shelf life 保质期
在超市购物时,我们都会特别留意一下食物的保质期有多久,是否新鲜,以免买到过期的商品。 “保质期”指产品的最佳食用期,可以翻译为“best-before date,shelf life,expiration date或freshness date”,表示“the length of time that a product, especially food, can be kept in a shop before it becomes too old to be sold or used”。 超出保质期的食品即“过期食品”,可以翻译为“expired food”。 例句: 新鲜水果的保质期很短。 Fresh fruit has a very short shelf life. 但是过期的苏打水跑气,味道也会大打折扣。 But soda past its expiration date goes flat and loses much of its taste. 酸奶已经过期了。 This yogurt is past its sell-by date. |
