Professor Plumb has just invented a highly concentrated form of food.
All the essential nutritive elements are put together in the form of pellets which, diluted with water, will form all that is necessary to support life. The Professor looks forward confidently to revolutionising the present food system.
Now this kind of thing may be all very well in its way, but it is going to have its drawbacks as well. In the bright future anticipated by Professor Plumb, we can easily imagine such incidents as the following
:
The smiling family were gathered round the hospitable board. The table was plenteously laid with a soup-plate in front of each beaming child, a bucket of hot water before the radiant mother, and at the head of the board the Christmas dinner of the happy home, warmly covered by a thimble and resting on a poker chip. The expectant whispers of the little ones were hushed as the father, rising from his chair, lifted the thimble and disclosed a small pill of concentrated nourishment on the chip before him. Christmas turkey, cranberry sauce, plum pudding, mince pie—it was all there, all jammed into that little pill and only waiting to expand. Then the father with deep reverence, and devout eye alternating between the pill and heaven, lifted his voice in a benediction.
选项
答案
该食物的样子犹如药丸,里面包含所有人体所需的基本营养成分。药丸经水稀释后即形成维持生命所必需的物质。普拉姆教授满怀信心地期待着对现有的食物体系进行一次改革。 目前看来,这种食物本身也许挺不错的;不过一旦端上饭桌,它当然也会有一些美中不足的地方。从普拉姆教授所憧憬的光明前景中,我们很容易想象出下列情景: 有一家人正高高兴兴地围坐在丰盛的餐桌旁。餐桌上琳琅满目;孩子们兴高采烈,每人面前摆着一个汤盘;母亲容光焕发,面前摆着一桶热水;餐桌的上首摆着这幸福人家的圣诞大餐,上面罩着一枚顶针帽,下面垫着一张扑克牌。小家伙们满怀期待,交头接耳。父亲站起来揭下顶针帽,露出了放在扑克牌上的那枚小小的浓缩营养丸,孩子们顿时鸦雀无声。圣诞火鸡、越橘甜酱、葡萄干布丁、百果甜馅饼等…全都在那儿了,全都挤在这枚小小的丸子里,只等着扩大膨胀。接着父亲开始毕恭毕敬地高声谢主赐恩,虔诚的眼睛一会儿看着小丸子,一会儿仰视上天。
