Thus, besides Guinness, it is said that the ingredients of Bailey's Irish Cream, another drink owned by Diageo, travel across the border three times before being exported in bottles.
因此除了愛(ài)爾蘭啤酒吉尼斯，據(jù)說(shuō)里面有百利甜酒的成分也是由帝亞吉?dú)W公司產(chǎn)出的，這種飲品在瓶裝出口之前需要在通過(guò)邊境三次。

Sheep and cows are frequently driven across the border for slaughtering.
羊和牛也經(jīng)常被運(yùn)送到兩邊的邊境去屠宰。
Economies of scale mean that it does not make any sense to have two processing plants on the island for most foods; that could be threatened by a hard border.
而規(guī)模經(jīng)濟(jì)意味著有兩個(gè)加工廠對(duì)食物進(jìn)行加工是沒(méi)有任何意義的，這可能會(huì)受到強(qiáng)硬邊境政策威脅。
To complicate matters, food and drink have always been among the most sensitive products in the EU.
更糟的是，食物和飲品在歐盟地區(qū)的進(jìn)出口是最易受影響的。

米歇爾·巴尼耶是歐盟委員會(huì)關(guān)于英國(guó)脫歐的談判專家，他說(shuō)過(guò)英國(guó)脫歐后所有的進(jìn)口的牲畜和與其相關(guān)的產(chǎn)品將進(jìn)行邊境控制。
If a putative free-trade deal with America were ever to come about, Britain might well allow the import of chlorine-washed chicken and genetically modified foods.
假定英國(guó)和美國(guó)之間的自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定會(huì)生效，那么將使英國(guó)可能會(huì)允許進(jìn)口氯洗雞和轉(zhuǎn)基因食物。
Given the public's hostility to these things, nobody in Brussels could possibly risk letting them cross into the EU by the back door of the Irish border.
鑒于公眾對(duì)于這些事情的敵對(duì)情緒，歐盟不可能冒著風(fēng)險(xiǎn)讓這些食物走愛(ài)爾蘭邊境的“后門”從而進(jìn)入歐盟地區(qū)。
