    示範例句 · Example

    Mei washed a bunch of grapes and put them in a bowl for everyone.

    逐字美洗了一串葡萄，把它們放進一個碗裡給大家。

    「grape」是一顆一顆圓圓的小果實，綠色或紫色，長在藤上，而且總是好幾顆連在同一根梗上。英文幾乎都用複數 grapes，因為一次吃的就是好幾顆；要講「一串葡萄」有固定說法 a bunch of grapes，單數 a grape 只有在指「單獨一顆」時才用。葡萄長的那株植物叫 vine（葡萄藤），所以 grape 講的是果實本身，不是那棵植物。

core核心畫面

You can picture one small round berry, green or dark purple, that almost never appears alone: it hangs in a heavy bunch on a climbing vine. It has two lives — eaten as it is, or dried into a — and a third one if you press it, because the juice inside is what wine is made from.

可以想成一顆小小的、圓圓的果子，綠色或深紫色，而且它幾乎不會單獨出現——總是一整串沉甸甸地掛在藤蔓上。它有兩種吃法：新鮮吃，或曬乾成葡萄乾；還有第三條路——榨出汁來，那就是釀酒的起點。
