When a plan, a project, or a long piece of work comes to fruition, it is finally done in the real world: people dreamed it, worked at it, often for a long time, and at last it happens.

Speakers almost always put it in come to fruition or bring something to fruition; you rarely meet the word standing alone. It feels careful and a bit formal — news, reports, speeches — not kitchen chat.

Speakers almost always put it in說話的人幾乎都會用 come to fruition come to fruition or或 bring something to fruition bring something to fruition; you rarely meet the word standing alone你很少看到這個字單獨出現。It它 feels careful and a bit formal給人一種謹慎、稍微正式的感覺 — news, reports, speeches新聞、報告、演講會用 — not kitchen chat不是廚房裡的閒聊。

Though actually, everyone hears fruit in it, and that is how we use it now: a plan that 'bears fruit'. The Latin start was closer to enjoyment, not to apples. Students will meet the 'finished after a long wait' sense, not the old 'enjoying something' sense.

Though actually不過其實, everyone hears大家都聽得出 fruit fruit 這個字 in it裡面有, and that is how we use it now而我們現在也是這樣用它的: a plan that 'bears fruit'一個計畫『結出果實bears fruit』。The Latin start這個字的拉丁文起源 was closer to enjoyment其實比較接近「享受」, not to apples跟蘋果沒什麼關係。Students學生 will meet會遇到的是 the 'finished after a long wait' sense「等了很久終於完成」這個意思, not the old 'enjoying something' sense而不是舊有的「享受某件事」的意思。
