"Feeding the 5,000" is a celebration of the solutions to food waste,

「五千人公益餐車」是為了慶祝我們找到了解決食物浪費的方法，

情態助動詞 B1

where we feed 5,000 people a delicious meal made entirely out of foods that would otherwise have gone to waste.

在此活動中我們讓五千位民眾享用一頓美味的餐點，而這一餐完全使用本來會被浪費掉的食物來製作。

基礎被動語態

America is a country which has a massive problem of food waste; 40% of the food isn't consumed.

美國是一個有極大的食物浪費問題的國家。有百分之四十的食物沒被消耗。

A huge amount of perfectly good food is being wasted, all the way up and down the supply chain.

完好的食物被大量浪費，而食物供應鏈整個上至下都在浪費食物。

You start on the farms; you go to manufacturers, wholesalers, restaurants, and of course in our homes.

打從農場開始，你會發現一路到製造商、批發商、餐廳，以及當然在你我的家裡都有食物浪費的問題。

Food has been rejected because it's too ugly, the wrong shape or size.

許多食物被丟棄的原因是因為長得太醜、形狀不對或是太大太小，

So, these cauliflowers, for example, perfectly delicious and edible.

所以你現在看的這些花椰菜，十分美味且可食用。

They've just got a few blemishes, and the wholesalers weren't able to sell them.

它們只是有一些瑕疵罷了，而零售商因此就賣不出去了。

And we go in, we intervene, we say, "Don't chuck that away! Give it to us. We're gonna cook it up for 5,000 people."

然後我們介入、干預，對他們說：「別把食物扔掉！讓我們接手，要將其煮給五千個人吃。」

We had 800 pounds of just the sweet potatoes today, and that's just the beginning.

我們今天就收到了八百磅的番薯，而這才剛開始而已。

We have hundreds and hundreds of pounds of food that would otherwise have gone to waste that we're putting to good use.

好幾百磅本來會被浪費掉的食物來到我們的手中善加利用。

We've got teams of four to six chopping vegetables around big round tables while they listen to the music and enjoy the day.

我們有四到六人為一組的團隊在大圓桌上面切菜，同時邊聽音樂邊享受這天的工作。

So, right now, we are putting the finishing touches on the 5,000 meals of vegetable curry that we've started preparing yesterday and will be serving to the community today.

所以我們此刻是在為五千份蔬菜咖哩的製作進行收尾，這批食物我們昨天就開始準備了，然後今天便會供餐給社區團體。

It's up to us, the citizens of this country, of this world, to say, "We're fed up with food waste, and it's time to take food waste off the menu."

這是我們為國民亦是世界公民的職責，我們要負責地說：「我們受夠食物浪費了，是時候停止食物浪費。」
