《科芬园广场与市场》

which is in Covent Garden,
千万不要把
not to get mixed up
新老科芬园搞混淆了
between the New Covent Garden and the Old Covent Garden.
正是由于这些人的存在

我的高祖母
My late great-great-grandmother,

柯芬园深埋在我的血液里
Covent Garden is in my blood
这里感觉就像我的家一样
and I just feel like it's my home.
就像在家里一样
It's like being home.
我可以感受到
I can feel the atmosphere
古时候的氛围
of how it must have been in the old days.
那时这里一定又脏又臭又繁忙
It must have been dirty, smelly, busy
但肯定到处是快活的人
but absolutely full of people that were just alive.
真正的快活
Really, really alive in the mornings,
大清早就开始叫卖♥♥
and shouting and selling
人们讨价还价
and, you know, trying to barter
这一切
and just the whole thing
都充满着魔力
must have been absolutely magical, really.
