舌尖上的安全：食品安全出路何在
Food safety dilemma
Step1 译知半解——边看边听
近日热播的纪录片《舌尖上的中国》令中国人胃口大开。中华美食中新鲜的食材，精美的菜式，复杂精细的烹制过程以及饮食传统的多样性都令他们为之着迷。然而，一系列食品安全事件却令中华美食名声受损。专家表示，长期以来食品安全监管机制存在的缺陷正在摧毁公众对食品的信心。农业部的统计数据显示，中国每天消耗200多万吨的食品，这些食品来自于40多万家食品生产商，以及323万家相关企业。为了解决复杂的食品安全问题，2010年我国设立了国务院食品安全委会，由国务院副总理李克强出任主席。然而，现实情况是，在目前的食品安全监管体系下，涉及到六大部委的十几个部门均参与其中，直接负责监管从田间到餐桌的每一个环节。参与监管的机构越多，就越难有效地解决问题。在食品安全这个问题上，目前还没有明确的责任划分,
这使得有效监管很成问题。官员推卸责任的现象时有发生。同时问题也没有解决。
来自中国农业大学的朱毅副教授指出，设立单独的政府监管机构可以解决问题。他表示：“在英国和加拿大等国家，在食品安全监管方面实行独立管理已成为一种趋势，这样相关问题便可以得到快速解决。”
来自天津师范大学政治学与公共管理学院的李珊也主张有必要设立单独机构对整个食品生产链进行全面管理。李珊说：“或许，将各个政府部门合并成一个新的‘食品安全部’可以加大食品监管的力度。”
Step2 听译原文——边听边译
A recent documentary A Bite of China whetted the Chinese
appetite.They are fascinated by fresh ingredients, delicate
presentation, intricate cooking and diverse traditions of Chinese
food.However, a series of food safety incidents
has damaged the country’s reputation for fine cuisine. Experts
say that an insufficiency of institutional food safety supervision
is harming the public’s faith in food.
Figures from the Ministry of Agriculture show China consumes over
2 million tons of food every day from over 400,000 food
manufacturers, and 3.23 million related businesses. To tackle
complicated problems concerning food safety, the State Council Food
Safety Commission chaired by Vice-Premier LiKeqiang was set up in
2010. However, under the current framework of food safety
supervision, more than a dozen departments are involved with six
bureaus and ministries directly responsible for stages from farm to
table. The more agencies involved, the less likely the problem will
be solved efficiently. There is no clear cut division of
responsibility for food safety, which makes effective supervision a
problem. It is very common for officials to pass the buck.
Meanwhile, the problems don’t go away.
Zhu Yi, associate professor at CAU, suggests a single government
agency should tackle the problem: “It is a trend in food safety
supervision to have a sole administration, such as in the UK and
Canada, so that problems can be fixed swiftly.” Li Shan, of the
Politics and Public Administration College of Tianjin Normal
University, also advocates the need to have a single department
covering the whole food production chain. “Maybe a new ‘ministry of
food safety’ that brings various agencies into one administration
can help boost the capacity for supervision”, said Li.

Step3 题解原文——边听边做
According to the passage, can the State Council Food Safety
Commission tackle complicated problems concerning food safety
effectively?
A. Yes, it can. B. No, it
can’t. C. The passage doesn’t tell
us.
解 析 B
1 该题目是对文章第二段内容理解的考查，属于细节题。看到题目首先应从原文中找相关匹配信息。原文中与此对应的信息是 “To
tackle complicated problems concerning food safety, the State
Council Food Safety Commission chaired by Vice-Premier Li Keqiang
was set up in 2010.”
（为了解决复杂的食品安全问题，2010年我国设立了国务院食品安全委员会，由国务院副总理李克强出任主席）。
2 在匹配信息的临近点，寻找突破口。原文“However, under the current framework of food
safety supervision, more than a dozen departments are involved with
six bureaus and ministries directly responsible for stages from
farm to
table.”（然而，现实情况是，在目前的食品安全监管体系下，涉及到六大部委的十几个部门均参与其中，直接负责监管从田间到餐桌的每一个环节）中“However”一词作为转折词，点破了该机构并不能有效处理问题。在听材料时一定要留意诸如however,
but等这类词。
3 后文中，“It is very common for officials to pass the buck.
Meanwhile, the
problems don’t go
away.”（官员推卸责任的现象时有发生。同时问题也没有解决）进一步阐明了问题没有得到解决。
