试译下这段吧
That attitude misconstrues the ultimate appeal of: it mistakes the product for the purpose. It is true that a garden can yield peas that taste like the vibrant, green essence of spring; tomatoes and carrots of incomparable sweetness; lettuces and herbs that taste like themselves rather than the plastic they are usually packaged in; and potatoes with the biscuity richness of earth itself. Finding, say, fenugreek leaves or celtuce in the shops can take some time, effort and expense; growing your own vegetables, exotic or routine, ensures a reliable supply.
那种态度误解了园艺的最终魅力:它把产品误认为目的。诚然,花园可以收获豌豆,其味道就像春天充满活力的绿色精华;西红柿和胡萝卜拥有无与伦比的甜味;莴笋和香草尝起来就是它们本身的原味,而不是通常包装它们的塑料味;土豆富含浓郁的泥土芬芳。比方说,在商店寻找葫萝卜叶或莴笋可能需要花一些时间、精力和费用;而自己种植的蔬菜,不管是异国情调的还是常规的,都能确保可靠的供应。
