夏令营：Crocus-Pocus

哎呀，这不是我最喜欢的小朋友们嘛。

Well, well, well, if it isn't my favorite campers.

欢迎回到Circle Round夏令营。

Welcome back to Circle Round Summer Camp.

我是你们的营地辅导员艾丽卡·亨宁森，今天又带来一个精彩的故事，让我们一起感受大自然的美妙与神奇。

I'm your camp counselor, Erica Henningsen, with another exciting story to help us appreciate the beauty and wonder of nature.

在世界上很多地方，夏天是充满色彩的季节。

In many parts of the world, summer is a time of color.

我指的是鲜花。

And by that, I mean flowers.

向日葵、虞美人、剑兰、大丽花。

Sunflowers, poppies, gladiolas, dahlias.

鲜花给世界带来了欢乐。

Flowers bring joy into the world.

所以今天，我们要讲一个故事，关于一种特别值得庆祝的花。

And so today, we have a story about one flower worth celebrating.

大家围过来，听《番红花魔法》的故事吧。

So circle round everyone for Crocus Pocus.

你有没有过糟糕的一天？

Have you ever had a bad day?

当我们心情不好的时候，找个人聊聊，坐下来跟信任的人分享感受，会很有帮助。

When we're having a bad day, it can be helpful if we talk about it, if we sit down with someone we trust and share how we're feeling.

我们即将认识一个角色，他不只是过了糟糕的一天。

We're about to meet a character who isn't just having a bad day.

他整个夏天都很糟糕。

He's having a bad summer.

当他跟一个陌生人倾诉时，事情从悲剧变成了奇迹。

And when he talks about it with a complete stranger, things go from tragic to magic.

我是丽贝卡·希尔，欢迎收听《围圈听故事》，在这里，故事随时开讲。

I'm Rebecca Scheer, and welcome to Circle Round, where story time happens all the time.

今天的故事叫《番红花魔法》。

Today, our story is called Crocus Pocus.

这个故事源自意大利南部的西西里岛，它是地中海最大的岛屿。

You'll find versions of this tale from the southern Italian island of Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.

我们邀请了许多优秀的伙伴一起打造了这个民间故事版本，其中包括雅各布·拉瓦尔和阿曼达·沃伦。

Some really great people came together to bring you our version of this folktale, including Jacob Laval and Amanda Warren.

雅各布·拉瓦尔出演过《芝麻街》、约翰·穆拉尼的《 sack lunch bunch》、《对抗美国的阴谋》以及《八位圣诞》等影视剧。

Jacob Laval has appeared in such TV shows and movies as Sesame Street, John Mulaney and The Sack Lunch Bunch, The Plot Against America and Eight Bit Christmas.

他的最新电影《不可摧毁的男孩》目前正在影院上映。

His newest film, The Unbreakable Boy, is in theaters now.

阿曼达·沃伦因出演《东纽约》、《狄金森》、《遗留问题》、《埋葬》以及目前在Netflix播出第二季的《夜探者》而为人熟知。

Amanda Warren is known for her roles in East New York, Dickinson, The Leftovers, The Burial, and The Night Agent, now in its second season on Netflix.

那么大家围成一圈，我们来聊聊番红花吧。

So circle around everyone for Crocus Pocus.

你们见过那种像小杯子一样的花吗？那就是番红花。

Have you ever seen the little cup shaped flower known as the crocus?

大多数番红花最初来自亚洲和北非。

Most crocuses originally come from Asia and North Africa, Africa.

不过，有一种淡紫色长花瓣的番红花，是来自欧洲的。

But there's one type of crocus, the pale purple long flowered crocus, that comes from Europe.

更确切地说，是来自意大利的西西里岛。

More specifically, from the Italian island of Sicily.

而根据传说，这全靠一位名叫尼古拉的年轻葡萄种植者。

And according to legend, it was all thanks to a young grape grower named Nikola.

该起床去葡萄园干活了。

Time to wake up and get to work in the vineyard.

这座葡萄园在尼古拉家已经传了好几代。

The vineyard had been in Nikola's family for generations.

他刚继承了这片葡萄园，它原本属于他父母，他们是勤劳的葡萄种植者，生前把能教的一切都教给了尼古拉。

He recently inherited it from his parents, a pair of hard working grape growers who taught Nicola everything they knew before they passed away.

现在父母不在了，葡萄园的重担就落在了尼古拉肩上。

Now that they were gone, the vineyard was Nicola's responsibility.

