Ralph: What’s that?

拉尔夫：那是什么?

Nicky: It’s a bigger and better tomato. It’s been genetically modified.

妮基：这是更大、更好的西红柿，转基因食品。

Ralph: You’re not going to eat that, are you?

拉尔夫：你不会吃那个，是吧?

Nicky: Of course I am. I’m making a salad. Want one?

妮基：当然会吃啊!我正在弄沙拉酱。要吃一个吗?

Ralph: No way. I don’t want to eat something that’s been genetically engineered in a laboratory. Who knows what kind of strange DNA it has.

拉尔夫：没门。我不想吃实验室里的转基因食品。谁知道这些食品中有什么特别的DNA呢?

Nicky: It’s perfectly safe. It’s been modified to grow faster, have more nutrients, and be resistant to disease and pests.

妮基：转基因食品很安全。品种基因改变后，生长速度更快，更有营养，而且更能抗病害。

Ralph: And it may contain strange mutations as part of its genetic makeup that they didn’t tell you about. I really wouldn’t eat that if I were you.

拉尔夫：西红柿里基因构成也许包含很多奇怪的变异体，这些他们并不会告诉你。我要是你的话，就不会吃。

Nicky: Where did you get this aversion to genetically modified foods? Scientists and farmers have always used selective breeding with animals and crops to bring you bigger and better food. This is nothing different.

妮基：你为什么会对转基因食品这么厌恶?科学家和农民会挑选优良的动物和作物为人们提供更大、更好的食物。这无可厚非啊。

Ralph: Of course it is. And just because it’s bigger, doesn’t mean it’s better. I’ll eat food that’s been modified by the only person I trust.

拉尔夫：那是当然。品种变大了，并不能说它就更好了。我只吃那些我信任的那个把食物基因改变的人。

Nicky: Who’s that?

妮基：那是谁?

Ralph: Mother Nature!

拉夫尔：自然母亲!
