三聚氰胺的英文【melamine】

最近中國毒牛奶事件震驚全世界,目前已有十一個國家禁止中國乳製品進口(CNN的報導Sep.23.2008)。毒奶事件中,一再被提到的「三聚氰胺」英文到底怎麼說呢 ?

三聚氰胺: melamine []

===========================
簡介:
Melamine is commonly used in coatings and laminates, wood adhesives, fabric coatings, ceiling tiles and flame retardants. Some Chinese dairy plants have added it to milk products to make it seem to have a higher protein level.

三聚氰胺通常用於塗料及薄板製作上,木材接著劑、建築塗料、天花板瓦片及阻燃劑。有些中國酪農廠將之加入乳製品中,使乳製品看似有較高的蛋白質含量。

===========================
例句:
African governments have stopped importing Chinese dairy products as the crisis which has seen more than 52,000 Chinese children poisoned by melamine-tainted goods spreads.

受三聚氰胺污染的商品:melamine-tainted goods
受到毒害:poisoned (有些報導用sickened,導致生病)

============================
看一下CNN的報導,順便聽一下melamine的發音吧。
