名词解释：燕窝 ，就是燕子的窝。不过它不是普通燕子的窝，而是一种特殊的燕子一一金丝燕的窝。你知道“燕窝”英语怎么说吗？
Fines are being imposed on individuals attempting to bring bird's nest, a traditional delicacy, into the country as new regulations came into force on Thursday.
The delicacy, made from the saliva of a cave swift, has been added to the list of banned products, along with fresh fruit and vegetables.
Bird's nest is a popular gift in China, particularly in the south. However, only canned varieties are allowed past customs.
根据周四出台的新规定，个人携带燕窝入境将被处以罚款。
燕窝是中国的传统佳肴，由穴雨燕的唾液制成，它和新鲜水果及蔬菜一起被列入禁止入境物。
燕窝在中国是很受欢迎的礼品，尤其是在中国南方。但是根据新规定，只有罐装的燕窝才被允许携带通关。
【讲解】
“燕窝”的英文表达是bird's nest。燕窝是燕子做的巢，但这种燕子并不是我们常见的在屋檐下筑巢的家燕(swallow)，而是金丝燕(swiftlet)，金丝燕属雨燕科(swift)，金丝燕分泌出来的唾液(saliva)混合其他物质所筑成的巢穴是食用燕窝原材料。
