美国人爱食salmon(鲑鱼)和trout(鳟鱼),而转基因的鲑鱼和鳟鱼的价格仅仅是非转基因的鲑鱼和鳟鱼的一半,因为转基因的鲑鱼和鳟鱼的生长速度是非转基因鱼的10倍。食用这种鱼,是否对人体有益也还是悬而未决。本文出现了一个形容词:“Frankenstein Foods”。弗兰肯斯泰(Frankenstein)是英国女作家Mary W. Shelley于1818年所著同名小说中的主角。弗兰肯斯泰是一个创造了怪物而最终自己被它毁灭的医学研究者。于是,Mary W. Shelley的这部小说就为英语增添了一个新词。Frankenstein成了“危及或毁灭创造者的事物”的代名词。转基因的鲑鱼问题不仅仅局限于对人体是否有害,更加严重的是,美国的一家公司(AF Protein)已经把这种growth hormone genes注射到大西洋的鲑鱼体内: AF Protein is reported to have inserted growth hormone genes from one fish and genes from another fish, which can activate them, into Atlantic salmon.如果这种转基因鲑鱼和鳟鱼和大西洋中的同类进行交配,那么,自然界将失去天然的物种。此事又引起了另一场轩然大波。】
Americans love to eat salmon (salmon) and trout (carp), while the prices of genetically modified salmon and trout are only half that of non-transgenic trout and trout, as the growth rate of transgenic trout and trout is 10% of non-transgenic fish. Times. It is still undecided whether this kind of fish is beneficial to the human body. This article has an adjective: “Frankenstein Foods”. Frankenstein is the protagonist of the English novelist Mary W. Shelley’s 1818 novel of the same name. Frankenstein was a medical researcher who created a monster and eventually destroyed it. So, this novel by Mary W. Shelley adds a new word to English. Frankenstein became synonymous with “things that threaten or destroy the creator.” The issue of genetically modified salmon is not only limited to the human body, but more seriously, a company in the United States (AF Protein) has injected this growth hormone genes into Atlantic salmon: AF Protein is reported to have inserted growth hormone genes From one fish and genes from another fish, which can activate them, into Atlantic salmon. If the transgenic salmon and trout are mated with the same species in the Atlantic, then the natural world will lose the natural species. This incident caused another uproar. 】
