大家也許都知道西班牙的這個狂歡節 The Tomato Festival in Spain ,是的,它是西班牙一年一度的民間傳統節日,源自上世紀四十年代,每年8月的最後一個星期三在農產品市場的西班牙布尼奧爾鎮廣場舉行。
如果我問起美國的西雅圖番茄肉博節 ( The great Tomato Battle of Seattle ) ,大家聽說過嗎?
其實,The great Tomato Battle of Seattle 的肉博激烈程度絲毫也不亞於西班牙的 Tomato Festival 。
今年的西雅圖番茄肉博節剛剛結束於上周六的9月24日。
The great Tomato Battle of Seattle raged in Pioneer Square Saturday as more than 50,000 overly ripe pieces of the fruit were tossed by combatants until all that was left was pulp and juice. It was a smashing good time for most during the great Battle behind Pyramid Ale in Pioneer Square. 對當天參加在西雅圖市先鋒廣場的 「 番茄肉博節」 的人來說,不啻這是一場興奮、刺激又難忘的大戰役,五萬多新鮮熟透而且多汁的西紅柿在成千上萬的當地居民聚集的廣場上被奮力互相投擲,青春、歡樂、玉體、笑容全都沈浸、淹沒在紅色的西紅柿海洋之中。
Awesome! was the most-used phrase to describe the event Saturday. The blacktop is awash in red as the Tomato Battle of Seattle winds down. 太爽了!西雅圖番茄肉博戰結束后,漂亮的瀝青路面充斥滿了番茄的艷麗紅色,奮力肉博番茄大戰的姑娘們分外嬗媚嬌嬈・・・
