🎁 中英文稿：
Everybody eats. And consumers increasingly try to consider the environmental effects of their food choices. For example, if you want to eat meat, how do your choices compare? That's what a group of researchers set out to discover.
每個人都要吃飯。而越來越多的消費者在選擇食物時，試著去考慮其中的環境影響。例如，如果你想要吃肉，你怎樣去比較去選擇呢?這就是一組研究人員打算著手研究的問題。
And they found that raising one animal is dramatically more environmentally draining than all the others: cows. The research is in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. [Gidon Eshel et al.,Land, irrigation water, greenhouse gas, and reactive nitrogen burdens of meat, eggs, and dairy production in the United States]
而且他們發現飼養牛這種牲畜，要比飼養其他動物，產生更多的環保排水問題。這項研究被發表在《美國國家科學院院刊》上。
The scientists noted the challenge in accessing data and creating metrics that can be compared across livestock and to potato, wheat and rice production.
科學家指出了在訪問數據和創建指標上面臨的挑戰，該指標可以用於將飼養牲畜與種植土豆、小麥、和大米進行比較分析。
They settled on national data from the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, the Interior and Energy. The team calculated the production costs by assessing land area, water needs and fertilizer. They also analyzed greenhouse gas emissions.
美國農業部，內政部和能源部授予了他們查閱國家數據的權利。該研究團隊，通過評估土地面積、對水的需求量和肥料用量，來計算生產成本。他們還分析了溫室氣體的排放。
Producing pork, poultry, eggs and dairy were between two and six times less efficient than growing potatoes, wheat and rice. And in the current agricultural system, beef uses 28 times more land, 11 times more water and 6 times more fertilizer than the average of the other categories of livestock. Cattle ranching also creates five times more greenhouse gas emissions. You can find more 60-Second Science on chinavoa.com.

巴拿馬病威脅香蕉生存๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑๑
　　
The most popular fruit in the world - bananas - may be about to be wiped out by an invisible killer bug.
一種無形的致死性病菌或許馬上就要把香蕉——這種世界上最受歡迎的水果——“趕盡殺絕”了。
Panama Disease - which has already destroyed the most popular variety of banana - is back and its spreading like wildfire across global crops.
The problem is, bananas are seedless and are essentially all cloned from exactly the same plant - making them extremely vulnerable to disease.
A new study has warned the much-loved yellow fruit will be wiped out if we don't take action NOW.
The Gros Michel banana was once the most popular variety in the world – until it was completely killed off by Panama Disease in the 1950s.
The Cavendish banana - from the UK - stepped in to replace the Gros Michel and now makes up 95% of all banana exports in the world.
But Panama Disease - which is transmitted through soil and water and attacks the banana plant's roots - can lay dormant, waiting to strike, for up to 30 years.
And now it's back with a new global epidemic.
　　
◘ killer --n.殺人者，殺人犯，殺手，屠殺者
參考例句：
Heart attacks have become Britain's No.1 killer disease.
➙心臟病已成為英國的頭號致命疾病。
The bulk of the evidence points to him as her killer.
➙大量證據證明是他殺死她的。
