無酒精和低酒精飲品
As many believe that alcohol is a vital ingredient of the holiday spirit, the consumption of alcohol has always been a crucial part of festive celebrations.
由於許多人認為酒精是節慶精神中不可或缺的一環，飲酒一直是節日慶祝很重要的一部分。
vital (adj.)重要的、必不可少的=important=crucialconsumption (n.)喝、吃、消費、消耗
Recently, however, researchers from the International Wine and Spirits Record (IWSR) have picked up on a surprising trend:
然而，最近，國際葡萄酒及烈酒研究機構IWSR注意到一項驚人的趨勢：
pick up on sth. 注意到（其他人沒注意到的事情）
More and more people are turning to NoLo beverages instead.
愈來愈多人轉而選擇NoLo飲品。
turn to 轉而選擇～
NoLo, or no- and low-alcohol beverages, refers to drinks that traditionally include alcohol, such as beer and wine, but are manufactured so that alcohol is either eliminated completely or reduced significantly.
NoLo，或稱為無酒精和低酒精飲品，指的是像是啤酒和葡萄酒這種傳統上包含酒精的飲品，但製造時卻把當中的酒精完全去除或大幅減少。
manufacture (v.)製造eliminate (v.)消除=get rid of sth.
Research from IWSR indicates that sales of NoLo beverages grew by 17% in the UK alone in 2021, with other developed countries, such as France, Canada and the US, also seeing similar increases in consumption.
IWSR的研究指出，2021年NoLo飲品的銷售量光是在英國就成長了17％，而其他已開發國家，像是法國、加拿大和美國，也都有類似的消費量成長。
Various factors have contributed to this trend, with the major one being the increasing awareness of the risks of alcohol overconsumption, such as weakened immune system and liver disease.
造成這項趨勢的因素有很多，但其中一項主要的原因是對於過度飲酒帶來的危險意識提升，像是免疫系統弱化和肝臟疾病。

In addition, with consumers spending more and more time at home during the pandemic, they have been engaging in fewer social activities and thus do not see the need to consume drinks with higher alcohol content.
此外，由於消費者在疫情間待在家的時間愈來愈長，他們較少參與社交活動，因此認為不需要飲用高酒精的飲品。
engage in sth. 參加、參與= participate in sth.= take part in sth.
Although it is quite unlikely that NoLo drinks will replace traditional alcohol entirely, IWSR predicts that the number of consumers opting to cut down on their alcohol intake will continue to grow.
雖然NoLo不太可能完全取代傳統酒精飲品，IWSR預估選擇減少酒精攝取的消費者將持續增加。
replace (v.)取代opt to VR 選擇做～cut down (on) sth. 減少、削減intake (n.)攝取
They also estimate that the production of NoLo beverages will increase 31% by 2024 to meet growing demand.
他們也估計NoLo飲品的產量在2024年前會成長31％，以滿足需求。
meet (v.)滿足=fulfil=satisfy
