双语趣听精彩世界 第183期:你会更爱英国的鸡爪子吗?

 　　Ft.com: China's appetite for British milk, pork, Yorkshire tea and salmon¹ led to a 12 per cent jump in food exports to the country last year but the industry says it needs more government support to exploit rising overseas demand.

　　Steve Barnes, economic and commercial services director at the Food and Drink Federation², the industry body, said the Chinese market was particularly attractive because it complemented³ British eating habits.

　　Mr Barnes says the Chinese diet is different — they tend to eat things that British don't consume, like chicken feet, pigs' faces, trotters and offal.
