goal to realize by scaring the public.
通过吓唬公众来实现的目的。
They have reason to suspect that, as a possibility, the farm in Mexico is the only source, and in order to be safe people are avoiding foods from that farm, and recalls are going on. Hopefully they will continue to test samples. But no one in the government is saying they're not ruling out other possibilities. In fact, they're saying the opposite.
他们有理由怀疑墨西哥的那家农场可能是唯一来源,为了安全起见,人们正在避免食用该农场的产品,召回行动也在进行中。希望他们会继续对样本进行检测。但政府里没人说他们排除了其他可能性。事实上,他们的说法恰恰相反。
Because what the government or any private researchers have to go on, are reports based on symptoms expressed sometime within a couple of weeks of digesting certain foods. It's really hard to build an accurate roadmap unless people are symptomatic immediately. And with a week or two that can go by, it just stretches the possibilities in different directions due to other foods consumed from other sources in that timeframe.
因为政府或任何私人研究人员能依据的,是基于人们在食用某些食物后几天到几周内出现的症状所提交的报告。除非人们吃完后立刻就有症状,否则很难绘制出准确的路线图。再加上有一两周的延迟,由于这段时间内还摄入了其他来源的食物,各种可能性就变得更加复杂和分散了。
But really, any sort of contaminant like that can come from just about anywhere, and it would be unwise to assume that one farm in Mexico is the only source of this particular contaminant, or that it's just limited to products sold to Taco Bell.
但事实上,任何这类污染物都可能来自几乎任何地方,假设墨西哥的某一家农场是这种特定污染物的唯一来源,或者它仅仅局限于供应给塔可贝尔的产品,那是不明智的。
I believe this is not the only thing we will hear about this particular contaminant, let alone possibly others at some point.
我相信我们关于这种特定污染物听到的消息不止这些,更不用说将来还可能涉及其他污染物。
