CNN News:橫掃饑餓，看我如何用剩飯拯救你

In the U.S., 40 percent of the food that's produced goes uneaten, goes to waste. A charity organizer named Robert Lee says the amount of food that's wasted is enough to eradicate hunger. So, Lee founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine. The organization is based on a simple idea and it's working for New York's restaurants and New York's hungry.

在美國，所生產的40%的食物并沒有被吃掉，而是被浪費了。一個慈善機構的組織者 Robert Lee說，這些浪費的食物的數(shù)量足夠用來消除饑餓了。所以Lee成立了“拯救剩余的飯菜”這個慈善組織。這個慈善組織就是基于這樣一個簡單的想法，為紐約的一些餐館和饑餓的人群服務。

Lee is today's character study.

Lee就是今天的焦點主人公。

ROBERT LEE, CNN HERO: The club that I was involved in, in college, brought leftover dining hall food from campus to the homeless shelter, and I just thought that the concept could be applied outside the borders of NYU.

Robert Lee，CNN主人公：大學我所加入的社團，將校園里食堂賣不完的飯菜帶到流浪者收容所。我就想這個想法不應該只局限于校園。

So, welcome, and thank you guys for coming. Today, we'll be going to the Long Rodeo Cafe.

所以，歡迎各位加入。今天，我們要去 Long Rodeo (ph) Cafe咖啡廳。

In Manhattan alone, there is about 100,000 restaurants. Our strategy is to work with as many restaurants as possible and get that food waste to people who need it.

僅在曼哈頓，大約就有10萬個餐館。我們的策略是盡可能與更多的餐館合作，然后將那里剩余的食物送給需要的人們。

Looks really good.

Our group has no minimum food requirement. We pick up any amount of food, no matter how small it is.

我們對食物的量沒有要求。我們會接受所有的食物，無論它有多小。

Thanks a lot. Thanks, guys. I'll see you later.

Because that small amount can feed someone.

You see the line now. They're actually going in for dinner. All that food today that would have been thrown out without your help. So I really appreciate it.

你們現(xiàn)在看到的這個長隊，這是人們排隊進去吃飯。如果沒有你們的幫助，他們今天所吃的這些食物都會被扔掉。所以，我真的很感激。

Since we started, we have rescued over 100,000 pounds of food. It's just the beginning.

從我們開始以來到現(xiàn)在，已經拯救了10萬多英鎊的食物。但這僅是開始而已。

The need is so great, and there is just so much demand.

需求這么大，只會有更多的需求。

Perfect.

With more restaurants, who knows how much more we could do?

有越來越多的餐廳和我們合作，但我們也不知道自己能夠幫助多少人?
