英国野战军全天食品展示

2010-04-08来源:和谐英语

  The overhaul of the old packs, which had just 25 different menus, began 18 months ago after soldiers complained there was not enough variation to encourage them to eat。

  旧食品包含有25种食谱,在使用了18个月后,士兵们抱怨种类太少,勾不起他们的食欲。

  Lieutenant Commander Neil Horwood, project manager of operation ration packs, said the new menus have been drawn up by soldiers who have recently returned from operations in Afghanistan。

  负责野战食品供应的尼尔·霍尔伍德中校表示,新的食谱是由刚刚从阿富汗前线回来的士兵们自己起草的。

  "The problem with the old packs was duplication, which meant that if you were eating the same thing for four months, 80 per cent of the ration packs were the same--no one wants to eat baked beans for breakfast every day for four months," he said。

  霍尔伍德说:“老的野战食品袋最大的问题是单调重复。如果你吃上四个月的野战食品,食品袋里80%的东西都是一样的。没有人愿意每天早上都吃罐头煮黄豆,而且一连吃上四个月。”

  "In an environment that will naturally suppress your appetite, we need to tempt troops to eat more."

  “恶劣的环境肯定会抑制人的食欲,所以我们需要想办法让士兵们多吃东西。”
