第一段
1 .Presenter: This evening we’re delighted to welcome Dan Beagle, who’s just written a book on looking for and finding food in the wild.
主持人:今晚我们非常高兴邀请到丹·比格尔,他刚刚写了一本关于在野外寻找和采集食物的书。
2 .He’s going to tell us everything we need to know about picking wild mushrooms.
他将告诉我们关于采摘野生蘑菇的一切需要知道的信息。
3 .Dan: Thank you very much. Well, I need to start by talking about safety.
丹:非常感谢。好的,我需要从讲述安全方面开始。
4 .You really need to know what you’re doing because some mushrooms are extremely poisonous.
你真的需要知道你在做什么,因为有些蘑菇是极其有毒的。
5 .Having said that, once you know what to look for, it’s really worth doing for the amazing variety of mushrooms available – which you can’t get in the shops.
话虽如此,一旦你知道该寻找什么,采摘野生蘑菇是非常值得的,因为市场上买不到这种惊人的多样性。
6 .But of course, you have to be very careful and that’s why I always say you should never consume mushrooms picked by friends or neighbours – always remember that some poisonous mushrooms look very similar to edible ones and it’s easy for people to get confused.
但是当然,你必须非常小心,这就是为什么我总是说你不应该食用朋友或邻居采摘的蘑菇——要记住,一些有毒蘑菇看起来非常类似可食用的蘑菇,人们很容易混淆。
7 .The other thing to avoid is mushrooms growing beside busy roads for obvious reasons. But nothing beats the taste of freshly picked mushrooms – don’t forget that the ones in the shops are often several days old and past their best.
另外一个要避免的是在繁忙的道路旁边生长的蘑菇,原因是显而易见的。但是没有什么比新鲜采摘的蘑菇的味道更好——别忘了商店里的蘑菇通常已经过了几天,品质已经不好了。
8 .There are certain ideas about wild mushrooms that it’s important to be aware of.
关于野生蘑菇,有一些重要的观念需要了解。
9 .Don’t listen to people who tell you that it’s only OK to eat mushrooms that are pale or dull – this is completely untrue.
不要听信那些告诉你只能食用颜色苍白或暗淡的蘑菇的人——这是完全不正确的。
10 .Some edible mushrooms are bright red, for example.
例如,有些可食用蘑菇是鲜红色的。
11 .Personally, I prefer mushrooms cooked but it won’t do you any harm to eat them uncooked in salads – it’s not necessary to peel them.
就个人而言,我更喜欢煮熟的蘑菇,但吃生蘑菇放在沙拉中也不会对你造成伤害——不需要削皮。
12 .Another thing you should remember is that you can’t tell if a mushroom is safe to eat by its smell – some of the most deadly mushrooms have no smell and taste quite nice, apparently.
另一个要记住的是,你不能通过蘑菇的气味来判断它是否安全食用——一些最致命的蘑菇没有气味,味道相当好,显然很容易让人误判。
13 .Finally, just because deer or squirrels eat a particular mushroom doesn’t mean that you can.
最后,仅仅因为鹿或松鼠吃了一种特定的蘑菇并不意味着你也可以吃。
第二段
1 .Of course, mushroom picking is associated with the countryside but if you haven’t got a car, your local park can be a great place to start.
当然,采摘蘑菇与乡村有关,但如果你没有车,你当地的公园也是一个很好的开始地点。
2 .There are usually a range of habitats where mushrooms grow, such as playing fields and wooded areas.
通常有各种蘑菇生长的栖息地,如运动场和林地。
3 .But you need to be there first thing in the morning, as there’s likely be a lot of competition – not just from people but wildlife too.
但你需要早上第一时间去,因为很可能会有很多竞争——不仅来自人类,还有野生动物。
4 .The deer often get the best mushrooms in my local park.
鹿经常在我当地的公园里得到最好的蘑菇。
5 .If you’re a complete beginner, I wouldn’t recommend going alone or relying on photos in a book, even the one I’ve written!
如果你是完全的新手,我不建议独自去或仅依靠书中的照片,即使是我写的这本书!
6 .There are some really good phone apps for identifying mushrooms, but you can’t always rely on getting a good signal in the middle of a wood.
有一些非常好的手机应用可以识别蘑菇,但你不能总是指望在树林中获得良好的信号。
7 .If possible, you should go with a group led by an expert – you’ll stay safe and learn a lot that way.
如果可能的话,你应该和一个专家领导的团队一起去——这样你会保持安全,并学到很多知识。
8 .Conservation is a really important consideration and you must follow a few basic rules.
保护是一个非常重要的考虑因素,你必须遵守一些基本规则。
9 .You should never pick all the mushrooms in one area – collect only enough for your own needs.
你永远不应该在一个区域里采摘所有的蘑菇——只采集自己需要的数量。
10 .Be very careful that you don’t trample on young mushrooms or other plants.
非常小心,不要踩到幼小的蘑菇或其他植物。
11 .And make sure you don’t pick any mushrooms that are endangered and protected by law.
确保你不采摘任何受法律保护的濒危蘑菇。
12 .There’s been a decline in some varieties of wild mushrooms in this part of the country.
在这个地区,某些野生蘑菇的品种数量有所下降。
13 .Restaurants are becoming more interested in locally sourced food like wild mushrooms, but the biggest problem is that so many new houses have been built in this area in the last ten years.
餐厅对像野生蘑菇这样的本地食材越来越感兴趣,但最大的问题是过去十年里在这个地区建造了太多的新房子。
14 .And more water is being taken from rivers and reservoirs because of this, and mushroom habitats have been destroyed.
由于这个原因,越来越多的水被从河流和水库中取走,蘑菇的生长环境也被破坏了。
15 .Anyway, a word of advice on storing mushrooms.
不管怎样,关于存放蘑菇的建议。
16 .Collect them in a brown paper bag and as soon as you get home, put them in the fridge.
用棕色纸袋收集它们,一到家就放进冰箱。
17 .They’ll be fine for a couple of days, but it’s best to cook them as soon as possible – after washing them really carefully first, of course.
它们可以保存几天,但最好尽快烹饪——当然,首先要仔细清洗。
18 .So everybody knows what a mushroom tastes like, right?
所以大家都知道蘑菇的味道,对吧?
19 .Well, you’ll be surprised by the huge variety of wild mushrooms there are.
嗯,你会对野生蘑菇的巨大品种多样性感到惊讶。
20 .Be adventurous! They’re great in so many dishes – stir fries, risottos, pasta.
大胆尝试吧!它们在很多菜肴中都很好——炒菜、烩饭、意大利面等。
21 .But just be aware that some people can react badly to certain varieties so it’s a good idea not to eat huge quantities to begin with.
但要意识到某些人可能对特定品种产生不良反应,所以最好开始时不要吃太多。
22 .OK, so now I’m going to show you …
好的,现在我要向大家展示……
