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为了世界上首位种植出三种庞然食物的人:分别创下了最大南瓜、最长葫芦和最重南瓜的世界纪录。
After previously breaking two records, Joe Jutras got his third when smashed the giant squash record with one that weighed more than a ton.
继此前打破两项记录后,乔·朱塔斯于日前打破了第三项纪录:他凭借一个重达一吨多的南瓜,碾压了之前的巨型南瓜记录。
His green squash tipped the scales at 2,118 pounds (960 kilograms) during a weigh-in at Frerichs Farm in Warren.
在沃伦的弗雷里克斯农场的一次称重中,他的绿色南瓜重达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).
此前他还赢得过其它头衔: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. "It's really been a goal of mine to try to achieve this."
朱塔斯称:“这感觉太棒了。努力实现这一点,真的是我的一个目标。”
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对外展示。
