中国的波尔多：酿酒商们将沙漠变成葡萄园 [英国媒体]

-------------译者：maggicqueen99-审核者：龙腾翻译总管------------



“This” says Emma Gao as she races through the sun-scorched countryside of north-west China in a dusty Nissan Livina “is la Route des Chateaux.”

艾玛.高开着她那辆满是尘土的日产骊威，奔驰在中国西北被阳光暴晒的乡间时说：“这是一条酒庄之路。”

“There are almost 40 different entrepreneurs – maybe more. Every day it is changing” the Chinese winemaker explains slaloming between French English and Mandarin as she tours her 70-hectare (170-acre) vineyard at the heart of a region government officials are calling China’s Bordeaux. 

“大概有40家不同的酒庄----也可能有更多。这个数字每天都在变化。”这个中国葡萄酒酿酒师一边自如地用流利的法语、英语和汉语解释，一边穿行在她位于被政府官员称为“中国的波尔多”的区域的中心地带中70公顷（170英亩）的葡萄园里。 

Gao a 40-year-old who trained at Bordeaux University’s oenology institute was one of the first vintners to set up shop in this arid corner of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region more than 600 miles west of Beijing. Armed with a 300000 yuan (￡32000) loan from her parents she founded Silver Heights her award-winning boutique winery almost a decade ago.

四十岁的高女士曾经在波尔多大学的酒类研究所进修，她是北京以西600多英里的宁夏回族自治区这个干旱角落里最早开店的第一批酿酒商。大概十年前，她从父母那里借了30万元（3.2万英镑），创立了她的获奖精品酒庄“银色高地”。

In 2012 she opened a vineyard on the stony eastern slopes of the Helan mountain wagering that its parched land could produce world-beating wines. “There was nothing” Gao recalls weaving through newly planted lots of cabernet sauvignon chardonnay marcelan and petit verdot.

2012年，她在贺兰山东麓的乱石间建了她的葡萄园，豪赌这块焦干的土地将出产世界第一流的葡萄酒。“当时什么都没有，”高的记忆在新种植的大批赤霞珠、霞多丽、马思兰和小维多间穿梭。

Four years on and a scramble for land is under way here as Chinese and international wine giants and super-rich would-be vintners follow Gao’s lead ploughing fortunes into Ningxia wineries.

四年里，国内和国际的葡萄酒巨头以及有意投资葡萄酒庄的超级富豪们，追随着高的葡萄种植掘金脚步，进入宁夏的葡萄酒制造行列，在这里开展了土地争夺战。

 Making wine uses very little water as this short article in grauniad shows:
 http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2013/jan/10/how-much-water-food-production-waste
 (Over 17 tons of water to produce a single kg of chocolate. Chocoholics please note you are destroying the planet. )

 葡萄酒制造几乎不使用水，如下方的grauniad网站中的短文所示：
 http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2013/jan/10/how-much-water-food-production-waste
（使用超过17吨的水仅能生产1kg的巧克力，嗜食巧克力的人请注意你们正在摧毁地球。）

They apparently have "sunshine like Avignon" but winters like Siberia. I had no idea vines could be "buried" during winter to protect them from the cold!!
Use of enormous amounts of water by the way is a problem for the whole planet not just China. We should question whether this is the best use of land.

他们明显有“如阿维尼翁（法国城市）的日照”但是冬天又像西伯利亚。我之前还真不知道在冬天的时候可以用“掩埋”的方式以防葡萄藤受到严寒天气的影响。
水资源的消耗不仅是中国的问题，这在全世界都是一个问题。

 Laugh all you want guys but everyone said the same thing about Japanese Whiskey before they started knocking the scots out the ball park. Now the Japanese are up their with the best.

 报道性文章强调一个中国鲜为人知的地区。
你们这些家伙尽情的笑吧，人们之前也如此鄙视过日本威士忌，后来日本威士忌将苏格兰威士忌挤出了市场，现在日本已经做到最好了。

 I don't think Japan has in any way knocked Scotch whisky 'out of the ballpark'.
 But in fairness any Japanese whiskies I have tried have been completely good.

我不认为日本以已经在任何方面把苏格兰威士忌“淘汰出球场”了。
但是公平地说，我试过的任何一款日本威士忌都非常棒。

 I've had some really good bottle of Helan Mountain Chardonnay was a little pricy but every bit as good as Chardonnay as I have had elsewhere

 我曾有过几瓶上品的贺兰山白葡萄酒，价钱有点小贵。这是和其他地方产的霞多丽白葡萄酒的口感一样好。

"China's Bordeaux: winemakers in 'gold rush' to turn desert into vineyards"
 The water supply would be an issue but there are known underground water resources. Better facilities to collect and keep the rain water may also help. The solar energy may also be abundant in such vast area with sunny weather all year around which can be harnessed in many ways.

