喜樂美語

Picture a pod split open in your hand with a row of small hard seeds inside. That seed is the bean — you can cook it, plant it, or roast and grind it. English also keeps a handful of old sayings built on the idea that a single bean is a very small, cheap thing.

可以想成：手裡剝開一個豆莢，裡面躺著一排小小硬硬的種子。那顆種子就是 bean——可以煮來吃、可以種下去，也可以烘過磨成粉。英文另外留著幾句老說法，用的是「一顆豆子很小、很不值錢」這個想法。
