【英音模仿秀】英国啤酒花种植业的衰败

模仿文本：Then recently I was driving past this very farm out of the blue and it was a bit of surprise to find the hop¹ yard I remembered was now a vineyard, producing a very dry white wine. The owners I knew had gone. The land had been split² up and the fields with their beautiful high posts and wires and hops³ had gone. Now I've never made an edition of the Food Programme before and I don't claim to be an expert in any way at all.

 

近日我不经意间开车经过这片农场，惊讶地发现旧时的那片啤酒花庄园已经变成了葡萄园，生产一种很干的（即不甜的）白葡萄酒。我认识的那位农场主已经不在了。土地被分开，田里那些高高的爬蔓架、拉枝绳、啤酒花都不在了。我以前从未做过《美食栏目》，也自认不是什么专家，(但这次经历勾起了我的好奇心，一心想知道这个风光的英国啤酒花到底怎么了)。
