1. Before departure 出发前<br>P: Baby, what's your favorite fruit?<br>K: Apples/ oranges etc.<br><div>P: Do you like to eat grapes?</div><div>K: Yes! Grapes are sweet.<br></div>P:If we want to eat fruits, what do we do?<br>K: Buy. and we can get from the tree.<br>P: Yes, exactly. Usually, we buy the fruits that we want to eat in the fruit shop or in the market. And we can pick the fruits directly from the plants. Now it's the grape harvest season. Shall we go to pick the grapes today?<br>K: OK. Let's go. Hooray!<br>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.<br> <p class="ql-block">先在院子里玩一会儿,韩国范的装饰</p> <p class="ql-block">娃们真的是特别善于发现,说这个小兰花像蝴蝶,查了一下叫竹节草,还发现了一个橘色的东西,软软的,不知道是什么,看颜色这么鲜艳,不知道是不是有毒。还发现了小蘑菇。</p> <p class="ql-block">韩式烧烤和火锅,顺便复习一下烤肉的说法</p> 2. Grape Plant 认识葡萄树<br>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 go inside.<br>K: Wow, So many grapes! I can’t wait to eat.<br>P: Ha-ha, when we pick them, you can eat some. But don’t eat too much.<br>K: OK.<br>P: Look, Mommy has two pictures of the grape plant. Come and see. Can you find 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?<br>K: No.<br>P: Where are the roots?<br>K: They’re underground.<br>P: Yes. Very good. You can’t find the buds either. As the buds can only be seen in spring.<br> Leaf 叶子 <br>Tendrils 卷须 <br>Buds 花蕾 <br>Cordon主蔓/臂干<br>Cane/shoot长枝 <br>Head 头部 <br>Trunk躯干/主干 <br>Roots根部 <br>Spur/Arms短枝<br> 重点单词解析<br>Grapery: an area or building in which grapes are grown, 主要指葡萄温室<br>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。<br> 3. Grape Leaves认识葡萄叶<br>P: Baby, look at the grape leaves. It’s the solid leaf with several points. Right?<br>K: Yes.<br>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, it was bitten by some insects. Can you see the holes in it? Well, this leaf has been dry. It will fall off very soon.<br> <p class="ql-block">4.Picking grapes 采摘葡萄</p><p class="ql-block">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?</p><p class="ql-block">K: Yes. Very sweet.</p><p class="ql-block">P: How about this one?</p><p class="ql-block">K: Oh, yuck. 好酸啊!</p><p class="ql-block">P: Yes, it’s sour and tart (酸涩的), because it’s not ripe. Do you know which one is ripe?</p><p class="ql-block">K: I don’t know. Let me have a taste.</p><p class="ql-block">P: Oh, baby, this grape is over ripe. It can’t be eaten.</p><p class="ql-block">K: Mummy, how about this green one?</p><p class="ql-block">P: Have a try. I guess it’s sweet. Right?</p><p class="ql-block">K: Yes. It’s sweet.</p><p class="ql-block">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.</p><p class="ql-block">TASTE</p><p class="ql-block">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.</p><p class="ql-block">LOOK</p><p class="ql-block">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.</p><p class="ql-block">FEEL</p><p class="ql-block">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).</p><p class="ql-block">SEED COLOR</p><p class="ql-block">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.</p> WILDLIFE<br>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!<br> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">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?</p><p class="ql-block">K: Yes.</p><p class="ql-block">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?</p><p class="ql-block">K: No. I don’t like to eat the skins and seeds.</p><p class="ql-block">P: OK. They’re indeed tasteless. Can you try to pick one cluster of grapes?</p><p class="ql-block">K: I’ll try. Oh, Mommy, I can’t.</p><p class="ql-block">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?</p><p class="ql-block">i. Hold this cluster of grapes in one hand.</p><p class="ql-block">ii. Snip (剪) the whole cluster off the vine (葡萄藤) with the scissors.</p><p class="ql-block">iii. Gently place the bunch in a pail or basket.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">That’s it!</p><p class="ql-block"> Easy as a pie. </p><p class="ql-block">Right?</p><p class="ql-block"> Do you want to have a try?</p><p class="ql-block">K: Yes, yes.</p><p class="ql-block">P: Great job. We have picked enough, baby. You can take a break.</p><p class="ql-block">P: As you can see, we have picked different kinds of grapes. Some are purple, some are yellowish. The most common varieties of the grapes are as follows:</p> Kyoho Grape<br>巨峰葡萄<br> Summer Black<br>夏黑葡萄<br> Muscat<br>玫瑰香<br> Milk Grape<br>白牛奶葡萄<br> Manicure Finger<br>美人指<br> Early Rose Grape<br>早玫瑰<br> Zuijinxiang Grape<br>醉金香<br> Centennial Seedless<br>无核白鸡心葡萄<br> Early Summer Seedless Grape<br>早夏无核葡萄<br> Red Grape<br>红提<br> Gold Finger<br>金手指<br> The Growth Cycle of Grapes<br>葡萄的生长周期<br>The annual growth cycle of grapevines is the process that takes place in the vineyard each year. It begins with bud break in the spring and culminates (在某一点结束) in leaf fall in autumn followed by winter dormancy (休眠). <br>Every year, the grapevine will follow the same growth cycle as follows.<br>Bud break(萌芽) <br> This stage begins around late March in Northern Hemisphere. Tiny buds on the 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 the petiole (leaf stem). 2 Flowering (开花) Depending on temperatures, 40-80 days after bud break, the process of flowering begins with small flower clusters. It appears on the tips of the young shoots looking like s. 3Fruit 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 on the vine gets fertilized, with the unfertilized flowers eventually falling of fthe vine.<br>4Veraison (转熟) and fruit maturation (开始成熟)<br> Following fruit set, the grape berries are green and hard to the touch. Approximately five to seven weeks after fruit set, veraison begins.<br>5Harvest (收采)<br> Now it’s the season of harvesting. Harvest means the grapes are ripe and can be picked.<br>6Post-harvest (收采后)<br>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 future growth. Following the first frost, the leaves begin to fall as the vine starts to enter its winter dormancy period. The following spring, the cycle begins again.<br> 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。<br><br>Here’re the steps to plant a grapevine<br>种葡萄树的步骤<br>1.
