If something is inedible, you cannot eat it — or you really should not. The usual reasons are that it tastes too bad, or that it would make you ill or even kill you.

If something is inedible如果某樣東西是inedible, you cannot eat it代表你不能吃它——or you really should not或者你真的不應該吃。The usual reasons are通常的原因是 that it tastes too bad它味道太差, or that it would make you ill或者會讓你生病 or even kill you甚至害死你。

A berry, a mushroom, or a plant can be inedible because it is poisonous. Food can also be inedible because it has gone off, or because it was cooked so badly that nobody can get it down.

A berry, a mushroom, or a plant漿果、菇類或植物 can be inedible可能是inedible because it is poisonous因為有毒。Food can also be inedible食物也可能是inedible because it has gone off因為壞掉了, or because it was cooked so badly或者因為煮得太糟 that nobody can get it down讓人根本吞不下去。

People say this about real food more than about things that were never food, like wood or plastic, though you will hear that joke too. It is a fairly ordinary adjective, a little more careful than just 'you can't eat that'.

People say this大家講這個字 about real food more than通常是指真正的食物，比較少用在 about things that were never food本來就不是食物的東西上, like wood or plastic像木頭、塑膠, though you will hear that joke too不過你也會聽到這種玩笑話。It is這 a fairly ordinary adjective是個相當普通的形容詞, a little more careful than just 'you can't eat that'比單純說「你不能吃那個」講究一點。

Though actually, some careful speakers like a split: they keep inedible for things that are not food, or that are unsafe, and they use uneatable when the cooking is just awful. In everyday talk, a lot of people use inedible for both, and listeners still understand.

Though actually不過實際上, some careful speakers like a split有些講究的人喜歡分開來用: they keep inedible for things that are not food, or that are unsafeinedible留給本來不是食物、或不安全的東西, and they use uneatable when the cooking is just awful煮得很難吃時則用uneatable。In everyday talk但在日常對話裡, a lot of people use inedible for both很多人兩種情況都用inedible, and listeners still understand聽的人也還是聽得懂。
