原文：

Ah, the sweet smell of fresh flowers, herbs and fruit. But what if you don't have room for a flower garden or a fruit tree? What about if you always over or under water your herb garden? What happens when your house just doesn't get a lot of sun? And what about when you try and try but you just don't have that coveted green thumb? Sigh. And even if you could grow that prize winning dahlia, what happens in the winter when you crave that subtle floral scent wafting through the house, room to room? You're probably not going to import 20 plumeria leis from Hawaii to fulfill your dream.

译文：

啊，新鲜的花朵、香草和水果的味道是多么的甜美！但是如果你没有地方培育花园或种植果树怎么办？如果你的香草园里浇水多了或浇水少了怎么办？当你的房子恰好阳光不充足怎么办？当你试了一遍又一遍就是得不到你想要的那种园艺技能怎么办？唯有叹气罢了。即使你能培育出那种可以获奖的大丽花，而在冬天，当你渴求那种隐隐的花香，飘荡在整座房子中，从一个房间飘到另一个房间时，那又怎么办呢？你很可能不会从夏威夷运进20个鸡蛋花花环来实现你的梦想。
