Wheat supplies around the world are at their lowest level in thirty years. 30年来世界各地的小麦供应处于世界最低水平。
Wheat supplies in the United States are at their lowest in sixty years.
在美国,小麦供应量是60年来的最低水平。
But the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome has some good news. 但是位于罗马的联合国食品农业组织传来了好消息:
It says a big increase in winter wheat plantings in northern countries is likely to result in much higher production this year. 位于北部国家的冬小麦种植量的大增,很可能使得今年小麦产量跟高些。
The F.A.O. points out, though, that these predictions are based on normal weather conditions.
联合国食品农业组织指出,这些预测是以正常天气状况为基础。
