The white stuff blanketing a neighborhood wasn't snow. It was soybean husks

天降豆皮“雪”

Transcript¹

A Canadian woman found soybean husks on her car, sidewalk and street. A soy processing plant in Hamilton, Ontario, accidentally blew the husks into the air after a factory malfunction².

一名加拿大妇女在她的汽车、人行道和街道上发现了豆皮。安大略省汉密尔顿市的一家大豆加工厂在工厂发生故障后，意外地将外壳吹到了空气中。

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. If you live in the cold places, you probably know what it's like to brush the snow off your car. What's less common is brushing off soybean husks, which is exactly what one woman had to do when she found them not only on her car but also on the sidewalk and the street. A soy processing plant down the road from her accidentally blew them into the air after a factory malfunction. We should have a name for an event like that - maybe soy-lar (ph) eclipse? It's MORNING EDITION.

主持人RACHEL MARTIN：

早上好我是瑞秋·马丁。如果你住在寒冷的地方，你可能知道刷掉汽车上的雪是什么感觉。不太常见的是刷去豆皮，这正是一位女性在车上、人行道和街道上发现豆皮时所做的。一家大豆加工厂在工厂发生故障后，不小心将其吹到了空中。我们应该给这样的事件起个名字——也许是大豆月食？这是早间版。
