        鸡肉在欧美国家是最便宜的肉类；在中国，小时候曾觉得吃鸡是件挺馋人的事，后来超市里的鸡胸肉鸡大腿也便宜下来了。鸡肉贵还是牛羊肉贵？你一定会说是后者，但这神圣的工业化肉禽在非洲国家塞内加尔的地位可不一样。。。除夕夜，大年初一，祝大家新春快乐！

口语点评：Redrum2407At this football contest in rural Senegal, the crowd has a lot to sing and dance about. And the modern meat of choice here to celebrate with? Chicken. The global chicken business has moved rapidly up the pecking order of meats. I'm Susie Emmett. And in this BBC World Service programme, I'm asking what if chicken conquers the world.
So we're here in an absolutely lovely typical Senegalese village. You can hear the birds singing in the trees above our heads and the sounds of grandmothers talking to little children. And there're goats walking around. There're a few cattle grazing in the distance underneath the thorntrees. But there are some chickens scratching about underneath the trees. I'm here with Mohammed Guy.
"Mohammed, what is the favourite for the meat of choice in a village like this?"
"Often," Mohammed tells me, "I prefer chicken."
"For special occasions?"
"Exactly. To celebrate and to show you're going up in the world, you offer your guests chicken. Next if it's a middle-income family, you do what you can to offer your guests a little bit of chicken. Finally," Mohammed says, "If you're a poor family, you have to do with a bit of sheep meat or beef."在塞内加尔乡村的这场足球赛上，大伙载歌载舞乐无边，在这庆祝的场合，那种肉类是人们的首选呢？是鸡肉。全球化的鸡肉产业在肉类排行榜上的地位迅速上升。我是苏西·艾米特。本期BBC全球广播节目，我的问题是：假如鸡肉征服了世界，那会如何？
我们在这里，这个绝对可爱的典型塞内加尔村庄。你能听到鸟儿在我们头上的树丛中歌唱，老奶奶对小孩子们絮语谆谆，山羊四处游荡，在远处还有几头牛在山楂树下吃草。不过这儿也有些鸡在树下刨土。我身边的是穆罕默德·盖。
穆罕默德，在像这样的村子里，那种肉最受人们青睐？
“很多时候”，默罕穆德告诉我：“我偏爱鸡肉。”
“特殊场合也是吗？”
“一点没错。为了庆祝，为了表明你的地位在上升，你应该用鸡肉来招待客人。次一级，如果是中等收入的家庭，你也应该尽你所能多少弄些鸡肉来待客。最差的情况嘛”，默罕穆德说道：“那你就必须准备些羊肉或牛肉。”
