Lesson

English:
UN urges people to eat insects to fight world hunger.

1. urge: to push or persuade.
2. insect: any animal of the class Insecta.
(Please do not make a misspelling of "insect." If you spell the word "insect" wrongly into the word "incest," the whole meaning of the sentence will be changed. "Incest" means "sexual intercourse between closely related persons.")

Actually, many scientists raise the insects in the lab and eat them for practicing the fight of world hunger. 

"The report suggests that the food industry could help in "raising the status of insects" by including them in new recipes and adding them to restaurant menus." (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-22508439)

What do you think of "insect dishes?"


Photo: 今天要來講吃一篇新聞~~
其實現在有很多科學家都在家裡養蟲吃蟲子, 因為他們知道有一天一定會沒食物, 所以他們早就在練習吃蟲了@@

老師是有吃過蜂蛹,不過蜂蛹是炸過的, 我就覺得還好, 但是要我生吃的話, 我可能要先喝好幾罐伏特加O.O

根據BBC的報導, 食品領域的公司可能會幫忙養蟲子, 然後供應給餐廳做成昆蟲套餐~(我的os: 大家可以提早試吃唷~~噗!)

好啦~來看一下今天的標題:
UN urges people to eat insects to fight world hunger.
(UN報導力勸人們吃昆蟲來對抗世界飢荒)

1. urge: 力勸 or 鼓勵
(urge這個字在多益考試裡面一定會出現, 新聞英文裡也很常看到唷! 所以要特別記一下 :3)

2. insect: 昆蟲
(insect 的拼字要注意, 不要拚成incest, incest是亂倫, 如果你不小心拼錯昆蟲了, =='' 那就囧掉啦!!!)

Thanks for the link, the article is interesting.  Now I  know  that eating insects is good for health, as they are full of proteins and minerals. Nevertheless, I dont want to try these dishes, even if they look delicious.
