Many questions have been raised about GM food. No one really knows whether it is safe for animals or humans to eat.
關于轉基因食品,人們提出很多質疑的問題。沒有知道它是否適合動物和人類安全食用。
Scientists admit that more tests should be done on GM food.
科學家承認,關于轉基因食品,還需要做很多實驗。
Research has been limited to increasing production profits, rather than making sure that GM foods are safe.
目前的研究只局限于增加生產利潤,而不是確保轉基因食品的安全。
GM food could therefore be dangerous to eat. There is also a question as to whether GM plants are safe for the environment.
因此,轉基因食品食用有危險。同樣的問題,轉基因植物對環境是否安全。
Since GM crops are planted outside, they are part of the food chain--insects and other animals eat them or use their products, and these insects and animals will be eaten by yet other animals.
由于轉基因植物是種在戶外的,它們也是食物鏈的一部分--昆蟲和其他動物會吃它們或者利用它們的產物,這些昆蟲和動物還會被其他動物吃掉。
No one knows what effects the GM material might have on the food chain.
沒有知道轉基因物質會對食物鏈產生什么影響。
Since no one really knows whether GM food is safe, many countries have hesitated to give permission for the production of GM foods, as they would rather be cautious with this new technology.
既然沒有人確切知道轉基因食品是否安全,對于生產轉基因食品,很多國家都猶豫不決,因為對于這項新技術,他們寧愿小心謹慎。
