China lifts longstanding mad cow ban on British beef which will boost farmers £250million in first five years

取消对英国牛肉长期以来的疯牛病禁令，第一个5年内就将给农夫带来2.5亿英镑的收入

China has lifted its longstanding ban on British beef in a move which officials said would be worth £250 million to UK producers in the first five years alone.

已经取消了长期以来禁止进口英国牛肉的禁令，官员称此举在第一个五年内就将为英国养殖者带来2.5亿英镑的收入。

The chinese imposed a ban on beef exported from the UK more than 20 years ago in the wake of the BSE outbreak, commonly known as mad cow disease.

20多年前，英国爆发牛海绵状脑病，俗称疯牛病，政府颁布禁令，禁止从英国进口牛肉。

The decision to lift the ban is the culmination of several years of site inspections and negotiations between the UK and chinese officials, the Environment Department (Defra) said.

英国环境部表示，解除禁令的决定是英国和政府官员几年来进行实地考察和谈判的结果。

Environment Secretary Michael Gove said: 'This is fantastic news for our world-class food and farming industry and shows we can be a truly outward-looking Britain outside the European Union.

英国环境大臣迈克尔·戈夫说:“这对我们世界一流的食品和农业产业来说是一个天大的好消息，同时也表明我们能够在欧盟之外成为一个真正开放的英国。”

'Today's milestone will help to unlock UK agriculture's full potential and is a major step to forging new trading relationships around the globe.'

“今天这一里程碑将有助于释放英国农业的全部潜力，这是我们在全球建立新的贸易关系的关键一步。”

The announcement will allow official market access negotiations to begin, a process which typically takes around three years.

声明将允许开始官方的市场准入谈判，这一过程通常需要三年左右的时间。

It follows the Prime Minister's trade mission to China earlier this year, where she agreed new measures to improve market access to China, officials said.

官员们说，在此之前，总理的贸易代表团在今年早些时候访问了，总理同意采取新措施更好地打入市场。

National Farmers' Union livestock board chairman Richard Findlay said: 'This is clearly very positive news for British beef producers, who now have the opportunity to supply one of the biggest markets in the world.

全国农民联盟畜牧委员会主席理查德·芬德雷说:“这对英国牛肉生产商来说无疑是个好消息，他们现在有机会向全球最大的市场之一供货。”

'However, we have to remember this announcement is the start of negotiations to secure access to the demanding Chinese market.

“不过，我们必须记住，这一声明是为进入要求苛刻的市场展开谈判的开始。”

'The NFU will support and work with Government and industry to deliver access for the beef sector as soon as practically possible.

“全国农民联盟畜牧委员会将全力支持并与政府和业界合作，尽快为牛肉行业提供切实可行的服务。”

'British beef is produced to some of the highest production and animal welfare standards in the world and as we look ahead to life outside of the EU, this is an important step to taking the British brand to new markets.'

“英国牛肉是按照全球最高生产标准和动物福利标准生产的。我们展望欧盟之外的生活，这是英国品牌进入新市场的重要一步。”

Poor poor animals. More to the slaughter houses where they meet no mercy. Jeremy Corbyn, as PM. Hopefully, being vegetarian he would demonstrate compassion, prior to signing cruelty legislation. Wonder why China needs more animals to eat, given their well-known practice of torturing dogs and cats to consume!

可怜啊，可怜的动物。又有更多牛要被送到屠宰场，在那儿没人怜悯他们。杰里米·科尔宾作为首相，作为素食者，希望在签署残忍法之前，展现一点同情心。我想知道为什么需要吃掉更多的动物，考虑到他们虐待猫狗的做法，早已经是众所周知的了!

I know this will help our exports but why on Earth does a country import beef from half way around the world when they could buy it from countries a lot closer, or even increase their own beef production.

我知道这将有助于我们的出口，但为什么一个国家要跨越另一个半球来进口牛肉，他们本可以从更近的国家购买，或者增加他们自己的牛肉产量啊。

I believe that only certain people went on to suffer this terrible illness and it's something to do with their physical make-up. Illnesses like meningitis for instance, we all carry a strain of it in our throats, but only certain people go on to develop it, a bit like the MMR vaccine and autism!

我相信只有某些人会患上这种可怕的疾病，这与他们的身体构造有关。例如，像脑膜炎之类的疾病，所有人的喉咙里都有一点病原体，但只有某些人会发作，这有点像麻风腮疫苗和自闭症!

Australian, Argentinian and Brazilian beef exports to China are all soaring as Trump squanders years of effort by American beef producers to enter China's notoriously picky market. This is China giving a middle finger to the Yanks after Trump's ill-considered 'trade war.'

因为特朗普浪费了美国牛肉生产商为了打入这个以挑剔著称的市场的多年努力，所以澳大利亚、阿根廷和巴西对的牛肉出口都在飙升。这是在特朗普发动考虑不周的“贸易战”之后，对美国佬竖起的中指。

** China has deservedly copped a lot of flak in the past. BUT their decision to NOT be the world's dum ground for plastics is a game-changer ... forcing the rest of us to accept responsibility for our own polluting practices. They're leading the charge on renewable energy, & saw on YouTube the other day how they're attempting to re-vegetate deserts.

**过去受到了许多指责。但他们已经决定不再作为全球塑料制品的垃圾堆积场，这改变了游戏规则。迫使我们其他人为自己的污染行为承担起责任。他们在可再生能源方面处于领先地位，前几天我在YouTube上看到他们是如何试图重新为沙漠披上绿植的。
