1: The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest

　　1957: The respected BBC news announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC diplomatically replied, "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best."

　　1、 瑞士面条树

　　在1957年，由于暖冬天气和面条树虫大灭亡，使今年瑞士农民的意大利面条树获得了大丰收。伴随这条新闻还配有一些画面，我们看到瑞士农民正在从树上摘意大利面。于是BBC接到了数百个咨询电话，人们想知道他们如何才能在自家也种上面条树。对这件事情BBC用很官方的态度进行了回应，“把一枝面条树干插到一听番茄酱中，接下来就是抱着希望等待它丰收啦。”
