Passage Two
段落二
In a small laboratory at the Medical University of South Carolina, Dr. Vladimir Mironov has been working for a decade to grow meat.
在美国南卡罗莱纳医科大学的一个小实验室里，弗拉基米尔·米罗诺夫十年来一直潜心钻研“种肉”。
A developmental biologist and tissue engineer, Dr. Mironov, is one of only a few scientists worldwide involved in bioengineering 'cultured' meat.
米罗诺夫博士是一位生物学家和组织工程师，也是全世界为数不多的通过生物工程“培育”肉的科学家之一。
It's a product he believes could help solve future global food crises resulting from shrinking amounts of land available for growing meat the old-fashioned way.
他相信，由于可以用来饲养蹄类动物的土地日益匮乏，以旧方式养殖获得的肉会越来越少，他“种”的肉可以用来帮助解决未来全球的粮食危机。
“Growth of cultured meat is also under way in the Netherlands”, Mironov told Reuters in an interview, “but in the United States, it is science in search of funding and demand.”
米罗诺夫在接受路透采访时表示：“培育人造肉也在荷兰进行，但在美国需要寻找资金和需求。”
The new National Institute of Food and Agriculture won't fund it, the National Institutes of Health won't fund it, and the NASA funded it only briefly, Mironov said.
米罗诺夫说，国家粮食和农业研究所、美国国立卫生研究院不提供资助，而美国宇航局只资助一点。
"It's classic disruptive technology," Mironov said. "Bringing any new technology on the market, on average, costs $1 billion. We don't even have $1 million."
米罗诺夫说：“这是典型的颠覆性技术。引领新技术走向市场平均需要花费10亿美金，但是我们连100万美金都没有。”
Director of the Advanced Tissue Biofabrication Center in the Department of Regenerative Medicine and Cell Biology at the medical university, Mironov now primarily conducts research on tissue engineering, or growing, of human organs.
米罗诺夫，医科大学再生医学与细胞生物学部门，高级组织生物制造中心主任，主要进行人体器官组织工程或生长的研究。
"There's an unpleasant factor when people find out meat is grown in a lab. They don't like to associate technology with food, "said Nicholas Genovese, a visiting scholar in cancer cell biology.
尼古拉斯·吉诺维斯，癌症细胞生物学的访问学者说：“人们不喜欢看到肉生长在实验室里。他们不喜欢食物和科技相连。”
"But there are a lot of products that we eat today that are considered natural that are produced in a similar manner, "Genovese said.
吉诺维斯说：“但是我们当今吃的很多被认为天然的食物都是以这种方式产生的。”
