四川大學老師要用熊貓糞便種世界上最貴茶葉

One may imagine that the world's most expensive tea might have some curative properties, but using panda feces as a fertilizer definitely seems a little bizarre. An Yashi, a college lecturer at Sinchuan University who is developing the tea, explains, "Pandas have a very poor digestive system and only absorb about 30 percent of everything they eat. That means their excrement is rich in fibres and nutrients."
你可能會覺得世界上最貴的茶葉可能含有某些藥物成分，但是用熊貓糞便來做肥料感覺有點怪怪的。四川大學一位名叫安琰石的大學老師正在種植這種茶葉，他說：“熊貓的消化系統很弱，吃進去的東西熊貓只能消化30%。也就是說它們的排泄物裏富含各種纖維和營養物。”

Yashi believes that his tea blend may be able to fetch up to about $36,000 per pound. He collects the excrement from a panda breeding center in southern China.
安琰石認爲自己的茶葉能夠達到每磅3萬6錢美元高價。他從中國南方的一個大熊貓繁殖中心收集大熊貓的糞便。

Somewhat similarly, the world's most expensive coffee comes from the droppings of the civet, a cat-like mammal. Who knew that feces could be the key to such delicacies?
無獨有偶，世界上最貴的咖啡也是從麝香貓的糞便裏來的。誰知道糞便會不會是絕頂美味的重要元素呢？
