『图说世界』美国农民怎么玩 盘点十大美国“庙会”

For two centuries, farmers and fun seekers have celebrated county fairs with carnival games, livestock shows and local food. Next year marks the 200th anniversary of the nation’s first agricultural fair, which was in Pittsfield, Mass. Although fairs have added some new twists since then, they’re little changed.
两个世纪以来，农夫和找乐的人们通过狂欢节游戏，家畜展览和当地美食来举办庆祝活动，“庙会”。明年标志着马萨诸塞州的皮兹菲尔德农业节的第200周年纪念。尽管各种集市添加了一些新的项目，但是总体来说变动不大。（来源）
