鄙人以為untreated cow 應該翻譯為未被治療過的母牛更為恰當
治愈,顧名思義,為治療痊愈,是在生病的狀況下治療從而達到健康狀態(tài),如翻譯為
從還沒被治愈的母牛,言外之意,此為病牛,沒有被治療過的牛,更符合文章語境,可以包含此牛體內(nèi)不含有任何類似抗生素殘留物成分之意
翻譯全句為;為被治療過的奶牛所產(chǎn)牛奶還是相對安全,適合飲用的
不能被治愈的母牛 incurable cow
American farmers have to throw away milk produced during treatment because of rules against antibiotic residues in milk
翻譯:由于法律禁止牛奶中包含有抗生素殘留物,美國的農(nóng)場主必須把奶牛在治療期間所產(chǎn)牛奶丟棄
