The Picnics of Jane Austen  简·奥斯汀小说中的野餐
 
 
John:  Whenever you’re feeling tired of the city, what do you do?
Oliver:  Go for a cycle ride?
John:  No.
Oliver:  Go for a holiday?
John:  No, nothing as expensive as that.
Oliver:  I can’t guess!
John:  Have you ever been on a picnic?
Oliver:  Of course I have, I love them. 您可能猜到了,没错,这就是我们今天节目的
话题,野餐。
John:  And not just any old picnics either.
Oliver:  Not just any old, 这个短语可以用在当你提到什么新的或者特别的东西的时候,
比方说,今天我们要谈到的野餐,不是一般的野餐 not any old picnic, 而是特别
的野餐,至于有什么特别的地方, John 会为解释给大家听! 
John:  Yes, we’re talking about some very special picnics which happened in
the past. Now, you might be familiar with some of the classic British
works of literature by Jane Austen.
Oliver:  Yes, I know them!
John:  Well, in them were many picnics, always in perfect weather, and
always in an idyllic location.
Oliver:  怡人的天气,以及田园牧歌般的地方。 Idyllic, 你在简奥斯汀小说里读到的野餐往
往都是盛大的活动 they were lavish. 
 
John:  OK. Well, we thought we should find out what went into these historic
picnics.
Oliver:  这个短语 what went in, 的意思就是组成部分,比如我们现在讲的是这样的野餐
是由哪些部分组成的, what they consisted of,  或者说, what went into
them.
John:  But let’s start with some history. When did the idea of picnics begin,
when did picnicking begin? We spoke to our expert, Dierdre Le Faye,
who’s a Jane Austen scholar.
 
Insert
 
The  idea of picnicking, I  think, is all part of  the English doggedly  trying  to enjoy
themselves despite the weather. It was a small way of having a holiday perhaps
because travel was still very very uncomfortable, so a picnic where you would go
perhaps eight miles out and eight miles back, and you’d do  that  in a day and  it
wouldn’t over-tax your horses – it was just some way of getting away from your
own little village or whatever. And I mean, even if you live in a dirty great stately
home, I expect you get pretty tired living in the same place day in day out, year
after year.  
 
Oliver:  So going on a picnic, or picnicking, was a way of having a small holiday
in Jane Austen’s time.
John:  Yes, these were day trips.
Oliver:  一日游, day trips, 短假期, small holidays. And why did they want to
take these short holidays John?
John:  It was a way of getting away from your small village, or if you lived in
a stately home, it was a means of escape.
Oliver:  As travel was difficult during the time of Jane Austen, people used to
go on picnics in order to escape from their small villages, 小村庄, and
stately homes, 大宅院。
John:  Yes, Dierdre said there, that people must have got pretty tired living in
the same place day in day out, year after year.
Oliver:  Day in day out 日日夜夜, year after year, 年复一年。 
John:  So, a picnic was a nice way of spending a day, and it wouldn't tire out
your horses, it wouldn’t make them tired! 
 
Oliver:  Of course, everyone during Jane Austen’s time travelled by horse, or
by coach and horses, 人们骑马或者坐马车旅行!
John:  We’ve been talking about picnics during the time of the classic British
writer Jane Austen. So far though, we haven’t talked about the type of
food that was taken on a picnic in one of Jane Austen’s novels.
Oliver:  Ah, yes, the most important bit, the type of food, 食物种类。在这种现在
看来有些过时的野餐里,他们都会吃些什么东西呢?
John:  What did they eat? Well, one of the things they ate was pigeon pie!
Oliver:  Pigeon 鸽子,在这里指的是斑鸠。用斑鸠肉做的馅饼, pigeon pie, 我自己对斑
鸠馅饼没什么感觉,但这可是简奥斯汀小说里的人物吃过的,让我们听听看这种斑
鸠馅饼是怎么做的!
John:  Yes, how did they make it, how did they make pigeon pie? We asked
Hetty Ellis, who is a food writer, to have a go at making pigeon pie.
Oliver:  让我们走进美食作家 Hetty Ellis 的厨房,听听她说怎么做这种馅饼。
 
Insert
 
I’m making  pigeon  pie.  I’ve never  cooked  pigeons before,  and  that  in  a way  is
quite  strange  because  pigeons  they  are  everywhere,  everywhere!  Not  the  kind
you want to eat in London, but wood pigeons are about – I don’t know – twenty
million in the country or something; they’re the equivalent – the flying equivalent
of rabbits before myxomatosis. And yet, here I am, I live in the countryside, and I
never  cook  them.  So  looking  at  this  has made me  go  out  and  I  went  to  the
butcher – he sometimes has them in the window – and he cut the breasts off the
carcasses, they are lovely little nuggets the breasts, they’re beautiful.
 
 
Oliver:  Doesn’t sound too bad! 说不定斑鸠馅饼味道也不错。Hetty 说那种斑鸠在英国
到处都是,they are everywhere. 差不多有两千万只斑鸠。 Twenty million
wood pigeons.
John:  Hetty said that pigeons are the flying equivalent of rabbits!
Oliver:  在英国,到处都是兔子,就像斑鸠一样。所以说斑鸠就像兔子, the equivalent,
或者说会飞的兔子。
John:  And pigeons are the flying equivalent of rabbits before myxomatosis!
Oliver:  What is myxomatosis John? 
 
