Rob: So Helen, you've been to a farm have you?
Helen: 是的，我去了農場，that's where I was recently. 這個農場還挺大的，有50多英畝呢 50 acres.
Rob: So did you have fun?
Helen: Yes, lots. We had a brilliant time there.
Rob: Hello, I'm Rob. Welcome to On the Town.
Helen: 大家好，我是 Helen. 歡迎收聽BBC 《都市掠影》節目。
Rob: So Helen, you went to a pick your own farm then. Tell me more about that.
Helen: Sure. Pick your own 是個什么樣的農場呢？這里的主人 Richard Witman 給我做了介紹。
Fruits and vegetables come in all shapes and sizes.
Insert:
Basically a place where we grow crops exclusively for people to come in and pick their own fruit. We don't pick any fruit for supermarkets or any other retailers. If you want our fruit you have to come here, pick it and then it's weighed when you leave the farm and you pay for the amount that you've picked.
Rob: So everything on the farm is grown exclusively for people to pick their own fruit. Exclusively here has the same meaning as only.
Helen: Exclusive 這個詞的意思是獨有的，唯一的。Pick your own 顧名思義，也就是自摘農場。 這里的水果或者是蔬菜是只供給人們親自到農場里摘的。
Rob: So the farm doesn't supply any supermarkets or any other retailers.
Helen: Retailer 零售商。農場也不給超市或者其他零售商提供蔬果產品。
Rob: People can come and pick whatever they like and pay for their pickings on the way out.
Helen: That's right. 我們在農場里摘了水果，先放籃子里。最后離開的時候在門口秤完分量一起給錢。
Rob: So what kind of fruits and vegetables can you pick at the farm?
Helen: That's what I asked Paul who was there with his family.

Helen: So what have you picked today?
Paul: So far we've got some raspberries and strawberries, we are off to get some blackcurrants, and I think there's some – I can't remember what – there's another fruit around, I think there's a fourth one, and there's not very much of them, so we've got to get to them quite quickly.
Helen: Paul 和他的家人摘了好幾種水果。
Rob: They picked some raspberries.
Helen: 木莓 raspberries, 玫瑰紅顏色的水果，小小一粒粒的，味道有點酸。

Rob: Also strawberries. My kids love strawberries.
Helen: Mine too. 草莓 strawberries.
Rob: Blackcurrants, these are quite delicate fruits.
Helen: I know what you mean. 黑加侖 blackcurrants, 黑乎乎的，營養可好了。
Rob: What's the fourth one?
Helen: Well, Paul couldn't remember the name, but I know he was also after blackberries 黑莓。摘的時候要當心，藤上刺蠻多的，比較扎手。
Rob: Apart from fruits, there are vegetables for picking as well. Here's Roger.

On the vegetable front, we do quite a range. At the moment, we would have green onions, beetroot, spinach, Swiss chard, sweetcorn, tomatoes.
Helen: 除了水果之外，在這里還有菜園。農場主 Roger 介紹了一些蔬菜品種。比如大蔥。

Helen: 甜菜根。
Rob: Beetroot. People like to use it in salads; it has a rich purple red colour.
Helen: 我在農場里還看到菠菜。
Rob: Spinach.
Helen: 玉米。
Rob: Sweetcorn.
Helen: 番茄。
Rob: Tomatoes.
Helen: 還有瑞士甜菜，有的時候也叫做牛皮菜。
Rob: That's Swiss chard. It's a very leafy vegetable, a bit like spinach, and its stalk can come in three colours, white, yellow or red.
Helen: Really, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. 在農場里大家都很積極的摘采著自己喜歡的水果和蔬菜，我問了他們對 pick your own 的看法是什么樣的。

Man 1: Just a day out with my family, to pick some fruit and enjoy the weather.
Man 2: It's lots more fun, you can wander around and get messy, especially if you've kids like I have, I have got a little two year old.
Rob: So most people come to have some fun with their family.

There are all sorts of interesting things on offer at the farm.
Rob: She really enjoyed it and also took some great photos.
Helen: Absolutely, 她摘了草莓，還拍了很多漂亮的特寫照片。
Rob: Did people mind the mud?
