2022年扔面包大赛因太受欢迎而取消

Transcript

There's a hard biscuit in the U.K. called a Dorset knob, and people compete throwing biscuits across a field. The last contest in 2019 attracted 8,000 people — too much for the village to handle.

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. There's a type of biscuit in the U.K. called a Dorset knob, and once a year, the good people of Dorset get together to throw those biscuits across a field. It sounds awesome to me, and I am clearly not the only one who thinks so because the last Dorset knob throwing contest attracted around 8,000 people - too many for the small village to manage, so they're calling it off. The event organizer said she hopes they can do it again in the future, but people got to stop loving it so much. It's MORNING EDITION.

在英国有一种叫做Dorset knob的面包，人们争先恐后地把面包扔到地上。2019年的最后一场比赛吸引了8000人，这对该村来说太多了。

瑞秋·马丁，主持人：

早上好我是瑞秋·马丁。在英国有一种面包叫做Dorset knob，每年多塞特的好人聚在一起把面包扔到田野里。对我来说，这听起来太棒了，我显然不是唯一一个这么认为的人，因为上一次扔面包大赛吸引了大约8000人-太多了，这个小村庄无法管理，所以他们取消了比赛。活动组织者说，她希望他们将来能再这样做，但人们不再那么喜欢它了。这是早间版。
