Translate the following paragraph into Chinese: (10 points)
Rummaging through the fruit and veg section of my local supermarket, reading the country of origin labels, I am bewildered by the geography of it all. That the fruits of the earth should all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain would have been unthinkable a few years ago, yet now it is taken for granted.
Once strange and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford, if not now part of everyone’s diet, are certainly part of our everyday shopping experience. So much so that instead of focusing on the novel, I am drawn to the commonplace. Here, among the “humble” vegetables, something strange and disturbing is going on.

参考答案:
逛当地超市的蔬菜水果自选区时,我感到很困惑,从标签上看它们的原产地几乎遍及世界各地。英国这个外省小地方的角落能陈列着来自世界各地的水果,这在几年前简直难以令人置信。但现在,这好像是理所当然的事情。
以前,那些稀罕的和外国进口的水果只有富人才买得起,但现在即使不是每个人都能品尝到,也一定是我们每天购物时所能见识到的。变化这么大,以致我不再对新奇的果品过多地关注,而被普通的东西所吸引了。在那些常见而“廉价”的蔬菜里面某种奇怪而又令人不安的事情正在发生。
