Washington state agricultural officials _1_ today that genetically modified alfalfa was found and filled where it shouldn't have been. Growing the crop is legal in the United States, but it's not clear if the mix-up will upset sensitive export markets. Anne King of the northwest News network reports.

今天，華盛頓州農(nóng)業(yè)官員宣布，在不應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)的地方發(fā)現(xiàn)了轉(zhuǎn)基因紫花苜蓿。種植這種作物在美國(guó)是合法的，但是目前并不清楚這種局面是否會(huì)影響到敏感的出口市場(chǎng)。西北新聞的安妮·金將帶來報(bào)道。

Jerks Gan, is a well known alfalfa grower in southeastern Washington. On his farm, all seed _2_ before it's planted to make sure that there is no genetically engineered stuff mixed in. Then in _3_, he tests its crop again. But even a harvester, with the bit of hay left from a genome field, could boggle a prime cell. Gan says.

哲克斯·甘是華盛頓西南部有名的紫花苜蓿種植者。他的農(nóng)場(chǎng)在種植之前會(huì)對(duì)所有的種子進(jìn)行檢測(cè)，以確保沒有轉(zhuǎn)基因的種子混合在內(nèi)。之后在收獲的時(shí)候，他會(huì)再次對(duì)作物進(jìn)行檢測(cè)。但是即使是帶有轉(zhuǎn)基因地區(qū)小部分干草的收割機(jī)也會(huì)損害主要細(xì)胞。甘表示。

"I want people to understand that they close do care about our markets, we wanna make sure that our markets have the choice _4_ to their own to buy whatever type of fruits they like to have."

“我希望人們能理解，他們非常關(guān)注我們的市場(chǎng)，我們想確定我們的市場(chǎng)有自主選擇的能力，購(gòu)買其喜歡的任何類型的水果。”

The state department of agriculture _5_ with the federal government to see if any further action is needed. For NPR News, I'm Anne King, in Richland, Washington.
