喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A chokecherry is a North American tree or large bush that grows small, dark red or almost black fruits. They look a little like tiny cherries, but if you bite one fresh, your mouth hard — the juice is so sharp and drying that people say it “chokes” you. That is why it has this name: choke + cherry, from how harsh the fresh fruit feels. The berries are a poor snack off the branch, but after cooking, with plenty of sugar, they make jelly and syrup. Birds eat them. students will almost never meet this tree in real life; it belongs to woods and in Canada and the United States, not to a Taiwan fruit stall.

    稠李、苦櫻桃（北美一種又澀又酸的小果，台灣幾乎看不到）
