【單詞講解】

文中的specialty eggs就是“特色雞蛋”的意思,相對于普通雞蛋(regular eggs),那些標有“非籠養(yǎng)(cage free)”、“散養(yǎng)(free range)”等字樣的特色雞蛋更受歡迎。

另外,第二句中的at a premium表示“以超過一般的價格”,premium用作名詞,可以解釋為“溢價;保險費”,也可以做形容詞,意為“高價的;優(yōu)質的”,如:We would like to see more premium gasoline provided in the market.(我們希望市場上能提供更多的優(yōu)質汽油。)
