What, a visit to a vineyard?
我真是歪打正着啊。
It’s exactly what I want.
我终于明白了为什么吃葡萄不吐葡萄皮。
I finally understand why people don’t spit
grape skins when eating grapes.
韩佳：为什么啊？
Why?
大牛：因为葡萄太多了
Because there are so many grapes
吃都吃不过来，
for people to eat
哪里还顾得上吐皮呢。
they have no time for spitting the skins.
韩佳：嗨，你这是什么道理啊！
Hey, what kind of logic you have!
不能摘！
No picking!
大牛：韩佳，摘完以后我会付人家钱的。
Han Jia, I’ll pay for the fruit I pick.
韩佳：我不是这个意思。
I don’t mean that.
我是想告诉你
I just want to tell you
不是所有的葡萄都是用来吃的。
not all grapes here are for eating.
你刚才想摘的这种葡萄是用来酿酒的。

used to make wine.

They are the well-known Lizhamat
Grape of Ili.
据说特别甜。
It’s said such grapes are
extremely sweet.
大牛：力札玛特儿？我摘。
Lizhamat? I’ll pick some.
哎呀，够得着的不能吃。
Hey, the reachable ones are
not ripe yet.
能吃的够不着。
But the ripe ones are not reachable.
这叫什么事啊！
What a tricky situation!
这葡萄有什么好吃的。
Grapes are not good to eat.
吃葡萄又得吐皮，又得吐籽的。
You have to spit out the skins
and seeds.
多麻烦。
Too much trouble.
韩佳：大牛，你这是吃不着葡萄就说葡萄酸啊。
Daniel, you are saying grapes
are sour when you can’t eat them.
大牛：我没说它酸，我是说吃葡萄麻烦。
I didn’t say they are sour. I mean
eating is too troublesome.
韩佳：吃不着葡萄说葡萄酸是中国的一句俗语。
It’s a Chinese common saying to say
grapes are sour when one cannot eat them.
意思就是说想得到的东西得不到
It means that when people can’t
get what they
就安慰自己说不想要。

comfort themselves.

The Turpan grapes, Hami melons
伊犁的苹果顶呱呱。
and Ili apples are all the best.
我们这里还有哈密瓜和大苹果呢。
We also have Hami melons and
big apples here.
大牛：啊，怎么不早说啊？

fragrant and sweet.

ground when ripe.
韩佳：嗨，你这个人一点常识都没有。
Hey, you obviously lack common sense.
这瓜是长在地上的，
The melons are growing on the ground,
怎么可能跟苹果一样，
how can they, like apples,
熟了就掉下来了呢？
fall on the ground when ripe?
大牛：其实我也纳闷。
I was also doubtful about it.
可是中国的成语就是这么说的。
But that’s what the Chinese idiom says.
瓜熟落地，没道理啊。
”gu shu luo di”, unreasonable.
韩佳：嗨，那个成语是瓜熟蒂落。
Hey, that idiom is “gua shu di luo”.
蒂不是土地的地。
”di” does not refer to land or ground.
而是瓜蒂的蒂，
It means the base part of a fruit,
就是这个，瓜蒂。
the stalk of a fruit.
大牛：瓜蒂，我说呢。
Stem, that’s what it means.
韩佳：瓜熟蒂落这个成语，
”gu shu di luo” is an idiom,
是比喻条件成熟了，事情自然就会成功了。
meaning when conditions are ripe,
things will be successful naturally.
大牛：瓜熟蒂落字面意思是瓜熟了，瓜蒂就会落下来，
”gua shu di luo”, literally when a
melon is ripe it falls off its stem,
比喻条件成熟了，
is a Chinese idiom which means
that things will be accomplished
事情自然就会成功了。
