British farmers are confronting an unprecedented financial crisis as post-Brexit trade deals flood domestic markets with cheaper imported meat.

英国农民正面临一场前所未有的财务危机，因为英国脱欧后的贸易协定使廉价的进口肉类充斥国内市场。

Liz Webster, who farms 647 hectares in Wiltshire, south-west England, has witnessed roughly four hundred pounds wiped off each beef animal she sells.

在英格兰西南部威尔特郡经营 647 公顷农地的莉兹·韦伯斯特见证了她所销售的每头肉牛损失了约四百英镑。

This substantial loss, on livestock typically fetching between two and three thousand pounds per head, stems directly from Australian imports entering the market.

这笔惨重的损失——发生在每头通常能卖到两千至三千英镑的牲畜上——直接源于进入市场的澳洲进口商品。

Webster cautioned that British food would inevitably disappear from mainstream supermarkets should current trends persist.

韦伯斯特警告说，如果目前的趋势持续下去，英国的食品将不可避免地从主流超市中消失。

She argued that domestically produced food would become a niche product, accessible only to wealthy consumers willing to pay premium prices.

韦伯斯特主张，国内生产的食品将成为一种小众产品，只有愿意支付高昂价格的富裕消费者才能购买。

Remarkably, supermarket beef prices have remained broadly unchanged, meaning retailers rather than producers are capturing the margin from cheaper imports.

值得注意的是，超市的牛肉价格大致保持不变，这意味着是零售商而非生产者获取了廉价进口商品所带来的利润空间。

The damage extends well beyond the beef sector.

损害范围远远超出了牛肉产业。

A comprehensive study published last year revealed that the quantity of farmed exports to the European Union had plummeted by nearly half.

去年发表的一项全面研究显示，出口至欧洲联盟的农产品数量已骤降了将近一半。

Simultaneously, the value of those exports declined by thirty-five percent, while the variety of goods shipped fell by a third.

与此同时，那些出口商品的价值下降了百分之三十五，而运输货物的种类则减少了三分之一。

Analysis conducted by the National Farmers' Union further demonstrated that poultry exports dropped by thirty-eight percent, with beef, lamb, and dairy sectors all suffering double-digit percentage declines.

全国农民联合会进行的分析进一步证实，家禽出口量下降了百分之三十八，而牛肉、羊肉和乳制品部门均遭受了两位数的百分比降幅。

Not only have farmers borne the brunt of these trade disruptions, but consumers have also felt the sting.

农民们不仅承受了这些贸易中断的冲击，消费者也感受到了痛苦。

A 2023 study estimated that Brexit had already added seven billion pounds to food prices across the United Kingdom.

一项 2023 年的研究估计，英国脱欧已使整个联合王国的食品价格增加了 70 亿英镑。

Were the government to reconsider its trade policy framework, British agriculture might yet find a sustainable path forward.

倘若政府重新考虑其贸易政策框架，英国农业或许还能找到一条可持续发展的前行之路。

However, without intervention, the prospect of homegrown produce becoming an unaffordable luxury appears increasingly plausible.

然而，若无干预，本土农产品成为高不可攀的奢侈品的前景似乎显得愈发合乎情理。
