英语新闻视频:哥伦比亚举行西红柿狂欢之战(在线收听) |
TEXT: Around 18 tons of tomatoes and thousands of fruit-flinging enthusiasts make for a juicy fight. Sutamarchan in Colombia is the battle ground for the annual Tomatina festival where ripe tomatoes are the preferred weapon of the day. The sixth annual fest draws warriors from far afield. SOUNDBITE: Oliver Martin, Tourist, saying (Spanish) "I think it's crazy here. It's an event that never happens in France and I wanted to experience it here-- a tomato fight is once-in-a-lifetime and I am happy here." SOUNDBITE: Sam Gibson, Tourist, saying (English) "We arrived last night and this has just been absolutely crazy today." The sea of red pulp is in honor of Colombian farmers and it celebrates the end of fall in the southern hemisphere, and the end of a year of hard work. You may think that all these crushed tomatoes could have made a lot of red pasta sauce - but rest assured they were unfit for human consumption. Elly Park, Reuters. |