虽然他还很年轻，但他决心要让家族企业继续兴旺发达。

And though he was still rather young, he was determined to keep the family business thriving.

于是，他日复一日地早起晚睡，把中间所有的空闲时间都花在打理葡萄园上。

So day after day, he woke up early, went to bed late, and spent every hour in between tending the vineyard.

然而到了盛夏时节，一切却出了岔子。

But then in the middle of summer, everything went wrong.

起初，厚重的乌云涌来，像一条灰色的厚毯子一样铺满了天空。

First, heavy clouds rolled in and stretched across the sky like a thick gray blanket.

天哪。

Good grief.

葡萄每天需要六个小时的阳光才能正常成熟。

The grapes need six hours of sun a day to ripen properly.

这阴沉沉的天可不行。

These cloudy skies won't do it all.

但天色愈发阴沉，云层越来越厚、越来越灰，紧接着倾泻下连绵不绝的大雨。

But the cloudy skies just got cloudier, growing thicker and grayer before unleashing a nonstop torrent of rain.

天哪。

Good gracious.

葡萄要是喝太多水，就会膨胀、裂开，最后腐烂。

If the grapes get too much water, they'll swell, then split, then rot.

这场雨肯定帮倒忙了。

This rain is definitely not helping things.

雨终于停了，但尼古拉的麻烦还没完，接着葡萄园里又爆发了毛毛虫灾害。

The rain eventually subsided, but Nicola's troubles didn't because then the vineyard was infested by caterpillars.

天哪。

Good golly.

那些讨厌的寄生虫正在啃食藤蔓和果实。

Those pesky parasites are nibbling up the vines and fruits.

等到收获的时候，我恐怕几乎颗粒无收。

Come harvest time, I'll hardly have a harvest at all.

事实证明，尼古拉说得没错。

As it turns out, Nicola was right.

到了秋天，该摘葡萄的时候，几乎没什么葡萄可摘了。

Come autumn, when it was time to pick the grapes, there were barely any grapes to pick.

天哪。

Good gravy.

我在这些葡萄藤间走了好几个小时了。

I've been walking up these rows of vines for hours.

虽然我摘到了一些甜甜的紫葡萄，但整季的收成连一篮子都装不满。

And while I've managed to pick some sweet purple grapes, the whole crop barely fills one basket.

不过，尼古拉现在只能靠自己了。

Still, Nikola was on his own now.

就像他父母当年一样，他知道自己必须谋生。

And just like his parents before him, he knew he must make a living.

或者说，尽力谋生吧。

Or do my best to make a living.

我要把这篮葡萄拿到市场上去，看看能卖多少钱。

I'll take this basket of grapes to the marketplace and see what I can sell.

尼古拉斯到的时候，市集里热闹极了，逛街的顾客和卖货的商贩到处都是。

The marketplace was buzzing with shoppers shopping and vendors vending when Nicolas arrived.

他穿过人群，路过橄榄农的摊位，摊上摆满了饱满发亮的橄榄。

Weaving his way through the crowd, he passed the olive grower whose kiosk was bursting with plump, shiny olives.

他又看到卖坚果的摊子，那里堆满了油亮亮的棕色杏仁和栗子。

He saw the nut seller whose stall was filled with glossy brown almonds and chestnuts.

果园主那儿有好多苹果。

The orchardist had plenty of apples.

养蜂人的蜂蜜也满满当当。

The beekeeper had plenty of honey.

每一个摊主看起来都是大丰收。

Every vendor seemed to have had a bountiful harvest.

除了我。

Except for me.

不过，我还是得把这篮葡萄卖出去。

Still, I've got to sell this basket of grapes.

不然的话，冬天就得挨饿了。

Otherwise, it'll be a long, hungry winter.

尼古拉斯举起篮子，尽力招揽生意。

Nicolas held up his basket and did his best to drum up business.

葡萄出售。

Grapes for sale.

新鲜饱满的葡萄出售。

Plump ripe grapes for sale.

数量虽然不多，但味道可是相当浓郁。

Their number may be small, but their flavor is mighty.

可惜，那些顾客根本就没注意到他。

Unfortunately, the shoppers paid him no mind.

他们只是匆匆走过，手里都提着其他摊位的盒子和袋子。

They just bustled past, their arms loaded with boxes and bags of other vendors' wares.

天哪。

Good grief.

没人愿意买我的葡萄。

Nobody wants to buy my grapes.

我本想让我爸妈为我骄傲，可是虽然我很爱家里的葡萄园，但也许我还太年轻，独自种好葡萄太难了。

I wanted to make my parents proud, but even though I love the family vineyard, maybe I'm too young to grow grapes on my own.

