喜樂美語
  1. 1nA2/ˈmæŋɡoʊ/ · /ˈmæŋɡəʊ/芒果

    A fruit with a thin skin and sweet yellow flesh. It grows on trees in hot countries, and the soft sweet part is cut away from one large flat seed inside.

    示範例句 · Example

    Mei cut the mango into cubes and put them on top of her shaved ice.

    逐字美把那顆芒果切成方塊，然後把它們放在她的剉冰上面。

    mango 就是芒果：長在熱帶的水果，皮很薄，切開裡面是甜甜的黃色果肉，中間有一顆又大又扁的籽。英文裡每種熱帶水果都有自己的名字——papaya 是木瓜、guava 是芭樂、lychee 是荔枝——沒有一個統稱可以帶過，所以要一個一個記。整顆講的時候可數，複數是 mangoes（加 -es）；但當作口味或材料放在別的名詞前面時用單數：mango juice、mango ice、mango tree。

core核心畫面

One picture is enough here: a heavy, smooth-skinned tropical fruit you cut around — the sweet yellow-orange flesh comes away in slices while one big flat stone stays in the middle.

可以想成一顆熱帶樹上長出來的沉甸甸果實：皮薄光滑，剖開後是甜的黃橙色果肉，中間卡著一顆又大又扁的核，所以吃法通常是繞著那顆核把肉削下來。這個字只有這一個意思，不用擔心它會轉成別的東西。
