《我们制作枫糖浆》 作者：凯伦·莫克勒 插画：琳达·皮尔斯

This is my family. Every March, we make maple syrup.

这是我的家人。 每年三月，我们都会制作枫糖浆。

Real maple syrup comes from maple sap. Sap is the juice in trees. It's sort of like the blood in us.

正宗的枫糖浆来自枫树的树液。 树液就是树木里的汁水哦。 它有点像我们身体里的血液呢。

March is a good time to get the sap. It's still cold outside, but we wear our boots and hats. We go out to the woods behind my grandparents' home. We look for maple trees.

三月是采集树液的好时节。 外面还很冷，不过我们穿好了靴子、戴上了帽子。 我们走到爷爷奶奶家后面的树林里。 我们要找枫树哦。

To tap a tree, we drill a hole.

要给树木开孔采液，我们得先钻一个小洞。

We push a spout in the hole. Then we hang a bucket under it to get the sap. We tap the big trees. Big trees have the most sap.

我们把出液管插进小洞里。 然后我们在管子下面挂一个桶接树液。 我们只给大树开孔采液。 大树的树液是最多的。
