- 1可連續採收(的沙拉菜);割了又長
In the garden, some salad plants — lettuce, , rocket, that kind of thing — you do not pull the whole plant out of the earth when you want leaves to eat. You snip or pick the outer leaves and leave the heart of the plant in the ground. It keeps living, and later it has grown more leaves for you. call that kind of plant cut-and-come-again. The name is almost a tiny instruction: you cut, and it comes again. You meet it on seed packets and in gardening talk, not in ordinary chat about dinner. Though actually, people also stretch it a little and say a cut-and-come-again crop, or a cut-and-come-again method — still the same idea: harvest without killing the plant. It is not the name of one vegetable. It tells you how you pick it.
「cut-and-come-again」形容一種沙拉菜,採收時只摘外側的葉子,讓植株中心留在土裡,它會繼續活著,過一陣子又長出新葉,可以再採。這個字多半出現在種子包裝和園藝的說明裡,日常聊晚餐時很少用到。
字面上它像一句指令:你割了,它又長回來。它說的是採收的方式,不是某一種蔬菜的名字。放在名詞前時,形式是「a cut-and-come-again + 名詞」,例如「a cut-and-come-again crop」(可以反覆採收的作物)。有時也會說「a cut-and-come-again method」,意思還是一樣:採收的時候不讓植物死掉。
組成cut + and + come again: you cut the leaves, and the plant comes again (grows more).