也许我该干脆认输，直接放弃算了。

Maybe I should just throw in the towel and quit.

尼古拉垂下头，转身准备离开。

Nikola hung his head and turned to leave.

但就在这时，

But just then

哦，真对不起。

Oh, I'm so sorry.

尼古拉抬起头，才发现自己撞到了一位老妇人。

Nikola looked up and realized he had bumped into an old woman.

没关系，年轻人。

That's all right, young man.

不用道歉。

No need to apologize.

你看起来心不在焉的，好像魂儿都飘到九霄云外去了。

You seem like you're distracted, like your head is in the clouds.

这位老妇人的头发白得像雪一样，饱经风霜的脸上布满了皱纹。

The woman's long hair was white as sugar, and her weathered face was crisscrossed with wrinkles.

她佝偻着背，身子弯得像个大问号，身上那件破旧的裙子补丁摞补丁，还到处是破洞。

Her hunched back was curved like a question mark, and her ragged dress was patched and torn.

其实，我脑子里乱糟糟的，但可不是那种漂亮蓬松的白云。

Actually, my head is in the clouds, but they're not the pretty white puffy clouds.

而是那种沉甸甸、乌云密布的暴风雨云。

They're the heavy gray stormy ones.

哦，请多说说。

Oh, tell me more.

唉，今年我失去了父母，继承了他们的葡萄园，夏天的收成简直惨不忍睹。

Well, after I lost my parents this year, I inherited their vineyard, and the summer was brutal on the harvest.

我拼了命地干活，但最后就只剩下这一小篮葡萄。

I worked my tail off, but all I have to show for it is this measly basket of grapes.

听到这个我很难过，年轻人，也为你的父母感到难过。

I'm awfully sorry to hear that, young man, and I'm awfully sorry about your parents.

我不想给你添麻烦，但我现在处境艰难，连买吃的钱都没有。

I don't wish to add to your troubles, but I've fallen on hard times, and I haven't a penny to feed myself.

我在这个市场里四处求助，但大家要么不理我，要么把我赶走。

I've been wandering around this marketplace asking for help, but everyone has either ignored me or turned me away.

所以我想问问，你能不能分我一些葡萄？

So I wonder, might you spare some of your grapes?

尼古拉斯低头看了看自己的篮子。

Nicolas looked down at his basket.

葡萄这么少，要卖的话，他根本送不起。

With so few grapes to sell, he couldn't afford to give any away.

但当他抬头看那位老妇人时，他的心软了下来。

But when he looked up at the old woman, he felt his heart soften.

夫人，您尽管吃我的葡萄吧。

You're more than welcome to eat some of my grapes, madam.

想吃多少就吃多少。

As many as you'd like.

您确定吗？

Are you certain?

您不需要靠卖这些葡萄来维持生计吗？

Don't you need to sell these grapes so you can make a living?

尼古拉斯耸了耸肩。

Nicolas shrugged.

我想，与其自己留着，不如在别人需要的时候帮一把，让别人开心一下。

I guess I'd rather make someone else's day by helping them in their time of need.

所以，请自便吧。

So please help yourself.

那位老妇人的脸上露出了笑容。

The woman's face crinkled into a grin.

她伸出一只布满老茧的手，从篮子里摘下一串紫葡萄，开始吃了起来。

She reached a weathered hand into the basket, plucked out a bunch of purple grapes, and began to eat.

哇，真好吃。

Oh, so tasty.

尼古拉看着那个女人狼吞虎咽地吃着葡萄，随着每一颗果实下肚，奇妙的事情发生了。

Nicola watched the woman devour the grapes, and with every piece of fruit she ate, something began to happen.

那景象太令人惊讶、太出乎意料，简直不可思议，让尼古拉都不敢相信自己的眼睛。

Something so surprising, so unexpected, and so utterly impossible that Nikola could hardly believe his eyes.

大家猜猜，那位老妇人吃下葡萄之后会发生什么？

What do you think happened as the old woman ate the grapes?

我们稍作休息，马上揭晓答案。

We'll find out after a quick break.

一百年后，在遥远的地方。

One hundred years from now in a land far, far away.

等一下。

Hang on.

其实离得并不远。

It's not so far away at all, actually.

欢迎回到Circle Round节目。

Welcome back to Circle Round.

我是Rebecca Scheer。

I'm Rebecca Scheer.

