This is Everything You Need to Know About Grapes

这就是你需要知道的有关葡萄的一切知识

Here is an entire article about grapes. 本文讲述了各种各样的葡萄。

Usually we see bags of grapes at the store and we‟re like, “aw cute, but I‟ll take the wine part instead,” because grapes are just little punching bags of sugar and you might as well be eating circus peanuts. They‟re good for cheese plates though, so we‟ll give them that.

通常我们在店里看到一袋袋的葡萄时，我们会想，“哇，它们好可爱哦，但算了我还是喝葡萄酒吧，”因为葡萄就是小糖袋，还不如吃花生状的棉花糖呢。但葡萄放在奶酪盘中还是不错的，所以我就在奶酪盘中放点吧。

Then Witch Finger grapes came along. Long, thin grapes that taste like grapes but look like bent pinky fingers in the most creepy yet delightful way. They‟re in season in mid-July until early August, stalk them in specialty stores—I found them at Eli‟s Market on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where producer manager Sal Schillizzi told me customers ask about the grapes before they‟ve arrived. Of course they do! It‟s the Upper East Side.

之后美人指葡萄上市了。这种长长的、瘦瘦的葡萄尝起来跟葡萄一样，但看上去就像弯曲的小拇指，有点诡异但又让人愉悦。美人指在7月中旬到8月初期间售卖，我跟着这些葡萄来到了专营店——我在曼哈顿上东区的Eli‟s Market发现了它们，这里的生产经理Sal Schillizzi告诉我说：美人指还没上市时，顾客们就已经在询问上市日期了。他们当然会了！因为这可是上东区啊。

Oh! And then there‟s Cotton Candy grapes. Little hot air balloons that taste like CANDY.So much sugar.So much happiness.In season the first week of August until mid-to-late September. Sal told me that “Cotton Candy sell out like crazy” at Eli‟s Market.

啊！然后就是马奶葡萄。这种小小的热气球尝起来就像糖果一样。很多糖，满满的幸福感。8月的第一周到9月的中下旬都可以买到马奶葡萄。Sal跟我说在Eli‟s Market“马奶葡萄卖疯了”。

But before you get all “What chemicals?! GMOs bad!” on me, please know that the way these trendy hipster grapes are made is the old-fashioned way:

cross-pollination. Years of careful breeding by Dr. David Cain, a man who has spent his life traveling the globe, making new grapes. Let him live! There‟s nothing sinister about it.

但在你问我“什么化学物质？转基因食物不好！”之前，请先了解一下:这种新潮时髦的葡萄是用老式方法制作的，即交叉授粉。大卫·该隐博士在几年的悉心照料之后，制成了这种新型葡萄。大卫·该隐博士一生都在环游世界。让他活着吧！这没有什么可罪恶的。 I talked to Jim Beagle, the CEO and co-owner of the Grapery, which is the only farm that grows these in the U.S. right now. In fact, Witch Finger grapes have been rebranded, now they‟re “Tear Drop” grapes, because “we started to get more and more complaints about it.” These grapes have only existed since 2013, when they were named “chili pepper grapes” because of their shapes, but then “kids wouldn‟t touch them.” According to Beagle, half of their test group was “so grossed out by the word „fingers‟ in their food that they refused to even sample the grapes.”

吉姆·比格是Grapery的首席执行官兼老板。现在Grapery是美国唯一一家种植这类葡萄的农场，我与吉姆对过话。事实上，美人指葡萄已被重新命名了，现在叫做“泪滴”葡萄，因为“我们开始收到越来越多的抱怨。”这些葡萄自2013年才开始出现，当时因为它们的形状而被叫做“辣椒葡萄”，但那样的话“孩子们就不会碰它们了。”据比格所述，在他们的试验小组中，“一半的人对食物中„手指这个词感到恶心‟，他们甚至拒绝品尝这样的葡萄”。
