Step1

1. Basic pumpkin carving kit: knife for removing the lid, scissors, felt-tip pen, scraper, two saws, drill, pointer.
南瓜雕刻基本工具：用来去掉南瓜顶的小刀，剪刀，粗签字笔，刮刀，两块锯片，锥子，钻孔器

Step2

2. Removing the lid. Trace a square or hexagon with a felt-tip pen along the top of the pumpkin, an inch or two from the stalk. Using a fiercely sharp knife with the blade pointing away from you, cut along those lines, into the flesh. Angle the knife slightly inwards: if you cut down vertically, the lid might fall into the pumpkin.
去掉南瓜顶。用粗签字笔在南瓜顶部划一个半径1到2英寸的方形或六角形，用锋利的刀片沿着画好的线切下去。让刀口有一定向内的角度——如果你垂直着切，顶部就会掉到南瓜里面。

Step3

3. Remove the lid and scoop out the seeds and flesh – you can either keep the seeds for eating (roast for 20 minutes at 180C, tossed in olive oil, seasoning and spices) or use them as a vomity accessory for your final pumpkin.
拿走南瓜顶，将种子和肉挖出来——你也可以吃了这些种子（在180度下烘烤20分钟，加点橄榄油，调味料和香料）或者作为你南瓜的呕吐物道具。

Step4

4. Tape a design to its surface and punch out dotted lines using your 'pointer'.
将你的图案贴在南瓜上，用钻孔器在上面打好点线。

Step5

5. When you punch through your design remember the more holes you make the more clearly you'll see the design when you remove the paper.
记住，当你移开设计图时，你打的洞越多你的图案就会越清晰。

Step6

6. Take your saw and cut along the lines through the flesh and into the pumpkin. The pieces should then punch out relatively easily.
用你的锯片沿着线切，那些南瓜片会很轻易地掉下来。

Step7

7. Finish by very carefully trimming off the skin over your pattern. Sharpen your knife again if you need to.
非常小心地从表面修去南瓜表皮，你可能需要把刀磨得快些。

Step8

8. Once the skin is removed, the design should stand out more clearly.
一旦南瓜的表皮被切掉，设计就会更清晰得显现。
