A blackberry is a small, dark fruit — black or deep purple when it is ripe — that grows on a thorny bush. The bush is a kind of bramble: long, arching stems with sharp points, often along paths, railway edges, and wild ground.

A blackberry黑莓 is a small, dark fruit是一種小小的深色果實——black or deep purple when it is ripe熟的時候是黑色或深紫色——that grows on a thorny bush長在多刺的灌木上。The bush這種灌木 is a kind of bramble是懸鉤子的一種：long, arching stems with sharp points莖長長的、彎彎的，上面有尖刺，often along paths, railway edges, and wild ground常常長在小路邊、鐵軌旁和荒地上。

The fruit is really a cluster of tiny juicy balls stuck together, not one smooth berry like a blueberry. Ripe ones taste sweet-sharp; unripe ones are red and sour.

The fruit這種果實 is really a cluster of tiny juicy balls stuck together其實是很多顆多汁的小球黏在一起，not one smooth berry like a blueberry不是像藍莓那樣單顆光滑的漿果。Ripe ones taste sweet-sharp熟的吃起來又甜又帶點酸；unripe ones are red and sour還沒熟的是紅色、很酸。

People pick them in late summer and eat them straight, or cook them in pies, crumbles, and jam, often with apple.

People pick them in late summer人們在夏末採收，and eat them straight直接吃，or cook them in pies, crumbles, and jam或是做成派、酥頂甜點和果醬，often with apple常常加蘋果一起做。

Though actually, the same word can be a verb: to blackberry is to go out picking the fruit (and blackberrying is the outing). The plant spreads easily and the thorns catch clothes, so a “nice walk to get blackberries” is often a scratched-arm walk.

Though actually不過其實，the same word can be a verb這個字也可以當動詞：to blackberry is to go out picking the fruitto blackberry 是出門去採這種果實（and blackberrying is the outingblackberrying 就是這趟採果之行）。The plant spreads easily這種植物很容易蔓延 and the thorns catch clothes刺又會勾住衣服，so a "nice walk to get blackberries" is often a scratched-arm walk所以一趟「去採黑莓的愉快散步」常常變成手臂被刮傷的散步。
