橘子大战，狂欢上演

The annual tradition is thought to date back to the 12th century.

这种一年一度的传统盛据说可以追溯到12世纪。

It's a food fight with a-peel.

是用一种有皮的水果来打仗。

Italians in the northern town of Ivrea, near Turin, celebrated the carnival season with a historic local tradition dubbed "The Battle of the Oranges" over the weekend.

上周末，意大利人在都灵附近的北部小镇伊夫里亚举行了一场名为“橘子之战”的传统狂欢节。

The town-wide fruit fracas pays homage to a local legend dating back to the 12th century and symbolizes a revolt against the noblemen of the area by the commoners.

这个遍布全城的水果狂欢是在向12世纪的当地传说致敬，象征着平民对当地贵族的反抗。

The modern-day tradition uses hundreds of tons of oranges that would otherwise be discarded that are shipped from Sicily to the north for the festival.

现代的传统是用数百吨橙子来打，这些橙子本来是过期要被扔掉的，它们是从西西里岛运往北方来过节用的。

While a team representing the evil lord's henchmen are clad in protective outfits for the townspeople to pelt with oranges, residents say the whole thing's in jest.

当一个代表邪恶领主的追随者的队伍穿着防护服，让市民们向他们投掷橘子时，居民们说这一切都是在开玩笑。

"The teams are not against each other, they are all friends who throw oranges for fun but nobody cares if you win or if you lose," said resident Stefano Caldera to local reporters.

当地居民斯蒂法诺.卡尔德拉对当地记者说:“这两支队伍并不对立，他们都是为了好玩而扔橘子的朋友，但没人在乎你是赢是输。”
