【英音模仿秀】巧克力梦想

模仿文本: In fact, Mott Green had already shaken up the chocolate world with what seemed like a simple idea - the cocoa farmers could also be the chocolate makers¹, that the people who grew the beans could also be the main beneficiaries when we buy the bar. It sounds simple but it was in fact a revolutionary idea and an incredible feat² of engineering. And so it was a story we were keen to tell on the Food Programme.

译文: 事实上，莫特·格林用一个看似简单的想法——可可农应该同时制造巧克力——撼动了整个巧克力行业，种植可可豆的人们最应从我们购买巧克力的行为中获益。这听起来很简单，但实际上却是革命性的，是工程学中的大事件。正因如此，我们才如此热衷于在美食节目中讲述这个故事。
