When I was a boy growing up we had several gardens around our old house. The largest one of all was used just for growing potatoes. I can still remember those potato planting days. The whole family helped. 当我还是个小男孩的时候,家里的旧宅附近有好几个花园。最大的一个里面都用来种土豆。犹记得当年种土豆的日子,全家总动员。 After my Dad had tilled the soil, my Mom, brothers, and I went to work. It was my job to drop the little seed potatoes in the rows while my Mom dropped handfuls of fertilizer beside them. My brothers then covered them all with the freshly turned earth. 在爸爸松土之后,就轮到妈妈、哥哥弟弟们还有我上场干活了。我的工作是把种子一排一排的播种,妈妈在一旁给种子们施肥。最后其他兄弟给种子们盖上新翻的土。 |
