8-1. Chickens slaughtered in the United States, claim officials in Brussels, are not fit to grace European tables.
译文布鲁塞尔的官员说,在美国屠宰的鸡不适于装点欧洲的餐桌。
讲解slaughtered in the United States为过去分词短语,作定语,修饰chickens。此句也可以写成Officials in Brussels say that chickens slaughtered in the United States are not fit to grace European tables. 原文的写法是为了凸显chickens slaughtered in the United States。本句和下句的写法是新闻英语中的常见写法。

grace:给……增光;使……有荣耀(to make a place or an object look more attractive),
例如: a meal that is fit to grace any table 上得了任何台面的一餐饭
