  Almost all states in America have a state fair. They last for one, two or three weeks. The Indiana state fair is one of the largest and oldest state fairs in the United States. It is held every summer. It started in 1852. Its goals were to educate, share ideas, and present Indiana's best products. The cost of a single ticket to enter the fair was 20 cents.

  幾乎美國所有的州都有一個集市。它們會持續(xù)一周、兩周或三周。印第安納州的集市是美國規(guī)模最大,歷史最久的集市之一,每年夏天都會舉辦。它起源于1852年。它的目的是進行教育,分享創(chuàng)意,展示印第安納最好的商品。進入集市的門票是每張20美分。

  During the early 1930s, officials of the fair ruled that people could attend by paying with something other than money. For example, farmers brought a bag of grain in exchange for a ticket. With the passage of time, the fair has grown and changed a lot, but it is still one of the Indiana's most celebrated events.

  在20世紀(jì)30年代,集市的官員制定規(guī)則,除了金錢以外,人們可以支付其他東西以參加集會。例如,農(nóng)夫帶著一袋谷物來換取一張門票。隨著時間的推移,集會壯大了,改變頗多,但它始終是印第安納州最盛大的節(jié)日之一。

印第安納州集市

  People from all over Indiana and from many other states attend the fair. They can do many things at the fair. They can watch the judging of the priced cows, pigs and other animals. They can see sheep getting their wool cut and they can learn how that wool is made into clothing. They can watch cows giving birth. In fact, people can learn about animals they would never see except at the fair.

  來自于印第安納州的人們以及許多從其他州慕名而來的人都參加了這個盛會。他們可以觀看如何對明碼標(biāo)價的奶牛、豬和其他動物進行辨別。它們可以觀看綿羊被剃毛,了解怎樣用羊毛來制作服裝。他們可以觀察母牛是如何產(chǎn)仔的。事實上,人們可以見識一些除了在集市上,在其他地方根本見不到的動物。

  The fair provides a chance for the farming community to show its skills and farm products. For example, visitors might see the world's largest apple, or the tallest sunflower plant. Today, children and adults at the fair can play new computer games, or attend more traditional games of skill. They can watch performances put on by famous entertainers.

  集市為農(nóng)場提供了機會,以展示它們的技藝和產(chǎn)品。例如,參觀者或許可以看到世界上最大的蘋果或是最高的向日葵。今天,參加集市的兒童和承認可以嘗試新的電腦游戲,或是更為傳統(tǒng)的技藝比賽。他們可以觀看著名表演家的演出。

  Experts say such fairs are important, because people need to remember that they are connected to the earth and its products and they depend on animals for many things.

  專家稱這種機會很重要,因為人們需要記住他們和地球以及地球上的產(chǎn)物是緊密聯(lián)系在一起的,他們從動物那兒獲取了許多。
