環(huán)球時報(bào)援引英國廣播公司(BBC)19日報(bào)道,英國南部一海灘18日驚現(xiàn)數(shù)百萬根薯?xiàng)l,散落遍地,部分區(qū)域堆積厚度超半米。
Thousands of plastic bags containing French fries have washed up on a beach in East Sussex, southern England, after shipping containers spilled their contents into the sea.

據(jù)稱,這些薯?xiàng)l來自至少20個巨型集裝箱。此前一場風(fēng)暴侵襲英吉利海峽,兩艘貨輪上的集裝箱墜入海中,受海浪持續(xù)沖擊,金屬集裝箱破損,然后卷至東薩塞克斯郡沿岸海灘。
The spill was reported near Eastbourne, where several containers carrying "food and packaging" came ashore earlier this week, the BBC reported. The debris is believed to be linked to containers that fell from cargo vessels during recent storms and rough weather conditions in the English Channel.

就在兩周前,大量香蕉也曾被沖上西薩塞克斯郡附近海岸,這批香蕉同樣是隨貨輪集裝箱墜入海中后漂至岸邊。
薯?xiàng)l的不同叫法
其實(shí),“薯?xiàng)l”在美式英語和英式英語里的叫法并不一樣。在英式英語中,薯?xiàng)l通常叫chips,指的是炸得比較粗的土豆條。

而在美式英語中,人們一般把薯?xiàng)l稱為French fries,或直接說fries。
需要注意的是,chips在美式英語里并不是薯?xiàng)l,而是指袋裝的薯片。在英式英語中,薯片則被叫作crisps。
