Translation - English Confusing Eating Behavior of Modern People: Hours in Queuing, Minutes on Eating
One has to feel at peace, for such a priority, eating worth waiting, as an approach to improve patience.
Not many consumers would like to waste their time in a queue. A survey done by iResearch, a leading provider of online audience measurement and consumer insights in China showed, among all the respondents, only 3.2% of them spend more than an hour in queuing to get seated. Most of the respondents, however held their patience in half hour exclusively. people are happy with spending precious time of their own on meaningless queuing. Only 3.2% of customers think queuing time more than 1 hour is acceptable, while most of them would be annoyed when they have to wait for more than half hour, as the data collected by iResearch (a leading provider of online audience measurement and consumer insights in China) indicates.
Half hour may seem short but when a half hour is taken from all customers, the number would be stunning. Thanks to the internet, modern people have been provided with multiple alternatives for their free hours. With so many options available for them, modern people however would find it barely impossible to keep themselves engaged at simply one aim.
The half-hour waiting time is a time period when we may easily feel empty if we don’t keep ourselves busy.The scenarios is more or like a the commute time we spend on subways, during which though our attention is supposed to be paid on subway stop only, now that the trip is long and uninspiring we have to scroll our cellphone screens and wear earphones to make a little fun for ourselves. Being aware of the fact that the consumers would not stay still. It will be an absolute niche business if a restaurant manages to chain the customers to its nearby or to the shopping mall during their half-hour waiting time regardless of the fact that customers would not stay around the restaurant as they would expect. At just the right time, the business of waiting lines sprouts.
English to Chinese: PED: Is it time to eliminate it from US herds? General field: Medical Detailed field: Livestock / Animal Husbandry
Source text - English Porcine endemic diarrhea (PED) virus made its way into the US swine population unexpectedly in 2013. That year at the World Pork Expo, Paul Yeske, DVM, of the Swine Vet Center, St. Peter, Minnesota, and I led a meeting stressing the importance and value of elimination. We had little support because there were a lot of unanswered questions.
Nevertheless, PED was a great wakeup call for the industry. It spawned development of the Swine Health Information Center (SHIC) as well as a definition of transboundary agents. It
fostered cooperation with USDA. The industry realized $3.734 million Pork Checkoff dollars for research. Elimination techniques were refined to minimize losses. Thousands of dollars were invested in biosecurity, including erection of truck washes. Research models were developed to evaluate our industry’s risk for entry of foreign animal diseases.
As a result of these efforts, the number of PED cases each winter in the Morrison Swine Health Monitoring Project database remains essentially the same (Figure 1). That might be
considered progress, but I believe it’s time for our industry to take the next step and seriously consider eliminating PED from the national herd.
Translation - Chinese 猪流行性腹泻（PED）病毒于2013年意外进入美国猪群。同年，在世界猪业博览会上，我与来自明尼苏达州圣彼得市猪类兽医中心 (Swine Vet Center) 的保罗·耶斯克博士 (Paul Yeske) 一同主持一场会议，强调根除PED的重要性与价值。当时许多疑问都还没有答案，因此我们并未得到很多支持。
尽管如此，PED还是为养猪业敲响警钟。这推动了养猪健康信息中心 (SHIC) 的发展和对跨境病原体的定义，并推动了养猪业与美国农业部的合作。养猪业筹集了373.4万美元的国家猪肉委员会 (Pork Checkoff) 基金以用于研究；行业改进了病毒净化技术以尽量减少损失；为生物安全工作投资了大量资金，包括安装卡车清洗设备；还开发了多个研究模型，用于评估外来动物疾病的行业风险。
在这些努力下，莫里森猪健康监测项目数据库中的每年冬季PED感染病例数大体相同（如图1所示）。这可以认为已取得进展，但我认为，这正是养猪业开启下一步工作、严肃考虑在美国境内根除PED的时候。
