泥浆打滚的猪和遍地吃草的。What I discovered was this is not true.I began to look into this stuff on the Internet,in books and in documentary films,in my travels with my family.I discovered the dark side of the industrialized food system.First,theres genetically engineered seeds and organisms.但我发现这不是真的。我开始在 互联，书本，纪录，和与我家的旅中查找素材。我发现了业化品体系的阴暗。先谈谈转基因种和转基因物。corporationn.公司planetn.星；地球rollv.滚动documentaryn.纪录geneticallyadv.基因地That is when a seed is manipulated in a laboratory to do something not intended by nature-like taking the DNA of a fish and putting it into the DNA of a tomato.Yuck.Dont get me wrong,I like fish and tomatoes,but this is just creepy.The seeds are then planted,then grown.The food they produce have been proven to cause cancer and other problems in lab animals,and people have been eating food produced this way since the 1990s.And most folks dont even know they exist.Did you know rats that ate genetically engineered corn had developed signs of liver and kidney toxicity?These include kidney inflammation and lesions and increased kidney weight.Yet almost all the corn we eat has been altered genetically in some way.And let me tell you,corn is in everything.And dont even get me started on the Confined Animal Feeding Operations called CAFOS.这是指在实验室改造种，进培植，不是然的式种植-就好提取鱼类的DNA，把它植到西红柿的DNA中-恶。不要误解我，我喜欢鱼和西红柿，但这个只能令悚然。然后这些种被种植，长。转基因的物被证明 若是于实验动物会引发癌症和其它问题。从1990年代起，们直在吃 这些转基因的物。多数甚不知道它们的存在。你知道吗？吃了转基因物 会有肝和肾毒性作的发。这包括肾炎、损伤和重量增加。然我们吃过的乎所有物 都是某种程度的转基因作物。我要告诉你的是，任何物都有物的痕迹。更不说集中动物饲养操作了 简称CAFOS（美国集中畜牧经营）。Conventional farmers use chemical fertilizers made from fossil fuels that they mix with the dirt to make plants grow.They do this because theyve stripped the soil from all nutrients from growing the same crop over and over again.传统农民使化燃料制成的化肥，这些肥料 和泥混合，促进植物长。农民施肥是因为他们年复年种植同样的作物，已经穷竭了壤的所有养分。manipulatev.操纵；摆布laboratoryn.实验室kidneyn.肾toxicityn.毒性inflammationn.炎症lesionn.损害fertilizern.肥料nutrientadj.营养的Next,more harmful chemicals are sprayed on fruits and vegetables,like pesticides and herbicides,to kill weeds and bugs.When it rains,these chemicals seep into the ground,or run off into our waterways,poisoning our water too.Then they irradiate our food,trying to make it last longer,so it can travel thousands of miles from where its grown to the supermarkets.接下来，他们喷洒更多化学物到果蔬菜上，如杀剂和除草剂，来杀死杂草和。当下的时候，这些化学物渗地，或流到我们路，也污染我们的域。接着他们辐射处理我们的物，使其更保鲜，为了物可运输千 从产地运到超市货架。So I ask myself,how can I change?How can I change these things?This is what I found out.I discovered that theres a movement for a better way.Now a while back,I wanted to be an NFL football player.I decided that Id rather be an organic farmer instead.Thank you.And that way I can have a greater impact on the world.This man,Joel Salatin,they call him a lunatic farmer because he grows against the system.Since Im home-schooled,I went to go hear him speak one day.This man,this lunatic farmer,doesnt use any pesticides,herbicides,or genetically modified seeds.And so for that,hes called crazy by the system.所以我问，我能如何改变这些情况？这是我发现的办法：我了解到了个朝好的向改变的法。前阵，我想成为个美式橄榄球运动员。但我决定我更愿意成为个有机农业家。谢谢。那样的话我可以更多地改变世界。这个，乔伊萨拉廷，被称为疯狂的农民，因为他的种植法违反整个农业体系。因为我是在家受教育，有天我去听他讲话。这个，这个疯狂的农民 不使任何杀剂，除草剂，或者转基因种。因此从体系的度看，他很疯狂。I want you to know that we can all make a difference by making different choices,by buying our food directly from local farmers,or our neighbors who we know in real life.我想让家知道我们家都可以有所作为 通过不同的选择，向当地农民 或者从我们熟知的邻居那直接购买物。pesticiden.农药irradiatev.照射lunaticadj.疯狂的；混乱的modifiedadj.改进的Some people say organic or local food is more expensive,but is it really?With all these things Ive been learning about the food system,it seems to me that we can either pay the farmer,or we can pay the hospital.Now I know definitely which one I would choose.I want you to know that there are farms out there-like Bill Keener in Sequatchie Cove Farm in Tennessee-whose cows do eat grass and whose pigs do roll in the mud,just like I thought.Sometimes I go to Bills farm and volunteer,so I can see up close and personal where the meat I eat comes from.I want you to know that I believe kids will eat fresh vegetables and good food if they know more about it and where it really comes from.I want you to know that there are farmers markets in every community popping up.I want you to know that me,my brother and sister actually like eating baked kale chips.I try to share this everywhere I go.有会说有机或者当地物较贵，但事实是否如此呢？根据我所学到的关于物体系的这些知识，我知道要么我们付钱给农民，要么付给医院。现在我已经知道怎么选择了。我想让家知道还是有那样的农场-如纳西州，尔科恩尔的塞曲驰湾农场-那吃草，猪泥地打滚，就如同我所想象的那样。有时我会去尔的农场做义，所以我可以近距离亲看到 我吃的来于哪。我想让家知道我认为 孩们如果对物了解更多，知道它们来于哪，他们就会愿意吃新鲜蔬菜和健康物。我希望家知道在每个社区 都在涌现农夫市场。我想让家知道我，我哥哥和我姐姐 真的喜欢吃烤蓝。论我到哪，都会向家分享我的想法。Not too long ago,my uncle said that he offered my six-year-old cousin cereal.He asked him if he wanted organic Toasted Os or the sugarcoated flakes-you know,the one with the big striped cartoon character on the front.不久以前，我叔叔说他给我六岁堂弟吃麦时，他问他是想要Toasted 的有机麦 还是糖-家晓得的，在包装正有个幅带条纹卡通物的那种。definitelyadv.明确地sugarcoatv.粉饰，裹以糖My little cousin told his dad that he would rather have the organic Toasted Os cereal because Birke said he shouldnt eat sparkly cereal.And that,my friends,is how we can make a difference one kid at a time.我堂弟告诉他爸爸 他较想要Toasted的有机燕麦，因为伯克说过，他不应该吃那些闪闪发光的燕麦。我的朋友们，这就是我们可以逐个劝说孩们 让他们作出的改变。So next time youre at the grocery store,think local,choose organic,know your farmer and know your food.所以下次你在商店购物时，请为本地农业着想，选择有机物，认识你的农夫，更好地了解你的物sparklyadj.耀眼的organicadj.有机的
