Jean: Yes Finn, I need my welly boots today 今天我确实是特意穿了雨靴，因为我们现在所在的地方是相当的泥泞it’s muddy.

Finn: Yes, it is muddy, isn’t it? Today on On The Town, you might not believe it, but we’re in the centre of London.

Jean: Yes, I can see modern office buildings and flats, there are buses driving past…

Finn: But as you can hear we’re also in a farm!

Jean: Yes, 在我们今天On the Town节目当中，我们的采访地点就是一座城市中的农庄。

Finn: A city farm. What’s that? It’s a farm in a city. There are about 60 city farms in the UK, 20 in London, and this one is in Hackney, which is in East London. The farm manager is called Chris, and he’s going to tell us which animals they keep.

Jean: 那就让我们来听听这所农庄的经理Chris给我们做的介绍吧。

The farm’s been here 20 years and some local people had an idea to have farm in London so children could see farm animals… and then outside where we are now is actually in the garden and we grow vegetables. We have lots of volunteers growing vegetables and getting involved in growing things and learning about where food comes from…… and then we have a nice quiet area where people can come and sit with their children, so they can sit down and just enjoy being outside in a safe environment.
