【跟着英剧练发音】Jimmys Food Factory S1E3- 4 Egg 2

文本：

48,000 eggs fail the crack test here every day. They’re not strong enough to safeguard¹ their precious contents during packing, transport and storage. You might expect all these dud eggs to be wasted. But there’s a big market for this liquid egg, because eggs are such a valuable ingredient in cakes, mayonnaise and other foods. So they’re all processed right here in the factory. For such a simple, natural food, I’m amazed so much attention goes into making sure every single egg we buy is checked and safe.

 

【翻译】

每天有48000个鸡蛋被检测出不合格。蛋壳不够坚硬，在包装、运输和储存的时候，不足以保护里面的蛋清和蛋黄。也许你会认为这些不合格的鸡蛋都会被浪费掉，但这种蛋液一样有很大的市场需求。因为鸡蛋是许多食品的重要原料，比如蛋糕、蛋黄酱等等。所以所有的鸡蛋在这里得到了合理的加工。对于这种简单天然的食物，我很吃惊，为了确保我们买到的每一个鸡蛋都是安全的，我们投入了如此多的关注。
