美国一男子种出近一吨重南瓜 打破世界记录

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.

罗德岛一名种植者成为了世界上首位种植出三种庞然食物的人：分别创下了最大南瓜、最长葫芦和最重南瓜的世界纪录。

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

继此前打破两项记录后，乔·朱塔斯于日前打破了第三项纪录：他凭借一个重达一吨多的南瓜，碾压了之前的巨型南瓜记录。

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

在沃伦的弗雷里克斯农场的一次称重中，他的绿色南瓜重达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).

此前他还赢得过其它头衔：2006年，他凭借126.5英尺（3.21米）长的葫芦打破了最长葫芦的记录；2007年，他凭借重达1689磅（766千克）的南瓜打破了最大南瓜的记录。

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

朱塔斯称：“这感觉太棒了。努力实现这一点，真的是我的一个目标。”

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，他的南瓜将会被送往纽约市，于本月在纽约帕多瓦植物园对外展示。
