毒奶英文係咩呀？

毒奶英文點叫好？係咩toxic/poisonous milk？如果中文慣叫的"毒奶"等於toxic或poisonous，你唔單止係腎結石，而係條命結束，玩完。呢啲＂有毒＂字眼，真係形容好毒的毒物，一般而言係嚴重危及生命的，例如中國第一毒藥鶴頂紅(crane-top red)，保證你一飲即瓜柴。

其實而家啲奶係混入咗化工原料三聚氰胺（melamine)，食得多就腎虧，呢種情況喺英文叫做＂受污染＂，你有兩個常用字可以選擇，第一個係 contaminate，就係＂受到污染＂，第二個係taint，意思差唔多。兩個字加d/ed變成past participle，就可以當形容詞用。睇吓BBC的例子：

China tainted milk scandal widens

The scandal of tainted dairy products in China has widened, with liquid milk now found to be contaminated.

Inspectors found that 10% of liquid milk taken from three dairies was tainted with melamine.

習慣來說，講＂毒奶/毒奶粉＂，我哋會用tainted milk/tainted milk powder。

你可以睇到，中文＂毒奶＂的意思唔算好準確，有時英文的生字確係分得較精細，故較適合法律語言，中文用嚟做文學，因為夠曖昩，就好正。
