舊石器時代食材
An Australian food company, Vow, has used cutting-edge biotechnology to create a meatball from a highly unconventional source of protein — the long-extinct wooly mammoth.
澳洲食品公司Vow以先進的生物科技從一種極不尋常的傳統蛋白質來源──滅絕已久的長毛象，製作了一種肉丸。
cutting-edge biotechnology尖端生物科技unconventional(adj.)不因循守舊的、不同尋常的extinct(adj.)滅絕的、絕種的、消失的endangered(adj.)瀕臨絕種的endangered birds瀕臨絕種的鳥類endangered species瀕臨絕種的物種
The meatball not only highlights the potential of cultivated meat, but also comments on the current climate crisis by symbolizing how mammoths, believed to have gone extinct due to global warming and human hunting after the last ice age, are now being resurrected as a potential alternative to the way meat is produced.
這不僅突顯了人造肉的潛力，而且還透過象徵長毛象（據信在上個冰河時期因全球暖化和人類獵捕而滅絕）如何作為傳統肉類生產的可能替代方案而被復活，來評論當前的氣候危機。
highlight(v.)突顯出comment on評論resurrect(v.)使復活;使起死回生
Unlike traditional meat production, cultivated meat is grown in labs from animal cells, aiming to reduce the negative environmental impact of large-scale meat production by using fewer resources like land and water, while completely eliminating methane emissions produced by livestock.
與傳統肉類生產不同，人造肉是在實驗室中從動物細胞中培育出來的，旨在透過使用較少的土地和水等資源，減少大規模肉類生產對環境的負面影響，同時完全消除由牲畜產生的甲烷排放氣體。
aim to意圖、打算、致力於做某事情eliminate(v.)排除、消除、清除emit(v.)(氣體)排放emission(n.)排放(氣體)reduce carbon emissions減少碳排放
To create the mammoth meatball, Vow collaborated with Prof. Ernst Wolvetang and his team from the Australian Institute for Bioengineering at the University of Queensland.
為了創造長毛象肉丸，Vow公司與昆士蘭大學澳洲生物工程研究所的沃爾維唐教授及其團隊合作。

The team extracted the DNA sequence from mammoth muscle protein myoglobin and added it to sheep stem cells.
團隊從長毛象肌肉蛋白「肌紅素」中提取DNA序列，並將其加入綿羊幹細胞中。
extract(v.)提取;取出=take outmyoglobin 肌紅蛋白、肌紅素stem cells幹細胞
The completed sequence was then replicated by the company in only a few weeks, a process that Wolvetang described as being “ridiculously easy and fast.”
這家公司在短短幾周內就複製了完成的序列，這個過程被沃爾維唐描述為「非常容易且快速到荒謬的程度」。
replicate(v.)複製、再造ridiculously(adv.)荒謬地;離譜地
Unfortunately, this resurrection of “authentic” paleolithic meat is not yet fit for human consumption, as there is a possibility that the modern human body may not be able to handle the ancient protein source.
不幸的是，這種「正宗」的舊石器時代肉類還不適合人類食用，因為現代人的身體可能無法消化這種古老的蛋白質來源。

However, those interested in trying cultivated meat can currently taste chicken from the company Good Meat, which is available in Singapore.
然而，有興趣嘗試人造肉的人目前可以品嚐Good Meat公司生產的人造雞肉，在新加坡有販售。
Two other companies have been approved to sell lab-grown meats in the US.
美國已批准另外兩家公司銷售實驗室培育的肉類。
