汉堡王用过期面包做汉堡:American fast-food chain Burger King

对于下面的英语,如果你“阅读”时“不准”翻译成中文,你会“翻译”成什么英语?

这才是“英语阅读”需要训练的地方和能力。

一、 英语原文
American fast-food chain Burger King has been exposed for using expired food materials to make hamburgers in China, the country's annual consumer rights show said on Thursday. 
Several Burger King's stores in Nanchang, east China's Jiangxi Province replaced the expiration label on stale bread and later served the old bread to customers, the show reported. 
After the show aired, Burger King China apologized in Chinese on popular Chinese social media platform Weibo and said a working group has been set up to investigate the stores involved, which have been suspended. 


二、 英语阅读:

1) American fast-food chain Burger King

1. I got you.Hamburger,potato chips,fried chicken.These are fast food.

你“阅读”时是“说”这些英语,还是“说”中文:快餐食品?

2.I got you.A chain store has many branches or franchises in a country or all over the world.

你去“记”中文“连锁店”就不是“读”英语了:是把读英语当做记单词。这是另外一码事。

3.Burger King is an American fast-food chain.

你又去“记”中文“汉堡王”了,还是偏离了“英语阅读”的意义。

2) Burger King has been exposed for using expired food materials

如果不让你把be exposed for doing something“说”成中文,而是“逼”你“说”英语(替换成什么英语?),你就会“困难重重”,这同时就暴露了你英语使用能力的不足。
不说Be exposed for doing,你“说”什么英语?

想想。试试。

If someone is exposed for doing something bad,they are revealed for doing something not good,they are made public for doing it.

So,if you're exposed for cheating on tests,everyone knows it because it us made known,or made public.

这才是英语阅读预期的能力目标。

3) the country's annual consumer rights show

China's annual consumer rights show is on March 15 each year.So it is also known March 15 Day in China.

你的“英语阅读”能“说”中文“消费者权益日”,但是,我们要的是能说和记上面的英语才算数。

4) using expired food materials 
既“不懂”expired的中文,又不懂它的英语?

看到下面的stale bread没有?

Okay.Expired food materials are stale food and stale food is expired food materials.

英语阅读能做到这一步就够了,没必要用中文“分辩”得更细:那不是英语阅读了,那是同义词辨析。

5) replaced the expiration label 

If you replace an old label,you change it with a new one.

用这样的英语去“理解”replace能做到吗?非得“说”中文“替换”吗

6) popular Chinese social media platform Weibo

Okay.I got you.Weibo is a popular Chinese social media platform in China.

你是这样的“英语阅读”吗?