John:  Now, that was a terrible disease that affected millions of rabbits in the
UK. Many died because of myxomatosis.
Oliver:  That’s sad. 这种黏液瘤, myxomatosis, 是一种在英国曾经杀死了大量兔子的
恐怖疾病。现在英国鸽子的数量就相当于黏液瘤爆发之前兔子在英国的数量。
John:  Hetty says that although pigeons are everywhere in the British
countryside, she never makes pigeon pie!
Oliver:  好的,接下来让我们看看做这种馅饼还需要什么其它的原料。 What are the
ingredients?
 
Insert
 
This is a very kind of packed pie this, because it’s got pigeons, it’s got hard boiled
eggs in it. Not quite sure about the hard boiled eggs, I’m putting them in because
they’re  in  the  recipe,  and  it’s  traditional,  but  I  think  there’s  a  slight  traumatic
memory  of  those  kind  of  rubbery  hard  things  in  the middle  of  ham  pies.  But
anyway,  as  well  as  in  that  pie  there’s  rump  steak.  I’m  going  to  sauté  some
shallots,  and  some mushrooms  in  butter.  They’re  going  to  go  in,  and  then  the
pigeon, and our lovely delicious gravy.  
 
Oliver:  Hey, John, there are a lot of ingredients in that pie! 接下来让我们一一为
大家介绍!  
John:  OK, Hetty said the pie was packed, it was full of ingredients. It had
hard boiled eggs in it.
Oliver:  水煮鸡蛋。
John:  And she said that she’d had a slight traumatic memory of those kind of
rubbery things in the middle of ham pies.
Oliver:  Yuk! 我知道了, Hetty 说对此,在她小的时候,她对这种煮鸡蛋有点儿恐怖记
忆, a slight traumatic memory, 她说这种鸡蛋吃起来像橡胶, rubbery!
John:  Also in the pie is rump steak.
Oliver:  牛臀部的牛排。
John:  And some shallots and mushrooms have to be sautéed in butter.
Oliver:  They have to be sautéed 煎炒。蘑菇, the mushrooms, and the shallots,
葱,需要轻微的煎一下。
John:  OK, what else went into one of these lovely picnics? We asked Dierdre
Le Faye again. Listen out for words like cold, portable, non-spillable,
cold meat, cold lamb, and bread rolls.   
 
Insert
 
For the food of course, it would have to be anything that was cold and portable,
and non-spillable; and  there  is  reference  to pigeon pies,  they’d  form part of  the
menu;  and  also  cold meat,  cold  lamb.  There wouldn't  have  been,  I  guess,  so
much  in  the way  of  vegetables,  fruit  probably,  seasonal  fruit,  but  I  imagine  it
would  have  been  mostly  meat,  eaten  with  various  kinds  of  bread  rolls  or
whatever.
 
Oliver:  水果 fruit, 和肉, meat, 感觉应该是这种野餐中的主角! 
John:  OK. These picnics sound delightful, don’t they? Pigeon pie, fruit, meat,
bread rolls, quite a simple range of things to eat, but quite filling!
Oliver:  这些东西都挺饱人的, they were filling!
John:  Indeed they were, and before we go, let’s look at some of the words
we’ve been using today. We’ve been talking about picnics and
picnicking.
Oliver:   野餐和去野餐。
John:  Jane Austen’s picnics took place in idyllic surroundings and in perfect
weather.
Oliver:  田园牧歌般的地方以及怡人的天气。
John:   We heard how they were lavish.
Oliver:  丰盛的,盛大的。
John:  We gave you the ingredients for pigeon pie.
Oliver:  斑鸠馅饼的组成成分,美味可口! 
John:  And if you remember Hetty said she would sauté some mushrooms and
shallots with the other ingredients for the pie.
Oliver:  她会炒些蔬菜, she would sauté them, 换个说法就是她会把他们稍微的煎一
下。 
John:  Our expert Dierdre said that picnics were a way for the British to
doggedly show how they enjoyed themselves.
Oliver:  他们非常固执的追求让自己快乐。
John:  We heard how many pigeons there are in Britain, there are millions,
just like the number of rabbits that there were before a terrible disease
wiped out so many of them. 
 
Oliver:  一种可怕的疾病几乎把英国的兔子灭绝了, they were wiped out.
John:  And the other part of one of these historic picnics, consisted of things
that were cold, portable, and non-spillable.
Oliver:  这些食物一般来讲都是凉的、轻便好拿的,还有就是不容易漏出汤汤水水的。
John:  Not so many vegetables, but lots of fruit.
Oliver:  有很多的水果,但是没有什么蔬菜。
John:  Well  that’s  it  for  now,  but  if  you want more  help with  your  English,
then log onto our website, which is: www.bbcchina.com.cn.

here, bye for now.
Oliver:  再见。

Now, here’s the pie – open the oven. It does smell wonderful, what does  it look
like? Let’s have a  look – oh,  that’s beautiful. That  is a  real  ‘hey presto’ dish – I
mean, if you put that on the table, I think you’d want there to be a bit of quiet.