“中国的波尔多：淘金热潮中酿酒商们将沙漠变成葡萄园”
水的供应是一个问题然而有已知的地下水资源。用更好地设备来收集和保存雨水也有些帮助。在这个一年四季都艳阳高照的广阔土地上，太阳能是非常充足的，可以对太阳能进行多样的利用。

To produce good wine you need good sunny weather when the grapes are ripening and you need a competent oenologist in charge of the whole process (from site sextion to bottling).
 Everything else is secondary. Of course the soil matters but not as much as you might think. If you look at the world's vineyards from Chablis to Napa valley you can see good wine produced in a huge variety of places varying from barren stony ground to rich alluvial soil.
 With good oenologists in charge (Gao reportedly trained at Bordeaux University’s oenology institute) there is no reason why Ningxia cannot produce excellent wine.

 为了生产优质的葡萄酒，在葡萄正在成熟之际你需要良好的晴朗天气。以及你需要一个称职的酿酒师负责整个过程。（从选址到瓶装）
其他一切是次要的。当然土壤也很重要但是不如你想的那么重要。如果你看过世界级的葡萄酒园从法国的沙布利到纳帕山谷，你就会知道好的葡萄酒的生产地是在五花八门，它们的不同从不毛的多石之地到富饶的冲积土。

I'll give it a try but honestly living in Europe gives us access to so many wines from Italy France Spain Portugal Germany Slovenia etc etc that we really dont need to import any. Perhaps after Brexit the UK voters may be convinced that Chinese wine is an excellent cheaper alternative to EU regulated wine.the Uk will be in an excellent negotiang position for that.
 
 我会尝一尝，但是老实说，住在欧洲，我们可以接触到来自意大利、法国、西班牙、葡萄牙、德国、斯诺文尼亚等很多国家的酒，我们不需要进口任何酒。也许，退出欧盟以后，英国的投票者们可以用物美价廉的中国酒替换欧盟监管的酒。英国会处在更加有利的谈判位置上。

Yes why get wine from 204 miles away when we can ship it halfway round the world.

是的，当我们可以从世界另一边进口酒品时，我们又何必从204英里外的地方买酒呢？
 
But hey fucking the environment is one of the biggest reasons for Brexit - no more tedious directives protecting things.

但是破坏环境是退出欧盟的最大原因之一，退出后，就没有允长的保护环境指令的限制了。

I live in Switzerland (surrounded by EU countries but not a member of the EU) and the best value wines in the local wine shops are often from Chile or Australia. The very best red wines are still from France but they're incredibly expensive; I can't afford the equivalent of ￡50/bottle for wine I drink every day. At price points below about the equivalent of ￡10/bottle you can get better quality from Chile than from France.

我住在瑞士（被欧盟国家所包围，但不是欧盟成员），当地葡萄酒店性价比最高的葡萄酒往往来自智利或澳大利亚。最好的红葡萄酒还是法国产的，可它们是天价；我每天喝点儿，付不起大致每瓶50欧元的钱买法国酒。单考虑价格的话，大概不到10欧元一瓶的葡萄酒，买智利产的质量比法国产的要好。

Is Aldi in Switzerland? You might want to try their French pinot noir in the UK that is insane value for ￡5.

瑞士有阿尔迪超市吗？你可能会想试试他们在英国卖的法国黑皮诺葡萄酒，那口感太棒了，才5欧元一瓶。

But if they're not buying vineyards in France they're going about this money laundering business the wrong way.

可是如果他们不在法国买葡萄园的话，那他们用经营葡萄酒洗钱的路子就跑偏咯。

It was only a matter of time - can't be worse than the ubiquitous Chinese 'Great Wall Wine'. Why do they have to pretend to be French to believe they can produce good wine though?

这只是时间问题----没什么比到处充斥中国产的“长城牌葡萄酒”更糟的了。为什么他们要假装法国人，相信自己能酿出好酒呢？

All the people who mock Chinese wine

所有嘲讽中国葡萄酒的人给我听着。
 
You are burying your heads in the sand. The Chinese are producing. They are making an effort. They are trying to better their products. They are trying to meet local demand by local production and they are exporting.

你们这群把脑袋埋到沙堆里的鸵鸟。中国人正在踏踏实实生产东西。他们很努力。他们在改进他们的产品。他们想要用本土产品满足本土市场，并且出口到国外。
 
Mock all you want but even if it makes you feel better it doesn't MAKE you better.

如果踩别人能让你们感觉爽一点的话，你们可以挖苦所有你们想挖苦的，可是踩别人不会让你们自己变得好一点！
