美國一男子種出近一噸重南瓜 打破世界記錄

A Rhode Island grower is first in the world to achieve a trifecta in the hobby of growing gargantuan foods: world records for largest pumpkin, longest long gourd and heaviest squash.

羅德島一名種植者成爲了世界上首位種植出三種龐然食物的人：分別創下了最大南瓜、最長葫蘆和最重南瓜的世界紀錄。

After previously breaking two records, Joe Jutras got his third when smashed the giant squash record with one that weighed more than a ton.

繼此前打破兩項記錄後，喬·朱塔斯於日前打破了第三項紀錄：他憑藉一個重達一噸多的南瓜，碾壓了之前的巨型南瓜記錄。

His green squash tipped the scales at 2,118 pounds (960 kilograms) during a weigh-in at Frerichs Farm in Warren.

在沃倫的弗雷裏克斯農場的一次稱重中，他的綠色南瓜重達2.118磅（960千克）。

His other titles came in 2006, when broke the record for longest gourd, with a 126.5-inch (3.21-meter) gourd, and in 2007, when he broke the record for largest pumpkin, with a fruit that weighed in at 1,689 pounds (766 kilograms).

此前他還贏得過其它頭銜：2006年，他憑藉126.5英尺（3.21米）長的葫蘆打破了最長葫蘆的記錄；2007年，他憑藉重達1689磅（766千克）的南瓜打破了最大南瓜的記錄。

"It feels great," Jutras said. "It's really been a goal of mine to try to achieve this."

朱塔斯稱：“這感覺太棒了。努力實現這一點，真的是我的一個目標。”

Jutras said his fruit is headed to New York City, where it will be on display this month at the New York Botanical Garden.

朱塔斯表示，他的南瓜將會被送往紐約市，於本月在紐約帕多瓦植物園對外展示。