今天我们要讲的故事叫《Crocus Pocus》。

Today, our story is called Crocus Pocus.

在广告之前，我们提到一位年轻的葡萄种植者Nikola继承了他父母的葡萄园。

Before the break, a young grape grower named Nikola inherited his parents' vineyard.

他刚接手的第一年，事事都不顺。

During his first season in charge, everything went wrong.

到了收获的季节，他去集市上能卖的只有一筐葡萄，他还大方地送给了一个穷苦的老太太。

And come harvest time, all he had to sell at the marketplace was one basket of grapes, which he generously offered to a poor old woman.

老太太大口吃着葡萄，你猜怎么着？

And as she devoured the fruit, do you know what happened?

她那一头白发渐渐变黑，佝偻的背也直了起来，衣服上的补丁和破洞也不见了。

Her long white hair grew dark, her curved back grew straight, and the patches and tears in her dress disappeared.

尼克还没来得及反应，眼前就站着一位年轻女子，高高瘦瘦，光彩照人。

Before Nicola knew it, standing tall and radiant before him was a young woman.

她的头发乌黑得如同午夜，漂亮的裙子上缀满了蕾丝。

Her hair as black as midnight, her beautiful gown dripping with lace.

尼克，

Nicola,

你把自己最后一点葡萄送给了需要帮助的人，这足以证明你是个真正心存善念、乐善好施的年轻人。

by giving your very last grapes to a soul in need, you've proven that you are a truly compassionate and generous young man.

尼克一时说不出话来。

Nicola fought to find his voice.

我……我只是做了应该做的事，女士。

I I was just doing the right thing, ma'am.

换作我父母，他们也会这样做的。

It's what my parents would have done.

可是等等，你怎么知道我的名字？

But wait, how did you know my name?

那不重要，尼古拉。

That matters not, Nikola.

但你帮了我，我也想为你做点什么。

But now that you've done something for me, I wish to do something for you.

女人指了指那篮葡萄。

The woman motioned toward the basket of grapes.

奇怪的是，篮子里的葡萄还是满满的，好像一颗都没少。

Somehow, it was every bit as full as it was before, as if no fruit had been eaten.

回到你的葡萄园去吧，尼古拉。

Go back to your vineyard, Nicola.

然后把篮子里的葡萄种到地里。

Then take the grapes in this basket and plant them in the ground.

之后，就等着收获你的回报吧。

After that, enjoy your reward.

话音刚落，一道光闪过，女人就消失了。

With that, there was a flash of light, and the woman was gone.

天哪。

Great heavens.

太不可思议了。

That was wild.

尼古拉环顾了一下集市。

Nikola glanced around the marketplace.

他以为人群会蜂拥过来，不停地问他刚才那奇迹般的一幕是怎么回事。

He assumed a crowd would come scurrying over, peppering him with questions about the miraculous event that just took place.

但大家都继续忙自己的事，好像什么都没发生过一样。

But everyone continued about their business as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred.

好的。

Okay.

所以那个女人说让我把葡萄种下去。

So the woman said I should take my grapes and plant them.

不过咱们得面对现实。

But let's get real.

我父母教我的第一件事就是，你没法用整颗葡萄种出葡萄藤。

One of the first things my parents taught me is that you can't grow a grapevine from a whole grape.

你得从现有的藤蔓上剪下一段枝条，然后再把它种下去。

You snip a cutting from an existing vine, and then you plant that.

直接种一颗葡萄还指望有收获，这想法太荒谬了。

Planting a grape and expecting results is preposterous.

但话说回来，遇见一个老太太突然变成年轻女子然后凭空消失，这种事本身就更离谱了。

But then so is meeting an old woman who magically transforms into a young woman before vanishing into thin air.

尼古拉斯提着篮子回到了他的葡萄园。

Nicolas took his basket and returned to his vineyard.

然后他非常小心地把每一颗紫葡萄种进了土里。

Then very carefully, he planted each purple grape in the ground.

第二天早上，他一醒来走到外面，下巴差点没掉地上，差点被自己绊倒。

The next morning, when he woke up and came outside, his jaw dropped so low, he nearly tripped over it.

我的天哪。

Goodness gracious.

昨天我种下的每一颗紫葡萄，现在都长出了一朵紫色的花。

For every purple grape I planted yesterday, there now grows a purple flower.

这是真的。

It was true.

田野里到处都冒出了那种小杯状的花，也就是我们常说的番红花。

Sprouting up all over the fields was the little cup shaped flower known as the crocus.

