可能是夏天中了香蜜里面“小葡萄”的毒，今天就先给大家来串葡萄吧
Episode 1: Picking Grapes 葡萄采摘
以下对话中的P=Parent（家长），K=Kid（孩子）
1. Before departure 出发前
P: Baby, what’s your favorite fruit?
K: Apples/ oranges etc.
P: Do you know what is mommy’s favorite fruit?
K: No.
P: I like grapes best. If we want to eat our favorite fruits, what do wedo?
K: Buy.
P: Yes, exactly. Usually, we buy the fruits that we want to eat in thefruit shop or in the market. But we have other ways to get the fresh fruits. Doyou know what they are?
K: No.
P: Mommy will tell you! We can pick the fruits directly from the plants.Now it’s the grape harvest season. Shall we go to pick the grapes today?
K: OK. Let’s go. Hooray!
P: You’re so excited to hear the news. Please prepare what you’d like to take, such as your water canteen (水杯). Are you ready? Let’s go.
葡萄长在树上？香蕉长在藤上？板栗长在土里？大米长在超市里？面条长在碗里？够了，揭开真相的时候到了。
2. Grape Plant 认识葡萄树
P: Now we have arrived at the grapery/vineyard (葡萄园). Please get out of the car. Before picking, we need to get the tools first. Take a basket. Mommy will get scissors. Let’s goinside.
K: Wow, So many grapes! I can’t wait to eat.
P: Ha-ha, when we pick them, you can eat some. But don’t eat too much.
K: OK.
P: Look, Mommy has two pictures of the grape plant. Come and see. Can youfind each part of the plant? Show me the leaves / fruits / tendrils (卷须) / head / trunk. （让宝宝指出所有能看到的部分）Can you see the roots?
K: No.
P: Where are the roots?
K: They’re underground.
P: Yes. Very good. You can’t find the buds either. As the buds can only beseen in spring.
Leaf 叶子
Tendrils 卷须
Buds 花蕾
Cordon主蔓/臂干
Cane/shoot长枝
Grapery: an area or building in which grapes are grown, 主要指葡萄温室
Vineyard: a piece of land where grapes are grown in order to produce wine, （为酿酒而种植的）葡萄园，主要指户外的葡萄园。
3. Grape Leaves认识葡萄叶
P: Baby, look at the grape leaves. It’s the solid leaf with several points.Right?
K: Yes.
P: The points are called lobes (叶瓣). Here are the nerves (叶脉),also called veins. Here are the lateral nerves (侧脉). This is the leaf stalk or petiole (叶柄). Look, baby, these leaves are in good condition. Look at that leaf, itwas bitten by some insects. Can you see the holes in it? Well, this leaf has been dry. It will fall off very soon.
4.Picking grapes 采摘葡萄
P: Do you know how to pick the grapes? We need to pick the ripe ones.Unripe grapes taste bad. This one is ripe. Have a taste. Is it yummy?
K: Yes. Very sweet.
P: How about this one?
K: Oh, yuck. 好酸啊！
P: Yes, it’s sour and tart (酸涩的), because it’s not ripe. Do you know which one is ripe?
K: I don’t know. Let me have a taste.
P: Oh, baby, this grape is over ripe. It can’t be eaten.
K: Mummy, how about this green one?
P: Have a try. I guess it’s sweet. Right?
K: Yes. It’s sweet.
P: Ha-ha, this type of grape is green. It’s ripe. I’ll tell you some methods to recognize the grapes are ripe or not.
TASTE
Tasting is actually the best way to judge the ripeness. If the grapes are ripe, it should be sweet and not too tart. We should not pick the grapes that are shriveled (枯萎、干枯). Look, this one is shriveled. It can’t be eaten now.
LOOK
Look at this cluster of grapes carefully. The ripe grapes are full, and the color is deep all around. Green grapes will lighten and almost turn yellowish.
FEEL
Touch these three grapes. Can you feel the difference? The 1st one is good and plump. It’s ripe. The 2nd one is a little bit hard, it’s not ripe. While the 3rd one is a little bit soft, that means it’s over ripe (熟过了).
SEED COLOR
Peel the skin off of the grapes, you can see the seed/pip. Just like in apples, seeds of ripe grapes turns from white to tan (棕黄色) to brown.
WILDLIFE
Eating the grapes is also a sign that the grapes are ready. Racoons, squirrels and birds will eat grapes when they’re ripe – if they’re feasting– you can too!
4.Picking grapes 采摘葡萄
P: Now that you know how to find the ripe grapes, we can start picking them. Baby, can you see a white layer on the grapes?
K: Yes.
P: It’s the fruit powder (霜、果粉)of the grapes. It can be eaten. The seeds and the skins of the grapes are edible too. They’re good for our health. Do you want to have a try?
K: No. I don’t like to eat the skins and seeds.
P: OK. They’re indeed tasteless. Can you try to pick one cluster of grapes?
K: I’ll try. Oh, Mommy, I can’t.
P: It’s hard to break off the cluster with your hands directly. It’s bestto use a sharp cutting tool, such as scissors. Now Let me show you how to pick the grapes. We pick this cluster, OK?
Hold this cluster of grapes in one hand.
Snip (剪) the whole cluster off the vine (葡萄藤) with the scissors.
Gently place the bunch in a pail or basket.
That’s it!
Easy as a pie.
Right?
Do you want to have a try?
K: Yes, yes.
P: Great job. We have picked enough, baby. You can take a break.
