喜樂美語
  1. 1n/ˈɡɑːrlɪk/ · /ˈɡɑːlɪk/大蒜；蒜頭

    A plant that looks like a small onion, with a strong smell and taste. Cooks add it to food to give it that taste, and each small part of it is called a clove.

    garlic 就是我們說的「大蒜、蒜頭」——煮菜時加進去，讓味道變得很香、很強。英文裡 garlic 是不可數的，講的是「這種東西」，所以不說 a garlic。要數的時候可以想成「用它的部分來數」：一瓣叫 a clove of garlic（一瓣蒜），一整顆叫 a bulb of garlic 或 a head of garlic（一顆蒜頭）。跟 onion（洋蔥）比，onion 是可數的（an onion），garlic 不是——這是最常搞混的地方。

From the word’s history

From Old English gārlēac, literally 'spear-leek': gār 'spear' (for its tapering leaves) + lēac 'leek'.

源自古英文 gārlēac，字面是「矛＋韭蔥」，指它尖尖的葉子。

Wiktionary

Picture a small white bulb that looks like a tiny onion, wrapped in skin. Break it open and it falls apart into several curved pieces — each one is a clove. The smell is strong enough to stay on your fingers, and that smell is the whole point: cooks use it to put flavour into food.

可以想成一顆包著薄薄乾皮的白色小球，長得像縮小版的洋蔥。剝開來會散成好幾瓣彎彎的小塊，每一塊叫一個 clove（一瓣）。味道濃到會留在手指上，而那個味道正是它存在的理由——下鍋是為了把香氣帶進菜裡。
