考研英語閱讀基礎練習：可以吃的飲料容器

Runners in a half-marathon in London on March 1might be a little confused at the water stations,where instead of getting water in a plastic cup orbottle, they'll be handed an edible water-filled pod.

3月1日在倫敦舉行的半程馬拉松比賽上，選手們來到水站后可能會有些困惑，因為水站給他們發(fā)的不是杯裝或瓶裝的水，而是裝了水的可以食用的容器。

The package, which is also compostable, is madefrom seaweed and plant extracts. You simply bite thecorner off and drink.

該包裝是用海藻和植物提取物制成的，而且它也是可以降解的。你只需要咬掉包裝的一角，就可以飲用了。

"What we want to do is have a bulletproof solution—regardless of where it ends up, ourpackaging will not create negative consequences," says Pierre-Yves Paslier, cofounder of Notpla,the startup that makes the packaging. "If nature can deal with it if it ends up in the wrongplace, that's the ultimate kind of protection."

生產(chǎn)這種包裝的是一家初創(chuàng)公司Notpla(替代包裝專 家)，該公司聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人皮埃爾-伊夫·帕索耶表示，“我們想要提供的是一種無懈可擊的方案，也就是說，不論我們的包裝最終到了哪里，它都不會帶來負面影響。如果它最終被丟到了錯誤的場所，大自然也可以把它處理掉，這就是最終的保護措施。”
