edible/ 可食用/ (kěshíyònɡ)

A: Let me show you some advanced technology cosmetics I bought recently. 

给你看看我最近买了一件高科技化妆品。

(ɡěinǐ kànkàn wǒ zuìjìn mǎile yījiàn ɡāokējì huàzhuānɡpǐn.)

B: What is it? Let me see. 

是什么呢？给我看看吧。

(shì shenme ne? ɡěiwǒ kànkàn bā.)

A: It is a stick of edible lipstick. It is made using natural dyes, so it is completely edible.

是一支可食用的唇膏。它是用纯天然植物颜料染色的,是完全可以食用的。

(shì yīzhī kě shíyònɡde chúnɡāo.tā shìyònɡ chúntiānrán zhíwù yánliào rǎnsè de, shì wánquán kěyǐ shíyònɡ de.)

B: Really? This concept sounds good, but you should be careful.

是吗,这个概念听起来很不错,但你可要当心。

(shìma, zhèɡè ɡàiniàn tīnɡqǐlái hěn bùcuò, dànnǐ kěyào dānɡxīn.)

A: Why is that? What worry do you have about edible cosmetics? 

为什么？你对可食用化妆品有什么顾虑吗？

(wéishíme? nǐduì kěshíyònɡ huàzhuānɡpǐn yǒu shenme ɡùlǜ ma?)

B: The country's pharmaceutical watchdog said that  edible cosmetics do not exist. If a cosmetic product claims it is an "edible product," then it is in violation of regulations. So be careful for those products that have such tags. 

国家药监局表示,不存在可食用化妆品,如果化妆品的标签宣称"食品级",是违反法规规定的。所以,一定要小心有类似标签的商品。

(ɡuójiā yàojiānjú biǎoshì, bùcúnzài kěshíyònɡ huàzhuānɡpǐn, rúɡuǒ huàzhuānɡpǐn de biāoqiān xuānchēnɡ "shípǐnjí", shì wéifǎn fǎɡuī ɡuīdìnɡ de.suǒyǐ, yīdìnɡyào xiǎoxīn yǒu lèisì biāoqiān de shānɡpǐn.)
