Source text - English Winters used to be cold in England. We, my parents especially, spent them watching the wrestling. The wrestling they watched on their black-and-white television sets on Saturday afternoons represented a brief intrusion of life and colour in their otherwise monochrome lives. Their work overalls were faded, the sofa cover—unchanged for years—was faded, their memories of the people they had been before coming to England were fading too. My parents, their whole generation, treadmilled away the best years of their lives toiling in factories for shoddy paypackets. A life of drudgery, of deformed spines, of chronic arthritis, of severed hands. They bit their lips and put up with the pain. They had no option but to. In their minds they tried to switch off—to ignore the slights of co-workers, not to bridle against the glib cackling of foremen, and, in the case of Indian women, not to fret when they were slapped about by their husbands. Put up with the pain, they told themselves, deal with the pain—the shooting pains up the arms, the corroded hip joints, the back seizures from leaning over sewing machines for too many years, the callused knuckles from handwashing clothes, the rheumy knees from scrubbing the kitchen floor with their husbands' used underpants.
When my parents sat down to watch the wrestling on Saturday afternoons, milky cardamon tea in hand, they wanted to be entertained, they wanted a laugh. But they also wanted the good guy, just for once, to triumph over the bad guy. They wanted the swaggering, braying bully to get his come-uppance. They prayed for the nice guy, lying there on the canvas, trapped in a double-finger interlock or clutching his kidneys in agony, not to submit. If only he could hold out just a bit longer, bear the pain, last the course. If only he did these things, chances were, wrestling being what it was, that he would triumph. It was only a qualified victory, however. You'd see the winner, exhausted, barely able to wave to the crowd. The triumph was mainly one of survival.
Translation - Chinese 英国的冬天通常很冷。我们全家，尤其是我的父母，都会在冬天观看摔跤比赛。他们一般在周六下午观看比赛。这给他们单调的生活带来了一丝乐趣和色彩。和家里的黑白电视一样，他们的工作服已经褪色，经年未变的沙发套也已经褪色，他们记忆中来过英国的人们同样已经褪色。我的父母那一代人，一生都很辛劳，大好的年华都在枯燥乏味、薪资微薄的工作中度过。艰辛的劳作早已将他们的脊梁压弯，让他们患上了慢性关节炎，手掌也已伤残。他们逆来顺受，默默忍受着痛苦，因为他们没有其他的选择，只能接受这份工作。在他们的心里，他们尽量不在意同事的轻视，不想对工头油腔滑调的言语奋起反击，也不会对印度妇女遭到丈夫的毒打而烦躁。他们告诉自己，一定要忍受这些痛苦。同时，他们还要面对身体上的痛苦：胳膊不时阵阵发痛，髋关节也出现了毛病，背部因为长年俯身于缝纫机而痉挛发作，指关节因为手洗衣服而结出老茧，膝盖因为用丈夫的旧内衣擦洗厨房地板而患上了风湿。

Source text - English Freeze drying
Every GEA freeze dryer is designed to help you create a product that will succeed in the market — with GEA being a partner in reaching that goal. Freeze drying is a low-temperature dehydration process that’s typically used to preserve a perishable material or make it more convenient for transport or storage. Freeze drying works by freezing the product and then reducing the surrounding pressure to allow the frozen water in the material to sublimate directly from the solid phase to the gas phase. As a result, freeze dried foodstuffs have many advantages; they’re easy to ship and store, needing no refrigeration, they have extended shelf-lives and can be consumed with a minimum of preparation, making it an ideal process for many types of convenience foods.
Batch or continuous
GEA offers freeze dryers for a wide range of fruit and vegetable applications. Ideal for both batch-based and continuous lines, our easy to use RAY™ and CONRAD® units are designed to eliminate product loss, reduce energy costs and maximize plant reliability.
RAY™ freeze dryers for batch-based applications are designed as modular systems and offer a number of advantages during installation and operation and provide easy access for cleaning and maintenance. CONRAD® freeze dryers are ideally suited for large volume, high value products. The CONRAD® range is fully automated and requires only minimal staff for continuous operation. All movement and process parameters are carefully controlled, monitored and logged. A unique feature of all GEA freeze dryers is the internal vapor condenser with built-in de-icing system. Compared with external condenser systems, the equipment is compact, uses less energy, minimizes product loss to as little as 0.1% and, because the condenser system does not rely on large external vacuum valves, it’s significantly more reliable. Furthermore, they’re economical to operate and easy to maintain. To further optimize the productivity of the CONRAD®, an ECO version is available; with a larger diameter and an increased condenser surface, the refrigeration system can be made up to 10% more energy efficient.
