Water is Life, Water is Food

Water is Life, Water is Food Today is World Food Day. This year, it's all about water. 今天是世界糧食日。今年的重點是水。 But, wait … we don't eat water, we drink it! Why are we talking about water on World Food Day? 但……我們不吃水、我們喝水! 為什麼要在世界糧食日講到水呢? Every living thing on Earth needs water. Animals need it to live. Plants need water too. They need it to grow and to make their own food. 地球上所有生物都需要水。動植物都需要水才能生長。 Think about all the food you eat. Meat comes from animals. Animals need water. Fruit and vegetables come from plants. Plants need water too! So without water, there is no food. 想想看所有吃過的食物。我們吃的肉跟蔬果，都是來自動物跟植物。所以沒有水，我們就沒有食物。 Don't worry. Everyone knows that water isn't REALLY food! It's a drink, … right? There's a new street snack in China. It's called "grilled ice" … That's what I said! Grilled ice! 在中國有個新的路邊小吃，叫烤冰塊，沒有錯! 真的叫做烤冰塊! The ice is cooked over a hot flame. It's not cooked for long. It doesn't all melt away! It's cooked with lots of tasty sauces and flavors. 把冰塊放到烤爐上烤，但是不會烤太久，再撒上很多醬料。 It was made as a joke. But people really like it, especially on hot days! Maybe it's tasty, but we all cannot eat ice! We need water for food, so let's protect it! ________________________________________ Vocabulary 水是重要資源，沒有水就沒有生物。 1. grill 火烤 Kevin and Bob are coming tomorrow. 凱文和鮑勃明天來。 So you're planning for dinner? 所以你在計畫晚餐?
