    示範例句 · Example

    Leo picked a handful of berries and dropped them into his bowl.

    逐字里歐摘了一把莓果，然後把它們丟進他的碗裡。

    berry 指的是「小小的、軟軟的、裡面有小種子」的果子，草莓、藍莓、覆盆子都算。中文平常說「莓果」，講植物分類時才說「漿果」。可以想成：英文把這一整群又小又多汁的果子放進同一個籃子裡，所以很多水果的名字後面都掛著 -berry（strawberry、blueberry、raspberry）。berry 可數，一顆是 a berry，一把是 berries——因為它們是一串一串長在樹叢上，所以你最常看到的是複數 berries。

core核心畫面

You can picture a berry as a small, soft, round fruit you could hold several of in one hand — the kind that grows in clusters on a bush, with tiny seeds inside rather than one big stone. Strawberries, and raspberries are the everyday examples, and many kinds are good to eat.

可以想成一顆小小軟軟、一把可以抓好幾顆的圓果子：長在灌木叢上、一串一串的，咬下去裡面是細小的籽，而不是一顆大果核——這點正好把它跟桃子、李子那類分開。草莓、藍莓、覆盆子就是最日常的例子，很多種都能直接吃。
