喜樂美語
  1. 1nB1/ˈpaɪnæpəl/鳳梨

    a large tropical fruit with a rough yellow-brown skin and stiff pointed leaves on top, or the sweet juicy yellow food inside it.

    示範例句 · Example

    Mum cut the pineapple into chunks and put them in a bowl.

    逐字媽媽把那顆鳳梨切成塊，然後把它們放進一個碗裡。

    「pineapple」在台灣就是鳳梨。它可以指整顆水果（a pineapple、two pineapples，可數），也可以指切開後吃的那些黃黃的果肉，這時候前面不加 a，像 pineapple juice（鳳梨汁）、some pineapple（一些鳳梨）。這個字的畫面可以想成「一顆大大的松果」——英文早期的 pineapple 指的就是松果，後來的人看到這種外皮一格一格、頭上還長葉子的熱帶水果，就沿用了同一個字。

core核心畫面

Picture the whole thing on a market table: a heavy tropical fruit with rough, scaly yellow-brown skin and a crown of stiff pointed leaves on top. Cut it open and the outside is gone — what is left is the sweet, juicy yellow flesh you actually eat. The word covers both: the armoured fruit you carry home, and the yellow pieces on the plate.

可以想成市場攤子上那一整顆：熱帶水果，外皮粗糙、一格一格的黃褐色，頭上頂著一叢硬挺帶刺的葉子。切開之後外面那層就不見了，剩下的是甜、多汁、黃色的果肉。這個字兩邊都指——你搬回家那顆帶盔甲的整顆水果，和盤子裡那幾塊黃色的果肉。
