段落二
In
a
small
laboratory
at
the
Medical
University
of
South
Carolina,
Dr.
Vladimir
Mironov
has
been
working
for
a
decade
to
grow
meat.
在美国南卡罗莱纳医科大学的一个小实验室里,弗拉基米尔·米罗诺夫十年来一直潜心钻研“种肉”。
A
developmental
biologist
and
tissue
engineer,
Dr.
Mironov,
is
one
of
only
a
few
scientists
worldwide
involved
in
bioengineering
'cultured'
meat.
米罗诺夫博士是一位生物学家和组织工程师,也是全世界为数不多的通过生物工程“培育”肉的科学家之一。
It's
a
product
he
believes
could
help
solve
future
global
food
crises
resulting
from
shrinking
amounts
of
land
available
for
growing
meat
the
old-
fashioned
way.
他相信,由于可以用来饲养蹄类动物的土地日益匮乏,以旧方式养殖获得的肉会越来越少,他“种”的肉可以用来帮助解决未来全球的粮食危机。
“
Growth
of
cultured
meat
is
also
under
way
in
the
Netherlands”,
Mironov
told
Reuters
in
an
interview, “
but
in
the
United
States,
it
is
science
in
search
of
funding
and
demand.”
米罗诺夫在接受路透采访时表示:“培育人造肉也在荷兰进行,但在美国需要寻找资金和需求。”
The
new
National
Institute
of
Food
and
Agriculture
won't
fund
it,
the
National
Institutes
of
Health
won't
fund
it,
and
the
NASA
funded
it
only
briefly,
Mironov
said.
米罗诺夫说,国家粮食和农业研究所、美国国立卫生研究院不提供资助,而美国宇航局只资助一点。
"
It's
classic
disruptive
technology,"
Mironov
said. "
Bringing
any
new
technology
on
the
market,
on
average,
costs $1
billion.
We
don't
even
have $1
million."
米罗诺夫说:“这是典型的颠覆性技术。引领新技术走向市场平均需要花费10亿美金,但是我们连100万美金都没有。”

"
There's
an
unpleasant
factor
when
people
find
out
meat
is
grown
in
a
lab.
They
don't
like
to
associate
technology
with
food, "
said
Nicholas
Genovese,
a
visiting
scholar
in
cancer
cell
biology.
尼古拉斯·吉诺维斯,癌症细胞生物学的访问学者说:“人们不喜欢看到肉生长在实验室里。他们不喜欢食物和科技相连。”
"
But
there
are
a
lot
of
products
that
we
eat
today
that
are
considered
natural
that
are
produced
in
a
similar
manner, "
Genovese
said.
吉诺维斯说:“但是我们当今吃的很多被认为天然的食物都是以这种方式产生的。”
