Jerry:Yes,that's how I got enough organic food for the whole year!I have never bought vegetables from the markets.

Fred:And what kind of food do you like to make with these vegetable?

Jerry:I just love the raw vegetables,so salads are great,and I eat them with Tofu or……yeah,vegetables are good. I like to make soup with fresh veggies as well.

Fred:Oh,what kind of soup?

Jerry:Well,I usually don't follow the written recipes. I do it in my way.I throw any veggies into the pot.Of course,tomato soup and corn soup are amazing.

Fred:Sounds good. How do you make the soups?I mean what is the procedure?

Jerry:OK,well,basically I choose whatever vegetables I have,chop them up and cook them,I like crunchy things so I boil them lightly. And then just add a bit of some salt,then a soup is done,a veggie soup.

Fred:That's must be a very special soup!But for me,I can't eat without meat.

Jerry:I'm a vegetarian,you remember?

Fred:Oh,yes,you are.

对话2:

弗雷德:喂,杰瑞我听说你有一个花园。

杰瑞:对,我在后院搭建了个菜园,种植有机作物。

弗雷德:真好!你能跟我说说你家种的有机作物吗,你是怎么吃的?

杰瑞:当然可以!夏天的时候我种许多能用来做沙拉的蔬菜:包括莴苣、大葱、西红柿;而冬天则种大量的胡萝卜、卷心菜和花椰菜。

弗雷德:哇,你一整年都种蔬菜!

杰瑞:是的,我一整年都能吃到有机食物!我从不在市场买菜。

弗雷德:你喜欢用这些蔬菜做什么菜来吃?

杰瑞:我喜欢吃生蔬菜,做成沙拉会很棒,我会搭配豆腐来吃,或者……,总之,蔬菜非常棒。我喜欢用新鲜的蔬菜做汤。

弗雷德:哪种汤?

杰瑞:实际上我并不按照食谱做,用自己的方法来烹饪。我把所有的蔬菜都放进锅里。当然啦,西红柿汤和玉米汤非常棒。

弗雷德:听起来不错。你怎么做汤?我是说步骤是什么?

杰瑞:好,基本上来说我选用我能找到的蔬菜做汤,把蔬菜切碎然后煮。我喜欢吃起来脆脆的蔬菜,所以稍微煮一下。再放点盐就行了,这样就做成了汤,蔬菜汤。

弗雷德:那汤肯定非常特别!但是对于我,没有肉我可吃不下。

杰瑞:我是一名素食者,还记得吧?

弗雷德:噢,对了,没错。

有机食物越来越受欢迎

More land around the world is being dedicated to organic farming. The World Watch Institute says since 1999 there's been a more than three-fold increase to 37 million hectares.

据世界观察研究所调查,世界上越来越多土地被用来种植有机作物,自从1999年来,有机作物种植面积增长了3倍,达到3700万公顷。

“Organic farming is farming without chemical inputs,like pesticides and fertilizers. Instead of using those inputs it uses a variety of natural techniques,like rotating crops and applying compost to fields-and growing crops that will return nutrients to the soil naturally instead of via chemicals,”said World Watch researcher Laura Reynolds,who co-authored a new report on the growth of organic agriculture.

“有机农场种植不使用化学物质,如杀虫剂和化肥,而通过各项天然技术,比如轮换种植作物和使用混合肥料,从而让营养物质回归土壤。”《有机农业的发展》最新报告的合著者、世界观察所研究员劳拉·雷诺兹说道。

It said that a range of public health and environmental benefits.

有机农业同样有利于公共卫生和环境。

“It delivers fewer pesticides and chemicals to what we eat and to the farmers growing the food. It also delivers a range of economic benefits to farmers growing organically because they found they can get a much higher price if their food is certified organic,”she said.

劳拉说:“有机农业减少了人们食物当中的药剂和化学物质含量,也有利于增加种植者的收入,因为有机作物的价格会高许多。”
