“花”是flower，那么“花瓣”的英文是什么？

petal

?

/?pet.?l/

any of the usually brightly coloured parts that together form most of a flower

通常構成鮮艷花朵的顏色的部分;花瓣

例：

rose petals

玫瑰花瓣

A petal is a part of a flower. Most flowers have a ring of brightly colored petals surrounding the center part of the blossom.

花瓣是花的一部分。大多數(shù)花都有一圈顏色鮮艷的花瓣圍繞著花的中心部分。

Petal comes from the Greek word petalon, meaning "leaf, thin plate." A petal is the lovely colorful leaf-like ring around the center of the flower, a thin plate for a fairy. The petals make up a flower’s corolla, surrounding the center. You can rip them off one by one as you say, “She loves me, she loves me not” until the last petal is picked. She loves me!

花瓣來自希臘語單詞petalon，意思是葉子，薄板。花瓣顏色各異，像葉子一樣的形態(tài)圍繞在花的中心一圈。花瓣整體組成一個花冠，圍繞著花的中心。經(jīng)常有人會這么一邊說“她愛我，她不愛我，她愛我，她不愛我...”，一邊一片一片地摘下花瓣，直到最后一瓣被摘下。

除了“花瓣”是一瓣一瓣的，

常見的許多蔬菜水果也有類似的結構

比方說

橘子剝皮后，呈現(xiàn)一瓣一瓣的

做菜常用的“蒜”也是一瓣一瓣的

這些“瓣”的英文跟“花瓣”不同

英語中有對它們專門的單詞

segment

/?seɡ.m?nt/

one of the small parts that a fruit such as an orange is naturally divided into

水果比方說橘子內(nèi)部分開的一部分;(水果)瓣

例：

The salad was decorated with segments of orange.

色拉上點綴了橘子瓣。

clove

/kl??v/

a small separate part of a bulb of garlic (= a plant used in cooking)

大蒜(一種用于烹飪的植物)生球莖狀部分里的分開的部分;蒜瓣

例：

This recipe takes four cloves of garlic.

這份食譜需要4瓣蒜。

今天的內(nèi)容都學會了么?
