TED演讲:如何食用我们的地貌(2)

 　　And since we had that meeting three and a half years ago,  自从我们三年半前开展这儿会议以来

　　it's been a heck of a roller coaster.  真是过山车式的跳跃
　　We started with a seed swap 1, really simple stuff,  我们以种子交易开始，很简单的东西
　　and then we took an area of land, a strip on the side  然后我们采用了一片土地，在主干道的
　　of our main road, which was a dog toilet, basically,  一边，之前基本上是宠物厕所
　　and we turned it into a really lovely herb garden.  然后我们把它变成了一片可爱的植物花园
　　We took the corner of the car park in the station  我们用你们刚刚看到的汽车车站停车场边的角落的土地
　　that you saw, and we made vegetable beds  做成了菜畦
　　for everybody to share and pick from themselves.  让每个人可以分享和采摘植物
　　We went to the doctors. We've just had  我们去了诊所，我们刚刚在托德莫登建设了
　　a 6-million-pound health center built in Todmorden,  六百万英镑的医疗中心
　　and for some reason that I cannot comprehend,  某种程度上我不能理解
　　it has been surrounded by prickly plants.  已经被有刺的植物包围起来了
　　So we went to the doctors, said, "Would you mind us taking them up?"  我们去医生那时，说介意我们把他们拿起来吗?
　　They said, "Absolutely fine, provided you get planning permission  他们说: "没问题，假设你们计划许可
　　and you do it in Latin and you do it in triplicate,"  你们可以在拉丁美洲做，而且把他们翻三倍"
　　so we did--and now there are fruit trees  于是我们成功了--现在水果树
　　and bushes and herbs and vegetables  灌木丛，草本和蔬菜
　　around that doctor's surgery.  在医生诊所处生长茂盛
　　And there's been lots of other examples, like the corn  有很多很多这样的例子，像玉米
　　that was in front of the police station,  长在警察局门口
　　and the old people's home that we've planted it with food  和老人们的家里，这样我们就能种植
　　that they can pick and grow.  他们生长采摘
　　But it isn't just about growing,  但这并不仅仅只是生长
　　because we all are part of this jigsaw 2.  因为我们都是拼图玩具的一部分
　　It's about taking those artistic 3 people in your community  这是关于把社区里有艺术美感的人们带动起来
　　and doing some fabulous 4 designs in those raised beds  在培育的土壤床上做一些极好的设计
　　to explain to people what's growing there,  来向人们解释什么生长在这里
　　because there's so many people that don't really recognize  因为有相当多的人并没意识到
　　a vegetable unless it's in a bit of plastic  是蔬菜除非在顶部
　　with a bit of an instruction packet on the top.  有一小小的指示牌写明了
　　So we have some people who designed these things,  于是我们有很多人来设计这样的东西
　　"If it looks like this, please don't pick it, but if it looks like this,  “如果是长这样，请勿采摘.但如果是长这样
　　help yourself."  请随意"
　　This is about sharing and investing in kindness.  这是关于分享和善意的投资
　　And for those people that don't want to do either  同时，对那些不愿意做这些
　　of those things, maybe they can cook,  或那些事的人们，也许他们可以下厨
　　so we pick them seasonally 5 and then we go on the street,  所以我们季节性摘菜，然后上街
　　or in the pub, or in the church,  或进俱乐部，或在教堂
　　or wherever people are living their lives.  或人们生活的地方
　　This is about us going to the people and saying,  我们来到大家身边说
　　"We are all part of the local food jigsaw,  "我们是本地食物拼图的组成部分
　　we are all part of a solution."  我们都是解决方案的一部分"
　　And then, because we know we've got vegetable tourists  然后，因为我们知道我们已经有了蔬菜旅客
　　and we love them to bits and they're absolutely fantastic,  我们很乐意他们吃，让他们感觉相当奇妙
　　we thought, what could we do to give them an even better experience?  我们在想，我们能做什么才能给他们更好的体验?