尼古拉斯跪下来，想看得更清楚些。

Nicola knelt down to get a closer view.

你瞧。

Look at that.

每朵花的柱头，就是中间那部分黏黏的、用来收集花粉的地方，是鲜红色的，闻起来特别香。

The stigma of each flower, the sticky part in the middle that collects pollen, is bright red, and it smells so sweet.

他把鼻子凑进一朵花里，深深吸了一口气。

He dipped his nose inside a flower and took a whiff.

柱头轻轻碰了他的嘴唇一下，突然之间，他的嘴里涌起了一股令人惊艳的味道。

The stigma brushed against his lips, and suddenly his mouth was bursting with a remarkable flavor.

尝起来甜甜的，像蜂蜜一样，又新鲜，像刚割下的干草花。

It tastes sweet, like honey, and fresh like flowers of newly mown hay.

我敢打赌，如果我摘一大堆柱头晾干，肯定能卖一种很棒的香料。

I'll bet that if I picked a whole bunch of stigmas and let them dry, I could sell a pretty amazing spice.

尼古拉开始采摘番红花，晾干它们的柱头。

Nicola got to work picking crocuses and drying their stigmas.

几天后，他回到了集市。

After a few days, he returned to the marketplace.

他又一次经过了种橄榄的、卖坚果的、种果树的，还有养蜂人。

Once again, he passed the olive grower, the nut seller, the orchardist, and beekeeper.

只不过这次，他带的不仅仅是一篮葡萄。

Only this time, he was bearing more than a basket of grapes.

他带了几十个小瓶子，每个都装满了他的新香料。

He was carrying dozens of tiny bottles, each one filled with his brand new spice.

卖香料啦。

Spice for sale.

异域香料，出售。

Exotic spice for sale.

比你们尝过的任何东西都要香甜新鲜。

Sweeter and fresher than anything you've ever tasted.

不一会儿，尼古拉就被一群好奇的顾客围得水泄不通。

Within moments, Niccolo was surrounded by a gaggle of curious customers.

只需闻上一闻，大家纷纷掏出钱包和钱袋，开始往尼古拉手里塞硬币。

Just one sniff of the spice, and all of them reached into their purses and wallets and began showering Nikola with coins.

谢谢您的购买，先生。

Thank you for your purchase, sir.

跟您做生意很愉快，女士。

Pleasure doing business with you, ma'am.

希望您喜欢这款香料，小姐。

Hope you enjoy the spice, miss.

到了傍晚，尼古拉斯的瓶子都卖光了，手里攥着一大把硬币。

By day's end, Nicolas was out of bottles and flush with coins.

原来他种的是长柱头番红花，也就是能产出藏红花的品种。这种香料极其珍贵，在食品、饮品、药物和染料中都有广泛应用，因此名声大噪。

Because as it turns out, the crocuses he had grown were long flowered crocuses, the species that produces saffron, a highly prized spice that's become famous for its use in foods, drinks, medicines, and dyes.

不过，藏红花的名气不仅仅来自于它的用途。

But saffron isn't just legendary for its uses.

它更出名的是它的价格。

It's legendary for its price.

藏红花是世界上价格最昂贵的香料。

Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world.

所以你可以想象，年轻的尼古拉突然就过上了衣食无忧的生活。

So as you can imagine, our young Nikola suddenly found himself set for life.

不过，他依然努力工作，种植紫色的番红花和葡萄，从此再也不为生计发愁了。

Still, he continued working hard, growing his purple crocuses and purple grapes, and he never knew want again.

这就说明，当你让同情心、善良和慷慨在心底生根发芽、绽放光彩时，奇迹就会发生。

Which just goes to show you, amazing things can happen when you let compassion, kindness, and generosity take root inside your heart and bloom.

现在轮到你了。

Now it's your turn.

有哪些小方法可以对别人表达善意呢？

What are some small ways you can show kindness to others?

想一个简短或很长的清单，然后找些纸，画一个花园的图。

Brainstorm a short or long list, then find some paper and draw a picture of a flower garden.

在每朵花里面，写上“我可以”，然后加上你清单里的一个善举。

Inside each flower, write the words I can, followed by an act of kindness from your list.

把你的善意花园展示给一个你玩得开心的人看。

Show your kindness garden to someone you have fun with.

如果你愿意，也可以展示给我们看。

And if you'd like, show it to us.

请大人帮你拍一张你和花园的照片，然后发邮件到circlearound@wbur.org。

Ask a grown up to snap a photo of you and your garden and email it to circlearound@wbur.org.
