Today our master thatches will begin giving this barn behind me a sturdy thatched roof able to withstand heavy winds and last up to a hundred years. How did they do it？ Well， in a nutshell ， fetching involves covering the beams or rafters， the wooden skeleton of a roof， with reeds or straw. Our thatchers here have harvested their own natural materials for the job the bundles of water reeds you see lying over there beside the barn. Thatching is certainly uncommon in the United States today. I guess 欢迎来到Forewinds历史农场过去的传统保留为游客喜欢你。今天我们的主thatchers将开始给这个谷仓里我后面一个坚固的茅草屋顶能抵御强风和持续一百年。他们是怎么做到的?嗯,简而言之,抓取涉及覆盖梁或椽木骨架一个屋顶,芦苇和稻草。我们在这里thatchers收获了自己的自然材料的工作包你看到地上的水芦苇在旁边的谷仓。母亲当然是少见,在今天的美国。我猜thats why so many of you have come to see this demonstration. 这就是为什么你有许多可以看到这个演示。But it wasnt always that way. In the 17th century the colonists here thatched their roofs with reeds and straw， just as they had done in England.

In Ireland， where thatching is still practiced， the roofs can survive winds of up to 110 miles per hour. Thats because straw and reeds are so flexible. They bend but dont break in the wind like other materials can. Another advantages that the roofs keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And then of course， theres the roofs longevity. The average is sixty years， but they can last up to a hundred. 这是一个真正的遗憾,现在大多数人没有意识到强劲而持久的茅草屋顶。在爱尔兰,母亲仍然进行,屋顶可以生存风速高达每小时110英里。这是因为稻草和芦苇非常灵活。他们弯但别打断风像其它材料。另一个优势是,屋顶保住房子夏天凉爽,冬天的寒冷。当然,有屋顶的长寿。平均有六十年,但是他们会持续到一百年。With all these reasons to start thatching roofs again wouldnt it be wonderful to see this disappearing craft to return to popularity. 因为这些原因,母亲又开始屋顶会不会很高兴看到这消失的工艺重返流行。39.

They are all competing for a significant share of the gourmet coffee market. Surprisingly， the competition among these leading gourmet coffee businesses will not hurt any of them.
