With 1.4 billion people ploughing through 80 billion pairs of throwaway chopsticks each year, China has admitted its forests can no longer provide enough cutlery for its dinner tables.每年，14亿的中国人会使用到800亿双一次性筷子，中国也承认因为本国的森林资源已经无法为人们的餐桌提供足够的筷子了。
"We must change our consumption habits and encourage people to carry their own tableware," said Bo Guangxin, the chairman of Jilin Forestry Industry Group, to his fellow delegates at the National People's Congress.吉林森林工业集团的董事长柏广新日前在两会期间建议：“我们应该改变消费习惯，鼓励人们出门吃饭时也自己带餐具。”
Pointing out that only 4,000 chopsticks can be carved from a 20-year-old tree, he even went so far as to suggest that restaurants offered metal knives and forks instead. If Mr Bo's suggestion is widely adopted, it would be a dark moment in the chopstick's 4,000-year history.他指出，一颗20年树龄的树木只能生产出4000双筷子。他甚至还建议，餐馆应该直接使用金属制的刀叉代替筷子。如果柏广新的建议被广泛采用，中国4000多年的筷子历史可能就会遭遇“黑暗时刻”。
It was Da Yu, the founder of the Xia dynasty, who is said to have first used two sticks to eat his food in roughly 2100 BC.筷子的起源大约在公元前2100年，夏朝的开国之君大禹据说是第一个使用两只棍子来吃饭的人。
It was an invention born of urgency. In his rush to reach a flood zone, Da Yu did not want to wait for his meat in his wok to cool, instead seizing a pair of twigs and wolfing down his meal.筷子的诞生是因为时间紧迫，当时大禹赶着去治水，没时间等自己的食物凉下来，就直接拿起两根小细枝狼吞虎咽吃完了饭。
