    Our youngest daughter is a vegetarian.

    逐字我們最小的女兒是一個素食者。

    「vegetarian」是英文裡說「不吃肉也不吃魚的人」。許多 vegetarian 還會吃蛋和牛奶；若連這些也不吃，通常叫 vegan。點餐時很常用：I'm a vegetarian、Do you have dishes for vegetarians?。核心意思是「這個人選擇的食物裡沒有肉和魚」——後面 a vegetarian diet / vegetarian cooking，就像從這張畫面長出來。

core核心畫面

Picture someone reading a menu and quietly skipping past every line with meat or fish in it. The word does not describe one meal — it describes a standing choice about what this person eats, so it stays true whether they are at home, at a party, or on a plane.

可以想成：有人看著菜單，安靜地跳過每一行有肉、有魚的選項。vegetarian 講的不是某一餐，而是一個長期的選擇，所以不管在家、在派對，還是在飛機上，這個身分都跟著走。
