Kilos and kilos of courgettes(西葫芦), cucumbers, tomatoes and salad leaves are ripe(成熟的) and ready for picking on a small Welsh farm in the rural county of Powys.
在威尔士乡村波伊斯郡的一个小农场里,成公斤的西葫芦、黄瓜、西红柿和沙拉叶已经成熟,等待采摘。
The haul being harvested by Tilly Gomersall is not just impressive after a difficult growing season hit by a record string of heatwaves and drought across all of Wales and most of England, but all the more remarkable given that 18 months ago the site was uncultivated pasture.(蒂莉·戈默索尔收获的这批农产品不仅令人印象深刻——毕竟经历了威尔士全境和英格兰大部分地区创纪录的连续热浪和干旱导致的艰难生长季——而且考虑到18个月前这里还是未开垦的牧场,就更显得非凡。)

“Until now, I’ve just been turning the earth(翻地) with my own power,” Gomersall says. “We’ve got a two-wheel tractor, but you do have to heft(搬动) that around with your body quite a lot and we’re cultivating from pasture, so it’s really hard work.”
“直到现在,我一直靠自己的力气翻地,”戈默索尔说。“我们有一台两轮拖拉机,但你得经常用身体去搬动它,而且我们是在牧场上开垦,所以真的很辛苦。”
