【听力练习】Innovative Dating 答案

长周末玩的太多了,答案来晚了!抱歉!

 

 

原文给的是spouting produce, 但我也觉得应该是sprouting produce, 还有就是 every awkward and futile. 原文丢了futile.

When you hear the term weed dating, you picture, perhaps, two giggling lovebirds plowing through a bag of Doritos in front of late night TV. But that is not at all what weed dating organizers at Tunbridge Hill Farm in Vermont are up to. Weed dating is a variation on speed dating where people pair up in bars for a few minutes and then move on to the next table. Weed dating takes place on farms among rows of spouting produce. Participants weed a row with a potential romantic interest, then at the sound of a goat's bell, move on to another row and another partner.

Everyone wears a tag bearing her name, along with the name of a favorite fruit or vegetable, explained organizer Sarah Kale Heusner. It isn't only about love and dating, she said, indicating that weed dating will prove to be every bit as awkward as its speedy city cousin. The focus is on finding people who share the same interests and values.


And it might be pointed out here, the host's fields get weeded. Eager weed dater Ben Wolfe of North Tunbridge allows that, it says something about people that they'd like to do something like this. Probably nothing a good conversation wouldn't overcome, and you never know what will happen on a farm where second date entertainment could include detasseling corn or even checking one another for ticks.

我也这样觉得,而且这个plow在这里的用法我不知道,所以等于没有了上下文,纯靠音了。 -非文学青年- 给 非文学青年 发送悄悄话 非文学青年 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 09/06/2011 postreply 21:06:19
