大千世界:你可能不知道的20种水果(上)

来源:译言 编辑:Richard   可可英语APP下载 |  可可官方微信:ikekenet

I was playing a game the other day, in which you have to come up with fruit that starts with every letter of the alphabet. Apple, banana, cherry…. and that is about where I hit a blank. My epic failure at this game made me do some research and what I discovered was a whole world of delicious looking fruit that I had never even known about! I was completely shocked to find that there are actually hundreds of different types of fruit (no need to include them all as omissions in the comments), most of which I had never even heard of. This list is not to rank the fruit, but rather just to inform you about them. The only fruit on this list I consider ranked is No: 1, as it deserves the spot, in clearly being the coolest fruit on the planet. How many of these exotically delicious fruit have you tried?

有一天,我正在打游戏,玩法是以字母表中的每一个字母依次开始,然后你必须想出某种水果。A——apple(苹果),B——banana(香蕉),C——cherry(樱桃)......然后在这我卡住了。这次游戏的“悲壮”失败促使我做了一些调查,这才发现,全世界有那么多长相甜美的水果,而我却闻所未闻!我震惊地发现,世界上竟有成百上千种不同类型的水果(这还不包括网友们在评论中指出我所遗漏的那些),而大多数我甚至从来都没听说过。以下列表并不是对水果排名,仅仅是为让你了解它们。列表中我唯一认真考虑的是排名第一的水果,排在这个位置,成为地球上最酷的水果,它当之无愧。这些奇特的美味水果,你又尝过多少?



20. Sugar AppleAnnona squamosa 番荔枝(拉丁名:Annona squamosa)

Sugar Apples or Sweetsop, is native to the tropical Americas, but is also widely grown in Pakistan, India and the Philippines. The fruit looks a bit like a pine cone, and are about 10 cm in diameter. Under the hard, lumpy skin is the fragrant, whitish flesh of the fruit, which covers several seeds inside, and has a slight taste of custard.
