【翻译原文】
转基因食品(genetically modified foods)是通过基因工程的方法对生物体的DNA作特定改变并由此产出的食品。这些技术允许引入新的作物性状，对于食物基因结构的掌控也比之前的方法，如选择性育种、诱变育种(mutationbreeding)大。中国已经成为世界上最大的大豆(soybean)进口国，购买60%的全球交易大豆。这些进口大豆大部分是转基因品种。在中国，有对关于转基因食品的激烈的公开辩论。

Genetically modified foods are foods produced fromorganisms that have had specific changesintroduced into their DNA using the methods ofgenetic engineering. These techniques have allowedthe introduction of new crop traits as well as a fargreater control over the food's genetic structure than previous methods such as selectivebreeding and mutation breeding. China has become the world s largest soybean importer, buying about 60% of the globally traded soybeans. Most of those imported soybeans aregenetically modified varieties. In China, there is a fierce public debate on genetically modifiedfood.
