EP199 | ✂️「剪」不斷的熱情,小小年紀「喜羊羊」🐑


Listen Later


Charlie is not your typical (典型的) teenager. He’s thirteen years old this year. Growing up on his family farm in Australia, he started shearing (剪羊毛) sheep when he was just five years old. Having seen both his parents constantly (不斷地) shearing sheep, he got curious (好奇的) and asked them to teach him. At first, he wasn’t allowed to use electrical shearing tools (電動剪毛工具). As you can see, shearing sheep requires lots of skills and strength (力氣). First you have to hold the sheep still and when you shear, you can’t shear too close to the skin. Charlie found the entire process fascinating (迷人的) and fun. He said while other families went away for vacations, his family just enjoyed shearing sheep together. Domesticated (被馴養的) sheep don’t shed (自然脫落) naturally, so they can develop serious health issues (健康問題) if they are not regularly shorn (剪毛;為 shear 的過去分詞).



Last December Charlie broke his personal record (打破自己的紀錄) by shearing 150 sheep in one go. When asked what he wants to do when he grows up, he says he wants to go into agriculture (農業) and shears full time. This is good news for the wool industry (羊毛產業) because they have long struggled (掙扎) to find more young shearers to join the field due to the toughness (艱苦) of the job. Worker shortages (短缺) have plagued (困擾) the shearing industry for years. It hopes to lure (吸引、誘導) more young people like Charlie in through strong earnings (收入). An experienced shearer (有經驗的剪毛工) can make up to $1000 a day.
