lesson 76
April Fool's Day
愚人节
First listen and then answer the question.
What was the joke?
'To end our special news bulletin,' said the voice of the television announcer, 'we're going over
to the macaroni fields of Calabria. Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years.
Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Riccardo Brabante, tell me that they have been
expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual. Here you can see two
workers
who,
between
them,
have
just
finished
cutting
three
cartloads
of
golden
brown
macaroni
stalks. The whole village has been working day and night
gathering and threshing this
year's crop
before the September rains. On the right, you can see Mrs. Brabante herself. She has been helping
her husband for thirty years now. Mrs. Brabante is talking to the manager of the local factory where
the
crop
is
processed.
This
last
scene
shows
you
what
will
happen
at
the
end
of
the
harvest:
the
famous
Calabrian
macaroni- eating
competition!
Signor
Fratelli,
the
present
champion,
has
won
it
every year since 1991. And that ends our special bulletin for today, Thursday, April lst. We're now
going back to the studio.'
