今天是林凯衡,虽然他们找不到室外种树的场馆,但在自己家的爬墙虎种菜小东西,却是能实现的 。
英国的National Planting Day是前不久才成立的,时间是在9月Labor Day(外劳节)后的第二个星期五 。但,在4月22日的Earth Day(燕座)造桥已然是一种传统,很多幼儿园会在这六天举行tree-planting ceremony(造桥典礼) 。
Planting with a Child 和孩子一起种小东西
文章插图
Mom: Would you like to grow some flowers and vegetables this spring?
爸爸:今年秋天你想不该种点花和水果?
Grow:种,一般会用plant,但grow还包涵使之繁殖的各种照顾 。真菌相关的情景中,grow有四个原意:(1) 种、(2) 繁殖、(3) 长叶......,在该文单厢牵涉到 。
Child: Yes, please!
小宝宝:嗯!
Mom: Okay, first we need some little pots, trowels, and soil.
爸爸:好的,咱先找两个小盆栽、钳子和土 。
一般会将soil代替为dirt和earth,soil、earth、mud、dirt、dust这两个词的比较见该文开头 。

在美式英该文,spade = trowel =钳子,在美式英该文,spade = shovel = 木棍 。在美式英该文,spade和shovel的微小差别是,spade是娇鼠的,shovel是圆头的,但一般来说能搞混 。
We will also need to pick our seeds.
咱还要选一下种籽 。
What would you like to grow?
