對話 Dialogue
小實：馬克，你要吃吃看我買的蟋蟀餅乾嗎？
Xiǎoshí: Mǎkè, nǐ yào chī chī kàn wǒ mǎi de xīshuài bǐnggān ma?
馬克：什麼？蟋……蟀？是那種昆蟲嗎？
Mǎkè: Shénme? Xī...shuài? Shì nà zhǒng kūnchóng ma?
小實：對啊！雖然聽起來很可怕，可是很營養、很好吃！
Xiǎoshí: Duì a! Suīrán tīng qǐlái hěn kěpà, kěshì hěn yíngyǎng, hěn hǎochī ye!
馬克：我看過新聞，有些專家在推廣吃昆蟲，可是……
Mǎkè: Wǒ kànguò xīnwén, yǒuxiē zhuānjiā zài tuīguǎng chī kūnchóng, kěshì...
小實：我也不敢直接吃昆蟲，所以先從餅乾開始吃。
Xiǎoshí: Wǒ yě bù gǎn zhíjiē chī kūnchóng, suǒyǐ xiān cóng bǐnggān kāishǐ chī.
馬克：雖然昆蟲有蛋白質，可是我還是比較想吃牛肉。
Mǎkè: Suīrán kūnchóng yǒu dànbáizhí, kěshì wǒ háishì bǐjiào xiǎng chī niúròu.
小實：除了蛋白質的營養以外，吃昆蟲也比較環保哦。
Xiǎoshí: Chúle dànbáizhí de yíngyǎng yǐwài, chī kūnchóng yě bǐjiào huánbǎo ó.
馬克：哦？因為養昆蟲需要的飼料比較少嗎？
Mǎkè: Ó? Yīnwèi yǎng kūnchóng xūyào de sìliào bǐjiào shǎo ma?
小實：沒錯！而且昆蟲的大便也不會有溫室氣體的問題。
Xiǎoshí: Méicuò! Érqiě kūnchóng de dàbiàn yě búhuì yǒu wēnshì qìtǐ de wèntí.
翻譯 Translation
Xiaoshi: Mark, do you want to try the cricket biscuits I bought?
Mark: What? “Cricket”? Isn’t that a kind of insect?
Xiaoshi: Yes. It might sound scary, but it is very nutritious and delicious!
Mark: I’ve seen the news. Some experts are promoting eating insects, but...
Xiaoshi: I am afraid of eating insects directly as well, so I started with biscuits.
Mark: Although insects have protein, I still prefer eating beef.
Xiaoshi: In addition to the nutrition of protein, eating insects is also more environmentally friendly.
Mark: Oh? Is it because raising insects requires less feed?
Xiaoshi: That’s right! And insect droppings do not pose a greenhouse gas problem.
