From VOA Learning English, this is the Health & Lifestyle report.
這是來(lái)自美國(guó)之音慢速英語(yǔ)的健康與生活方式報(bào)道。
 
During the winter holiday season, several plants are often the stars of the show. So, depending on where you live in the world, you might see them at this time of year.
在寒假期間,有幾種植物經(jīng)常成為節(jié)目中的明星。因此,根據(jù)您在世界上的居住地,您可能會(huì)在每年的這個(gè)時(shí)候看到它們。
 
Poinsettias
一品紅
 
The most common holiday plant is probably poinsettia. The plant is native to countries in Central and South America. Even if they do not grow in your area, you may see them in holiday movies and television shows from the United States.
最常見(jiàn)的節(jié)日植物可能是一品紅。該植物原產(chǎn)于中美洲和南美洲的國(guó)家。即使它們不在您所在的地區(qū)種植,您也可以在美國(guó)的假日電影和電視節(jié)目中看到它們。
 
With their bright red leaves, they add color to any holiday decorations. Many people buy them for the holidays, but then throw them away afterward. But you can actually keep them around a little longer.
它們鮮紅的葉子為任何節(jié)日裝飾增添了色彩。許多人在假期購(gòu)買(mǎi)它們,但之后又將它們?nèi)拥?。但?shí)際上您可以將它們保留更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間。
 
When you first bring them home, try to protect the plants from cold air. If you live in a cold climate, consider warming the car before transporting them. Once home, you should keep them away from cold doorways or windows. Place them where daytime temperatures are between 18-23 degrees Celsius.
當(dāng)你第一次把它們帶回家時(shí),盡量保護(hù)植物免受冷空氣的侵害。如果您生活在寒冷的氣候中,請(qǐng)考慮在運(yùn)輸前將汽車(chē)加熱?;氐郊液?,您應(yīng)該讓它們遠(yuǎn)離寒冷的門(mén)口或窗戶(hù)。將它們放置在白天溫度在 18-23 攝氏度之間的地方。
 
Water the whole container whenever the surface turns dry. But the plant itself should never sit in water. Make sure water can escape from the bottom.
只要表面變干,就給整個(gè)容器澆水。但植物本身不應(yīng)該坐在水中。確保水可以從底部流出。
 
Paperwhites
白紙
 
The paperwhite plant is in the daffodil family. The bulbs of paperwhites are usually kept at low temperatures. So, they can be planted in cold weather and produce flowers in a month to six weeks. The flowers have an extremely sweet smell. And some people may not like that.
paperwhite 植物屬于水仙花科。paperwhites的燈泡通常保持在低溫下。因此,它們可以在寒冷的天氣中種植并在一個(gè)月到六周內(nèi)開(kāi)花。這些花有一種極其甜美的氣味。有些人可能不喜歡那樣。
 
While you can grow these bulbs by setting them in a small amount of water, it is best to plant them in a shallow container of soil. They do not need much water and like lots of light.
雖然您可以通過(guò)將它們放在少量水中來(lái)種植這些球莖,但最好將它們種植在一個(gè)淺的土壤容器中。他們不需要太多的水,喜歡充足的光線。
 
Christmas trees
圣誕樹(shù)
 
Small pine trees are often used as Christmas trees. Most people use cut trees and turn them into wood chips after the holidays.
小松樹(shù)常被用作圣誕樹(shù)。大多數(shù)人在假期后使用砍伐的樹(shù)木并將它們變成木屑。
 
Some Americans like to get a live tree so they can plant it after the holidays. If you want to do that, make sure you water the tree regularly and are careful with lights and ornaments.
一些美國(guó)人喜歡得到一棵活樹(shù),這樣他們就可以在假期后種植它。如果你想這樣做,請(qǐng)確保定期給樹(shù)澆水,并注意燈光和裝飾品。
 
Amaryllis
阿瑪麗利斯
 
An amaryllis plant is the easiest to grow and the showiest to see. They produce the largest flowers you are ever likely to grow.
阿瑪麗利斯植物是最容易種植的,也是最引人注目的。它們能開(kāi)出你可能種過(guò)的最大的花。
 
They are usually sold together with containers and soil. All you need to do is plant it with one-third of the top of the bulb above the soil line.
它們通常與容器和土壤一起出售。您需要做的就是將球莖頂部的三分之一放在土壤線以上。
 
Keep the plant growing through summer. Then put yours into a cool, dark place so it goes dormant. Then bring it out again to flower for the next holiday season.
讓植物在整個(gè)夏天都在生長(zhǎng)。然后把你的放在陰涼、黑暗的地方,讓它休眠。然后再把它拿出來(lái)為下一個(gè)假期開(kāi)花。
 
Christmas cactus
圣誕仙人掌
 
A Christmas cactus is another great plant that flowers during the mid-winter holidays. If you do not celebrate Christmas, you can call it by its scientific name -- Schlumbergera.
圣誕仙人掌是另一種在仲冬假期開(kāi)花的好植物。如果你不慶祝圣誕節(jié),你可以用它的學(xué)名來(lái)稱(chēng)呼它——Schlumbergera。
 
Cactuses will flower each year if exposed to shortening days. They live for many years. Some families pass them on from one generation to the next. It is also common for families to split its root and share the plant.
如果日照時(shí)間縮短,仙人掌每年都會(huì)開(kāi)花。他們活了很多年。有些家庭將它們代代相傳。家庭分裂它的根并分享植物也很常見(jiàn)。
 
Christmas cactuses do best in bright light. When it is flowering, the cactus should only be watered when the soil is dry. Too much water and the flowers will drop off. So, this is one of those times when too dry is better than too wet.
圣誕仙人掌在明亮的光線下生長(zhǎng)最好。開(kāi)花時(shí),仙人掌只應(yīng)在土壤干燥時(shí)澆水。水太多,花會(huì)掉落。所以,這是太干總比太濕好的時(shí)代之一。
 
For the rest of the year, only add water when the surface soil dries out. Next autumn, give it natural light and keep it cool – for example, up against a window. It will flower again.
在今年剩下的時(shí)間里,只有在表層土壤變干時(shí)才加水。明年秋天,給它自然光并保持涼爽——例如,靠著窗戶(hù)。它會(huì)再次開(kāi)花。
 
Whether you celebrate the holidays or not, these plants can be a colorful addition to your home during the cold weather season.
無(wú)論您是否慶祝節(jié)日,這些植物都可以在寒冷的季節(jié)為您的家增添色彩。
