Okay, the compass setting is all done.
好了，指南針設置好了。
What's next?
接下來做什么？
Oh, yeah, the Halloween you went as a lion and we learned how chocolate was made.
哦，對了，萬圣節前夕你扮成獅子，我們學到了巧克力是怎么做的。
That was a great night.
那是一個很棒的夜晚。
And there's another reason you want to pick that night, huh.
你想選那晚還有另一個原因。
You're right, squeaks!
你說得對，吱吱！
If you can travel to Halloween whenever you want, that does mean you get infinite free candy.
如果你可以隨時隨地去萬圣節旅游，那就意味著你可以得到無限的免費糖果。
That's actually pretty smart.
這實際上是相當聰明的。
Let's check out that episode and get to work on the machine.
讓我們看看那一集，然后開始準備機器。
Hi, guys, we just got back from trick-or-treating.
嗨，伙計們，我們剛從不給糖就搗蛋游戲回來。
Iowa is a scientist and squeaks is a lion.
愛荷華是一名科學家，吱吱是一頭獅子。
Give us your best roar, squeaks.
盡情咆哮吧，吱吱。
We got a ton of candy this year.
今年我們得到了一噸糖果。
Squeaks likes gummy worms but i like chocolate.
吱吱喜歡軟軟的蟲子，但我喜歡巧克力。
Where does chocolate come from?
巧克力是從哪里來的？
Great question, squeaks!
問得好，吱吱！
Believe it or not, chocolate grows on trees.
信不信由你，巧克力長在樹上。
The main ingredient in a chocolate bar starts out looking just like this.
巧克力棒的主要成分開始的時候看起來就像這樣。
I know they look nothing like this, chocolate bar or even the cocoa powder we put in hot chocolate.
我知道它們看起來不像這個，不像巧克力棒，甚至不像我們放在熱巧克力里的可可粉。
Those are actually beans and not just any beans.
這些實際上是豆子，而不是普通的豆子。
The beans that give us chocolate grow on the cacao tree.
給我們帶來巧克力的豆子長在可可樹上。
And it takes a lot of hard work to turn them into the type of chocolate that we can eat.
要把它們變成我們可以吃的巧克力，需要很多艱苦的工作。
You might think that any tree that helps us to make chocolate is pretty special and you'd be right.
你可能認為任何幫助我們做巧克力的樹都是非常特別的，你是對的。
Cacao trees are picky about where they like to grow because they need lots of heat and water.
可可樹對它們喜歡生長的地方很挑剔，因為它們需要大量的熱量和水。
So most cacao trees grow in a part of the world that's right in the middle where there are lots of warm wet rain forests.
因此，大多數可可樹生長在世界中部的一個地方，那里有很多溫暖的雨林。
Now even though the cacao tree needs lots of heat.
現在，盡管可可樹需要大量的熱量。
It doesn't do well in bright sun.
可可樹在烈日下不能很好地生長。
So the tree doesn't get too tall.
這樣樹就不能長得太高。
Instead it grows closer to the ground, where it can stay mostly in the shade that's made by taller trees.
相反，可可樹生長在離地面更近的地方，在那里它可以大部分時間呆在更高的樹形成的樹蔭下。
Like a lot of trees, the cacao tree makes flowers.
像許多樹一樣，可可樹也會開花。
Its flowers are white and they grow right along the main part of the tree.
它的花是白色的，它們沿著樹的主要部分生長。
Straight out of the bark, part of these flowers eventually grow into big pods.
這些花的一部分直接從樹皮中長出，最終長成大豆莢。
It can take six whole months for the pods to be ready. That's half a year.
豆莢可能需要整整六個月的時間才能準備好。那是半年的時間。
Once a cacao pod is ripe and ready a person cuts it from the tree using a sharp knife.
一旦可可豆成熟并準備好，人們就用尖刀把它從樹上切下來。
And when they open up the pod, it looks like this.
當他們打開豆莢時，它看起來是這樣的。
Can you see the beans?
你能看到豆子嗎？
Inside of each pod are about 50 cacao beans, along with a bunch of white stuff called pulp.
每個豆莢里有大約50顆可可豆，還有一堆白色的果肉。
People scoop out the beans and pulp from inside the pods.
人們從豆莢里挖出豆子和果肉。
Then put what they scooped out into big wooden boxes and leave everything alone for about a week.
然后把他們挖出來的東西放進大木箱里，讓所有東西都放在一邊大約一周。
During that week, the white pulp turns into liquid leaving behind the cacao beans which are then put into the sun to get nice and dry.
在那一周，白色的果肉變成液體，留下可可豆，然后把可可豆放在陽光下曬干。
Now, these beans may look brown like the chocolate you see in stores but they don't taste like that chocolate.
現在，這些豆子看起來可能是棕色的，就像你在商店里看到的巧克力一樣，但它們吃起來不像巧克力。
A cacao bean tastes pretty bitter.
可可豆嘗起來很苦。
And it takes some work in a chocolate factory to turn these beans into the delicious treats that we get to eat.
在巧克力工廠需要一些工作才能把這些豆子變成我們可以吃的美味佳肴。
At the factory, the first thing they do is to roast the beans in big ovens.
在工廠里，他們做的第一件事就是在大烤箱里烤豆子。
After cacao bean is roasted, it turns dark and looks like this.
可可豆烘烤后，顏色變黑，看起來是這樣的。
Next they take off the hard outside of the cacao beans leaving the soft insides.
接下來，他們把可可豆外面堅硬的部分去掉，留下里面柔軟的部分。
Then they smash and grind the inside until it's a thin paste.
然后他們打碎和研磨內部，直到它變得稀糊。
And we can do lots of different things with this paste.
我們可以用這種漿糊做很多不同的事情。
To make a chocolate bar, the chocolate factory mixes the paste with things like sugar and milk.
為了制作巧克力棒，巧克力工廠將這種糊狀物與糖和牛奶等物質混合在一起。
Then they stir the mixture for a long time and pour it into a mold which is kind of like a bowl.
然后他們攪拌混合物很長時間，然后把它倒入一個有點像碗的模子里。
That's specially shaped to look like a chocolate bar.
它的形狀特別像巧克力棒。
They leave the chocolate to cool for a while and become solid instead of all liquidy, then they take it out of the mold, wrap it up and send it to stores for us to buy.
他們把巧克力冷卻一段時間，變成固體，而不是液體，然后他們把巧克力從模子里拿出來，包裝好，送到商店供我們購買。
From a cacao tree to your store, that's a lot of work that goes into one piece of chocolate.
從一棵可可樹到你的商店，一塊巧克力需要做很多工作。
But i think it's worth it and now it's finally time to enjoy our Halloween treats.
但我認為這是值得的，現在終于到了享受我們的萬圣節美食的時候了。
Okay, squeaks, the Halloween setting is ready to go.
好了，吱吱，萬圣節的那天已經準備好了。
I have one more day in mind that i really liked.
我心里還有一天，我真的很喜歡。
The day we got back home to the fort from our research trip in Cahokia.
我們從卡霍基亞考察旅行回到堡壘的那一天。
That was a really great day, wasn't it?
那真是美好的一天，不是嗎？
It was so great to be back with all of our friends.
能和我們所有的朋友一起回來真是太棒了。
Do you want to add it?
是否要添加那一天？
Okay, let's get going and check out that episode while we're at it.
好了，我們現在就去看看那一集吧。
