A Rhode Island grower is first in the world to achieve a trifecta in the hobby of growing gargantuan foods: world records for largest pumpkin, longest long gourd and heaviest squash.
罗德岛一名种植者成了世界上首位种植出三种庞然食物的人:创下了最重南瓜、最长葫芦、和现在最重南瓜的世界纪录。
After previously breaking two records, Joe Jutras got his third during the weekend when smashed the giant squash record with one that weighed more than a ton. His green squash tipped the scales at 2,118 pounds (960 kilograms) during a weigh-in at Frerichs Farm in Warren on Saturday.
继此前打破两项记录后,乔.朱塔斯于周末打破了第三项纪录,他凭借重达一吨多的南瓜粉碎了巨型南瓜记录。周六,在沃伦弗雷里克斯农场的一次称重中,他的绿色南瓜约达2.118磅(960千克)。
His other titles came in 2006, when broke the record for longest gourd, with a 126.5-inch (3.21-meter) gourd, and in 2007, when he broke the record for largest pumpkin, with a fruit that weighed in at 1,689 pounds (766 kilograms).
他赢得了其它头衔,2006年,他凭借126.5英尺(3.21米)长的葫芦打破了最长葫芦的记录;2007年,他凭借重达1689磅(766千克)的南瓜打破了最大南瓜的记录。
"It feels great," Jutras said Monday. "It’s really been a goal of mine to try to achieve this."
“感觉太棒了,”朱塔斯周一说道。“努力实现这个目标真的已是我的一个目标。”
Jutras said his fruit is headed to New York City, where it will be on display this month at the New York Botanical Garden.
朱塔斯表示,他的南瓜将会被送往纽约市,于本月在纽约帕多瓦植物园被展示。
