Conversation 2
对话二
W: This week's program Up Your Street takes you to Harrogate, a small town in Yorkshire. Harrogate became a fashionable resort during Victorian times, when people came to take a bath in the mineral waters.
W: 这次的《Up Your Street》节目将带你去哈罗盖特，约克郡的一个小城镇。哈罗盖特在维多利亚时期是时髦的旅游地，那时人们来此在矿物水中泡温泉。
M:Today, few people come to visit the town for its mineral waters. Instead, Harrogate has become a popular town for people to retire to. Its clean air, attractive parks, and the absence of any industry, make this an ideal spot for people looking for a quiet life. Now, to tell us more about Harrogate, I have with me Tom Percival, President of the Chamber of Commerce.
M:当下已经很少有人去那里泡温泉了。相反，哈罗盖特成了受欢迎的养老地。那里空气清新、公园美丽、没有工厂，这使它成了人们寻找安静生活的理想地点。现在，我们请来了商会主席汤姆·珀西瓦尔来告诉我们更多哈罗盖特的情况。
W:Tom, one of the things visitor notices about Harrogate is the large area of open park land right down into the middle of the town. Can you tell us more about it?
W:汤姆，参观者注意到哈罗盖特有一个大型的开放公园直到镇中心，你能跟我们说说这个吗？
M: Yes, certainly. The area is called the Stray.
M:当然，这地方叫做“走散者”
W: Why the Stray?
W: 为什么叫“走散者”？
M: It's called that because in the old days, people let their cattles stray on the area, which was common land.
M: 因为在过去，人们在这里放牧牛群，这里是公共用地。
W: Oh, I see.
W: 我明白了。
M: Then, we've changes in farming and in land ownership. The Stray became part of the land owned by Harrogate.
M: 之后，我们的农业和土地所有权发生了改变。这片用地变成了哈罗盖特所有。
W: And is it protected?
W: 它受保护吗？
M: Oh, yes, indeed. As a special law, no one can build anything on the stray. It's protected forever.
M: 是的。作为特殊法律，没人可以在这片土地建造任何东西，它永远受到保护。
W: So it will always be park land?
W: 所以那里永远都是公园了？
M: That's right. As you can see, some of the Stray is used for sports fields.
M: 没错，一部分土地用于运动场所。
W: I believe it looks lovely in the spring.
W: 我相信春天的时候这里一定很美。
M: Yes, it does. There're spring flowers on the old trees, and people visit the town just to see the flowers.
M: 的确。古树上开满了鲜花，人们为了赏花来到这里。
