“召回制度” 關注食品安全
[ 2007-05-30 09:11 ]
本周二，中國國家食品藥品監管局原局長鄭筱萸因受賄、玩忽職守被判處死刑。在國民大快人心之際，食品、藥物安全問題再敲警鐘。為此，政府有望在今年年底建立不安全食品召回制度。
請看外電相關報道：China's former top drug regulator was sentenced to death Tuesday in
an unusually harsh punishment for taking bribes to approve substandard
medicines, including an antibiotic blamed for at least 10 deaths.
Seeking to address broadening concerns over food, the government also
announced plans for its first recall system for
unsafe products.
“不安全食品召回制度”相應的英文表達為“recall system for
unsafe products”，或者，也可寫作“Product Recall”。
產品質量不合格，廠家若要收回進行再處理，可用單詞“recall”，其相應的英文釋義是：“A request by the manufacturer of
a product that has been identified as defective to return it”（制造商收回問題產品）。看例句：The
car was recalled for possible safety defects.（汽車因可能存在的安全缺陷被召。）
另外，recall除了常用義“回憶、回想”，也可用來形容“取消（命令）”、“召回（大使）”，如：recall a
decision（撤銷裁定）；recall sb. from abroad（把某人從國外召回）。
此外，鄭的“玩忽職守”可表達為“dereliction of duty”。
