1·The problem for the world’s favourite fly is that it is reasonably clear to taxonomists that the genus Drosophila properly refers to a group of flies that do not include melanogaster.
对于这个臭名昭著的苍蝇的分类问题，分类学家们有理由相信Drosophila这个属类不应该包括melanogaster这个种类的苍蝇。
2·Drosophila fly (AOAC 955.46) Average of 10 or more fly eggs per 500 grams or 5 or more fly eggs and 1 or more maggots per 500 grams or 2 or more maggots per 500 grams.
果蝇(AOAC 955.46)：每500克含超过10个果蝇卵或5个果蝇卵+ 1个果蝇幼虫(也就是蛆啦蛆啦蛆啦)，或2个果蝇幼虫。
3·A tiny fly called Drosophila guttifera sports a distinctive pattern of 16 polka dots on its wings.
一种称为Drosophila guttifera的非常小的果蝇的翅膀上有着很明显的由16个圆点组成的花纹。
4·In addition to working out the molecular details of how the fly colors its wings, Carroll's group was also able to deduce the evolutionary history of wing coloring in Drosophila guttifera.
除了弄清楚详细的分子如何为翅膀着争，卡罗尔的研究小组还能够推断drosophila guttifera中翅膀色彩的进化史。
5·It was always my dream that the drosophila (fruit fly) adipose gene would turn out to be a model for controlling obesity and type 2 diabetes.
果蝇腺苷基因将成为防治肥胖和2型糖尿病的一个模型一直以来是我的梦想。
6·Because much of the genome of Drosophila is Shared with human beings, learning how nuclear organization is controlled in the fruit fly can apply to human disorders like birth defects and cancer.
因为果蝇和人类有很多基因是共同的，因此了解果蝇的细胞核调控有助于认识人类的疾病如先天性疾病，或癌症。
7·The Bloomington Fly Stock Center collects, maintains and distributes Drosophila melanogaster strains for research.
布鲁明顿果蝇库存中心收集、保存各类黑腹果蝇并进行分类，以供研究之用。
8·While the antics of Drosophila melanogaster, as the fruit fly is known in scientific circles, may seem irrelevant at first blush, they are anything but.
虽然这项滑稽的举措，但是在科学界果蝇是众所周知的，我们对它们十分熟悉。
