这不，今天我们就要去
That’s why we’re going to
pay a visit
钦州的一个火龙果培育基地看看。
to a pitaya cultivation base in
Qinzhou.
还没到呢，
We haven’t reached the base yet
渊源一路上就已经念叨开了。
and Yuanyuan has already
started chattering.
王渊源：韩佳，还没到啊？
Han Jia, are we reaching it?
韩佳： 还没呢。别着急。
Not yet. Be patient.
王渊源：我能不急吗？
How can I be patient?
这火龙果那么好吃。
The pitaya is a type of
delicious fruit.
韩佳： 啊，你说什么？
Ah, what did you say?
王渊源：没什么。
Nothing.
我是说，
I said
这火龙果我以前只是吃过，
I have eaten pitayas before,
还不知道它是怎么长出来的呢。
but don’t know how the fruit grows.
韩佳： 是啊。你说它是长在树上呢，
Right. Do you know whether
the fruit grows on trees
还是像西瓜一样长在地上啊？
or on the ground like a watermelon?
王渊源：您知道吗？
Do you know?
韩佳： 到了培育基地不就知道了。
We’ll find out after our arrival
at the cultivation base.
王渊源：哇，韩佳，你看，
Wow, Han Jia, look,
这儿漫山遍野的都是火龙果呀！
there are lots of pitayas all over
the place here!
韩佳： 嗯。”漫山遍野”就是指
Yes. “Man shan bian ye” means
山上、田野里到处都是，
all over the hills and dales,
形容数量很多。
or in large numbers.
王渊源：”漫山遍野”就是指
So “man shan bian ye” means
山上、田野里到处都是，
all over the hills and dales,
形容数量很多。
or in large numbers.
韩佳： 就像渊源刚才说的，
Just as Yuanyuan said,
Zhè li de huǒlóngguǒ mànshānbiànyě dào chù dōu shì
这 里 的 火龙果 漫山遍野， 到 处 都 是。
There are lots of huolongguo all over
the place here.
这火龙果长得还真像仙人掌啊！
How much the pitaya plant
looks like a cactus!
王渊源：你看，下面还有水泥柱子呀。
Look, there is even a cement
pole underneath.
韩佳： 这水泥柱是起到支撑作用的，
The cement pole functions as
a prop
就相当于葡萄架。
just like a grape trellis.
王渊源：哦，是这个样子的。
Oh, I see.
韩佳： 你看，那边正好有工作人员。
Look, there is a staff member
over there.
要不我们去问问他？
How about going over to
consult him?
王渊源：好主意。
Good idea.
韩佳： 师傅，您好。
Sir, hello.
王渊源：您好。您是这里的工作人员吗？
Hello. Are you a staff member here?
嘉宾： 对对对。
Yes, yes.
韩佳： 我们是来参观火龙果培育基地的。
We’re here to visit this pitaya
cultivation base.
您这是在干吗啊？
What are you doing right now?
嘉宾： 我是在整理这个果子。
I’m tidying up the fruit.
韩佳： 哦…
Oh …
王渊源：整理它。
You’re tidying up the fruit.
韩佳： 整理，为什么要整理啊？
Why are you tidying up the fruit?
嘉宾： 因为它这个花啊，像这种花。
I’m removing flowers from the fruit.
把它整下来以后，
After the flowers are removed,
到时候成熟之后包装就比较方便。
it’ll be a lot easier to package
the fruit.
王渊源：这个还不能吃是吗？
Are the fruit eatable now?
嘉宾： 这还没熟。
They are not ripe yet.
韩佳： 这个大概要多长时间就能红，
How much longer does it take for
the fruit to become red
就能吃了？
and eatable?
嘉宾： 一般我们是大概要三十天左右。
It takes about 30 more days.
听这位工作人员介绍才知道，
We heard from this worker that
原来火龙果是一种
the pitaya is actually
来自热带沙漠的仙人掌植物。
a type of cactus growing on
tropical deserts.
在种植上需要一定的技术和经验。
Planting needs certain techniques
and experience.
据说这里的种植面积
It’s said the planted area here
更是会达到一千个足球场那么大。
is 1,000 times bigger than a
soccer field.
规模真是够大的了。
It’s very large.
在工作人员的邀请下，
At the invitation of the staff
members here,
我们有幸品尝到了刚摘下来的火龙果。
we’re lucky to be able to taste some
of the just-picked pitayas.
王渊源：哦，唉，可惜呀！
Oh, oh, what a pity!
韩佳： 又怎么了？
What’s the matter again?
王渊源：我在想，只有在钦州
I was thinking that only
in Qinzhou
才能吃到这么好吃的火龙果。
can we eat such delicious pitayas.
实在是太可惜了。
It’s surely a pity.
韩佳： 这个你就更不用担心了。
It’s all the more needless for
you to worry about that.
这钦州的火龙果呢，
Qinzhou pitaya
不仅销售到中国的好多城市，
is sold not only in many
Chinese cities,
而且还远销美国、加拿大等国家呢。
but also in America, Canada and
other countries.
王渊源：是吗？
Really?
那看来，回美国以后，
It seems when I return
to America,
我还有机会吃到钦州的火龙果呢。
I still have chances to eat
Qinzhou pitaya.
韩佳： 对啊。这火龙果不光能吃，
Yes. The pitaya is not only edible,
而且还能用呢。
but also very useful.
王渊源：用火龙果？
Is it also useful?
韩佳： 嗯。
Yes.
听韩佳一解释我才知道，
Having heard Han Jia’s explanation,
now I know
原来火龙果还能提取保健品酵素，
actually, ferment, a health care product,
can also be extracted from the fruit
以及制作化妆品。
for the production of cosmetics.
看来火龙果不但能吃，
It seems the pitaya is not
only edible,
而且其他的用途还不少呢。
but also has many uses.
王渊源：没想到，火龙果还有这么多用途呢！
To my surprise, the pitaya has
so many uses!
韩佳： 对啊。
Yes.
而且这其中有一项
You’ll be definitely interested in
你肯定特别感兴趣。
one of the uses.
王渊源：哦，是什么呀？
Oh, what’s that?
韩佳： 就是这火龙果还可以当菜吃。

in the glasses
还是火龙果制作出来的酒呢。

pitaya pulp.
王渊源：光听着还不觉得。
I didn’t feel it different.
尝一尝，真觉得味道不错呀。
But a taste of it proved it’s
really tasteful.
韩佳： 是啊。
Yes.
用火龙果做菜真是标新立异。
Making dishes with pitaya is
very unconventional.
“标新立异”呢是个成语，
“Biao xin li yi” is an diom,
就是指提出新的见解或者是主张，
which means to do something
unconventional,
表示与一般的不同。
unorthodox or different.
王渊源：”标新立异”
So “biao xin li yi”

韩佳： 比如说，标新立异的做法、
For examples, an unconventional method,

再比如我们刚才说的，
Another example just we said,
Yòng huǒlóngguǒ zuò cài zhēn shi biāoxīnlìyì
用 火龙果 做 菜 真 是 标新立异。
Making dishes with huolongguo is very
unconventional.
王渊源：这么大一桌菜光欣赏可不行吧。
The whole table of dishes isn’t
just for us to see.
韩佳： 知道你等不及了。
I know you can’t wait
any longer.
赶快尝尝鲜吧。
Come on and taste them.