P: As you can see, we have picked different kinds of grapes. Some arepurple, some are yellowish. The most common varieties of the grapes are asfollows:
Kyoho Grape
巨峰葡萄
Summer Black
夏黑葡萄
Muscat
玫瑰香
Milk Grape
白牛奶葡萄
Manicure Finger
美人指
Early Rose Grape
早玫瑰
Zuijinxiang Grape
醉金香
Centennial Seedless
无核白鸡心葡萄
Early Summer Seedless Grape
早夏无核葡萄
Red Grape
红提
Gold Finger
金手指
紫葡萄为什么酸，青葡萄为什么还甜？有的葡萄又大又圆，有的葡萄瘦长瘦长，有的葡萄还有花香味。吃了这么多年葡萄，居然连名字都不知道，这回算是明白了。
采摘完葡萄，宝贝们儿肯定吃过瘾了。摘的葡萄吃不完，不用着急，可以把它们来做成葡萄果酱，晒成葡萄干，还可以直接做葡萄酒。
是的，我们真的要开始做葡萄酒了，这可是经过小编实验并成功过的攻略哦~
Episode 2: Making Grape Vine 制作葡萄酒
1. Daily dialogue日常对话
P: Today I am so tired. But I’m very happy, because we have a good harvest of grapes. Now, what are we going to do with all these grapes?
K: Eat.
P: Ha-ha, do you still want to eat it?
K: No.
P: You have had enough already. Mommy would like to make some grape wine.Do you want to help me?
K: Yes, yes.
P: Now let’s start.
2. Making 制作
What we need
Kyoho Grape (巨峰葡萄): 5kg;
Sugar: 1.25kg
Big basins (大盆)
glass jars (玻璃罐子)
crocks (陶瓷罐子)

gauze (纱布)
Some Liquor (if needed)
Step
1.Snip the grapes one by one from the bunch with the scissors. Pick outthe bad ones.
用剪刀贴近果蒂处把葡萄一个个剪下来，可以留一点果蒂。
2.Clean the grapes with water and dry them. To cleanthem easily, you can put some starch (淀粉) in the water when washing them.
用清水冲洗干净，晾干。
3.Crush the grapes in a big basin together with grapeskins and seeds. Squeeze them with your hands to release the juice.
把葡萄捏碎，葡萄皮、葡萄籽和果肉全都留在盆里，挤出葡萄汁。
4.Add the sugar into the basin and stir. After thesugar is completely melted, pour the liquid into a jar (it’s best to clean theinside of the jar with liquor before pouring). Please keep the level of thegrape juice under 2/3 of the jar.
把糖放入盆中搅拌，待糖彻底融化后倒入玻璃罐中，到入前最好用白酒涮一下罐子内部，请不要超过玻璃罐的2/3。
5.Cover the lid and ferment the wine for about 30days.
盖上盖子，发酵30天左右（时间随温度而定）。
6.Filtrate and ferment again. Use a Strainer (滤网) or gauze (纱布) to filter the wine into another jar. Seal and ferment again for 30 days.
用滤网或纱布过滤到另外一个罐子中，密封进行二次发酵30天。
7.Filtrate again and bottle the wine. Before puttingthe wine into bottles, please use some liquor to rinse (冲洗) the bottle.
再次过滤、装瓶，装瓶前用白酒冲洗一下瓶子。
葡萄除了可以吃，可以酿酒，可以晒葡萄干，做葡萄干饼干，还可以边玩边吃，先给葡萄来组造型吧
Episode 3: Play with thegrapes场景三：玩葡萄
P: Baby, here are some green grapes. Do you want to play with them?
B: Yes. How toplay?
P: Get me some tooth picks. I will show you.
B: OK.
P: Look, push the toothpick into the grape. Now put another grape on the other end of the tooth pick. You can have a try. Yes, very good. See, what did we make?
B: It’s a square.
P: Yes. You cantry to make other shapes. Isn’t this interesting?
B: Yes. I like toplay with the grapes.

The Growth Cycle of Grapes
葡萄的生长周期
The annual growth cycle of grapevines is the processthat takes place in the vineyard each year. It begins with bud break in thespring and culminates （在某一点结束) in leaf fall in autumn followed by winter dormancy (休眠).
Every year, the grapevine will follow the samegrowth cycle as follows.
1
Bud break(萌芽)
This stage begins around late March in Northern Hemisphere. Tiny buds onthe vine start to swell, and eventually shoots begin to grow from the buds.Buds are the small part of the vine that rest between the vine's stem and thepetiole (leaf stem).
2
Flowering (开花)
Depending on temperatures, 40-80 days after bud break, the process offlowering begins with small flower clusters. It appears on the tips of theyoung shoots looking like buttons.
3
Fruit set (结果)
This stage follows flowering almost immediately, when the fertilized (授粉) flower begins to develop a seed and grape berry (葡萄果实) to protect the seed. (Following fertilization,the fruit begins to form.) It normally takes place in May. Not every flower onthe vine gets fertilized, with the unfertilized flowers eventually falling offthe vine.
4
Veraison (转熟) and fruit maturation (开始成熟)
Following fruit set, the grape berries are green and hard to the touch.Approximately five to seven weeks after fruit set, veraison begins.
5
Harvest (收采)
Now it’s the season of harvesting. Harvest means the grapes are ripe and can be picked.
6
Post-harvest (收采后)
After harvest, grapevine leaves continue to photosynthesize (进行光合作用) until frost (霜冻). This is a very important period for the vines to accumulate carbohydrates(糖类，碳水化合物) for futuregrowth. Following the first frost, the leaves begin to fall as the vine startsto enter its winter dormancy period. The following spring, the cycle beginsagain.
了解完葡萄的成长过程，有条件的亲们可以买支葡萄枝自己扦插栽培，让孩子有更切身的体会。若能用自己种植的葡萄，榨一杯新鲜葡萄汁，对孩子来说将是多么幸福甜蜜的事。
