珍妮特和丹尼继续谈论食品安全问题。

• J:I am really fascinated by fresh ingredients, intricate cooking and diverse traditions of Chinese food, but a series of food safety incidents have damaged our country's reputation for fine cuisine.
• 珍妮特：中华美食中新鲜的食材、复杂精细的烹制过程以及饮食传统的多样性都令我为之着迷，但一系列食品安全事件却令中华美食名声受损。
• D:Yes, you are right. Every time when I have to dine out, several questions haunt me: Is this meat safe? Does this meal contain additives? Do they use illegal cooking oil?
• 丹尼：是的。每次外出就餐时，我总被几个问题困扰着：肉类安全吗？食品里含添加剂吗？他们用的是地沟油吗？
• J:That bothers me too.
• 珍妮特：这也令我很苦恼。
• D:The U.S. may do better in this regard.
• 丹尼：美国在这方面也许做得好一点。
• J:What is their experience?
• 珍妮特：他们有什么经验呢？
• D:They are improving the legal system all the time and have very strict law enforcement.
• 丹尼：他们一直在完善法律体系，且在执法上非常严格。
• J:We also have a food sanitation management law, but it is not strictly enforced.
• 珍妮特：我们也有国家食品安全管理法，但执行得不够严格。
• D:So sorry to hear that. I think another reason may be connected with industrialization of food production.
• 丹尼：很遗憾。我觉得，食品安全问题可能还跟食品生产的工业化有关。
• J:Yes, you bet. Some illegal traders care about nothing but making money, even if the food is harmful to the human body.
• 珍妮特：是的，确实。一些不法商贩只顾挣钱，他们甚至生产对人体有害的食物。
• D:As producers, it is very important for them to be morally honest. They should never try to pursue profit at the expense of health and people's lives.
• 丹尼：作为生产商，道德诚信非常重要。他们决不应该以人们的健康和生命为代价来追求利润。
• J:And all consumers should also learn to protect themselves and choose good quality products.
• 珍妮特：消费者也要学会保护自己，选择质量信得过的产品。
• D:Only if people are no longer worried about whether their food is safe or not can they enjoy a better life. I sincerely hope the whole society pays more attention to food safety.
• 丹尼：只有当人们不再担心食品的安全问题时，他们才能享受更好的生活。我衷心希望全社会多多重视食品安全。
• J:So how can we buy safe food?
• 珍妮特：我们怎样才能选购到安全的食物呢？
• D:When we choose food, we must remember to check the labels, confirming whether the basic information is marked on it, including ingredients, producer, shelf life and particularly date of manufacture.
• 丹尼：选食品的时候要检查标签，确认上面是否载明了食品的基本信息，包括成分表、生产商、保质期，特别要注意生产日期。
