Art, technology, food, science, animal rights, human rights... we have progressed in so many categories and it's necessary to let the world know that, despite having much more to do, we've accomplished some amazing things in 2018.
艺术，科技，美食，理论科学，动物权宜，人权……在这一年里，人类在方方面面都举得了长足的进步。我觉得有必要让全世界知道，尽管任重而道远，在2018年，我们已经取得了卓越的成就！
1.France was the first country to ban supermarkets from throwing away excess food. They must donate unused food or face a fine.
在今年，法国成为第一个禁止超市弃置过剩食物的国家。这项法令规定，超市必须将未售出的食物捐赠出去，后者将面临罚款。
This is great. Here in Brazil, supermarkets and restaurants avoid donating food even when they actually wanted to because the food donated continues to be the donor's responsibility, so if, for example, it' poorly transported or stored and goes bad and someone eats it and gets sick, it's your store that will get in trouble even if it was fine when you donated, so they're all scared of donating.
这真是太棒了。在我们巴西，超市和餐馆即使有心想要捐赠食物，也会避免这样做，因为食品安全问题会最终追究到捐赠者头上，如此一来，如果食物由于运输过程中处理不当，或存储方式不当导致食物变质，受捐赠的人食用后致病，捐赠食品的商家就会被追究，即使在你捐赠食品的时候，食品没有出现质量问题，你还是会陷入麻烦。所以许多商家都不敢捐赠食品。
2.Beer company creates six pack rings that feed turtles instead of killing them.
