How many mango seeds did Jess use to make her dress?
文字稿
Hi, I'm Jess Collins and I'm from North Queensland in Australia, and I've made a dress out of Calypso mango seeds.
大家好，我是杰斯·柯林斯，來(lái)自澳大利亞昆士蘭北部，我用卡利普索芒果核做了一件連衣裙。
[TEXT ON SCREEN: Jess is 18 and grew up on a mango farm. She is frustrated that so much edible fruit goes to waste. 杰斯18歲，在芒果農(nóng)場(chǎng)長(zhǎng)大。這么多能吃的水果都浪費(fèi)了，讓她覺(jué)得很懊惱。]
Over 5,000 kilos of mangos each year that we just have to dump because they're not up to supermarket standards.
每年有超過(guò)5000公斤的芒果被我們丟棄，因?yàn)樗鼈兊馁|(zhì)量沒(méi)有達(dá)到超市的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
[A school design project gave Jess the idea to turn wasted mangoes into fashion. 學(xué)校的一個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)項(xiàng)目讓杰斯產(chǎn)生了把丟棄的芒果變成時(shí)尚的想法。]
I cut all the flesh off and then I took it over to Dad's pressure cleaner, and then I would get the rest of it so no bugs or insects would try and eat the fruit because there was nothing left on it. And then we dried them out, cut them in half and then I sewed them on.
我把果肉都切下來(lái)，用爸爸的高壓清洗器沖洗芒果核，把果肉都清理干凈，這樣就不會(huì)有蟲(chóng)子來(lái)吃了，因?yàn)槊⒐松鲜裁匆矝](méi)有了。接著，把它們曬干，切成兩半，再把它們縫到布上。
So, I used approximately around 1,400 of them – so there was just a couple! I took over the kitchen and pretty much the whole living room as well with just mango seeds and material. It was just everywhere.
我用了大約1400個(gè)芒果核，其實(shí)不多，就幾個(gè)。家里的廚房和客廳都被我占用了，堆滿了芒果核和布料。真的到處都是。
I did it for between three and four months. I was actually called ‘crazy’, but I think they were very surprised that I did end up getting it done. I had a vision in my head and I guess I just grabbed that and ran with it. But once it was all together and finished and I saw it out in the mango paddock, I was very happy with my work.
我用了3個(gè)多月的時(shí)間制作這條連衣裙。在此期間，我甚至被人稱為瘋子，但我覺(jué)得他們沒(méi)想到我最終能完成這件事。我腦海中有一個(gè)愿景，我就按照它開(kāi)始了這個(gè)構(gòu)想。制作完成后，我穿著這件裙子站在芒果園中時(shí)，我對(duì)自己的勞動(dòng)成果還是非常滿意的。
[Jess wore the dress to her high school graduation dinner. 杰斯穿著這條連衣裙參加了她的高中畢業(yè)典禮晚宴。]
I would love to tell the consumer and also the supermarkets like, there is perfectly fine fruit and we're just throwing it out because it doesn't meet, you know, the standards of the market. And that it's edible, it's still completely edible and that it can be bought and eaten and enjoyed by everyone.
我很想告訴消費(fèi)者和超市，這些水果完全沒(méi)有問(wèn)題，但我們把它們?nèi)拥?，只是因?yàn)樗鼈儾环鲜袌?chǎng)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。它們是完全可以食用的，每個(gè)人都可以去購(gòu)買、吃到并享受芒果的果香。
