Growing vegetables
- Are you interested in growing vegetables and fruits?
参考答案
Yeah, I'd love to but I'm rubbish at it! Tried growing tomatoes on my windowsill last summer - they all died within weeks. My nan's brilliant at it though, her garden's like a proper allotment. Maybe when I've got more space than just a tiny flat, I'll give it another go. For now, I just buy from Sainsbury's!
我的答案
其实我挺感兴趣的，但我一直没时间做。小学科学课种过豆芽，感觉很有意思。
I’m quite interested in it, but I’ve never really had the time or space to try. I still remember growing bean sprouts in primary school — it was such a simple activity, yet really fascinating to watch them sprout day by day.
- Is growing vegetables popular in your country?
- gardening 指 种植花草、蔬菜、果树等的一种兴趣或活动，含义更广、更自然地道。
- planting 通常只是一个具体动作，表示“种植（某物）”，语义更狭窄。
- be drawn to sth 被…吸引
- yard noun （住宅旁或周围的）园圃，花园，果园，菜园
- fresh produce
参考答案
It's getting more popular, especially since lockdown. Loads of people got into it when they had nothing else to do! Allotments have massive waiting lists now - my mate's been waiting two years for one. Even people with tiny gardens are growing potatoes in bags and herbs on windowsills. Very trendy now, isn't it?
我的答案
其实挺popular的，有一句网络热句，说中国人有一种种菜基因，意思是中国人很喜欢种菜。
Yes, it’s quite popular. There’s even a saying online that Chinese people have a sort of “gardening gene,” which means we’re naturally drawn to growing things. In many neighbourhoods, you can still see people turning small patches of land into vegetable gardens. It’s not just about getting fresh produce — it’s also a way to relax and feel closer to nature.
为什么是gardening gene而不是planting？[ChatGPT解释]
所以母语者不会说 “a planting gene”，因为那听起来像“一个负责种植动作的基因”，而不是“天生喜欢种东西的倾向”。
而 “gardening gene” 听起来更自然、比喻性更强，像在说“我们天生热爱园艺”。
produce [U] things that have been made or grown, especially things connected with farming 产品；（尤指）农产品
- Do many people grow vegetables in your city?
- high-rise buildings 高层建筑（通常指10层以上的楼房）
- villa /ˈvɪlə/ 别墅
- balcony garden 阳台花园
参考答案
Not as many as you'd think, being London and all. Most of us live in flats with no gardens. But there are community gardens popping up everywhere, and some people guerrilla garden on roundabouts! My neighbour grows chilies on his balcony. The council's started urban farming projects too, which is quite cool actually.
我的答案
我认为现在没有以前多，因为以前农民比较多。但现在随着工业化的发展，农民不多了，大家都住在楼房里面，没有机会可以自己种蔬菜。除非家住在别墅。
Not really, at least not as many as before. In the past, lots of people were farmers or lived in rural areas, but now most of us live in high-rise buildings with no gardens/yards. Unless you have a villa or a balcony garden, it’s pretty hard to grow your own vegetables in the city.
- Do you think it's easy to grow vegetables?
参考答案
Depends what you're growing really. Herbs and salad leaves are dead easy - even I can manage those! But proper veg like carrots or courgettes? That's another story. You need decent soil, the right weather, and patience. Plus slugs eat everything! My attempts usually end in disaster, so I'd say it's harder than it looks.
我的答案
我觉得没有那么容易，也可能没有我想象中的那么难。需要适宜的水、温度、土壤湿度等，蔬菜才可以成活吧。
I wouldn’t say it’s easy. It really depends on what you’re trying to grow — some plants are quite delicate. You need the right amount of sunlight, water, and patience. I think it’s harder than people expect, especially if you live in a city.
- Should schools teach students how to grow vegetables?
参考答案
Absolutely! It's brilliant for kids - gets them outside, teaches them where food comes from. My nephew's primary school has a little vegetable patch and he loves it. Plus it might help with the obesity crisis if kids actually understood nutrition properly. Better than just sitting in classrooms all day, and they can eat what they grow!
我的答案
Yes, absolutely — schools should teach children where food actually comes from and help them appreciate nature. Hands-on gardening lessons give kids practical skills, a better understanding of nutrition, and a sense of responsibility. When I was in primary school we grew bean sprouts in class, and it was really rewarding to see them grow and then taste what we’d produced. So yeah, I think more schools should include that in their curriculum.
