喜樂美語
  1. 1nA2/ˈbrɑːkəli/ · /ˈbrɒkəli/青花菜；綠花椰菜

    A green vegetable with one thick stem that splits into many short stems, like little branches. Each short stem holds a tight head of tiny green buds. People eat it cooked, and sometimes raw.

    示範例句 · Example

    Leo steamed the broccoli for eight minutes, until it was bright green and still a little crisp.

    逐字里歐把那些青花菜蒸了八分鐘，直到它變得鮮綠，而且還有一點脆。

    broccoli 就是綠色的那種花椰菜，台灣叫青花菜或綠花椰菜：一根粗莖分出很多短短的小枝，每根小枝頂端頂著一小球綠色的花苞。這個名字可以想成一根根「小釘子」——義大利文 brocco 是小釘子、小嫩芽，剛好就是那些短枝立起來的樣子。台灣口語只說「花椰菜」時，多半指白色的那種，英文是 cauliflower；綠的才叫 broccoli。它是不可數名詞，所以說 some broccoli、a head of broccoli，不說 a broccoli。

core核心畫面

Picture a small dark-green tree you can hold in one hand: one thick stem splits into several short branches, and each branch carries a tight head of tiny green buds packed close together. It feels firm and slightly rough. People mostly eat it cooked, sometimes raw.

可以想成一棵縮小到握得住的深綠色小樹：一根粗莖往上分成好幾根短枝，每根短枝頂著一團擠得密密麻麻的小花苞，摸起來硬硬粗粗的。整叢的形狀就是它最好認的地方——切開時也是連著莖一朵一朵分下來。多半是燙過、炒過才吃，偶爾也生吃。
