For the past 60 years, this Florida couple have been celebrating their anniversary by eating a piece out of their wedding cake – not a replica, the original one! 过去60年里，这对来自佛罗里达的夫妇每年的结婚纪念日都要吃一块他们的婚礼蛋糕—不是复制品，而是货真价实的当年剩下的婚礼蛋糕！ Ann and Ken Fredericks were married on 19 August, 1955 and Ann’s grandmother had baked a three-layer fruitcake for the occasion. The top layer of that cake, baked six decades ago, still exists in a metal Maxwell Coffee House can. “Every year, we unwrap it, pour brandy over it – because you need to moisten it – and we break off a piece,” Ann said. 安（Ann）和肯•弗雷德里克斯（Ken Fredericks）于1955年8月19日结为连理，当年安的奶奶为了庆祝这一喜事亲自烤了三层的水果蛋糕。这款蛋糕最上面那层现在已经60多“高龄”，但仍然保存在一个麦斯威尔金属咖啡罐里。安说：“每年，我们都打开包装，在蛋糕上面倒满白兰地（因为你得把蛋糕润湿一点），然后掰下来一小块。” “Everybody just looks at us with amazed looks when they hear about it,” she added. “Our children are appalled that we would be eating something that’s 60 years old. But believe me, it’s quite tasty, as long as it’s got enough brandy on it. And it’s never made us sick.” “每个听到这件事的人都会惊讶地看我们，”她补充道。“我们的孩子们对于我们会吃60年前烤的蛋糕的事也是震惊万分。但相信我，蛋糕的味道相当不错，当然前提是你要倒足够多的白兰地。我们也从没因为吃这个身体不舒服。” |
