One way to hold these two meanings together: the two words name a colour and a plant family, not a single object. Everything in the pepper family that has turned red can wear this name — the big sweet one you slice for a salad, and the small hot one that is dried and crushed into a jar. The words tell you the colour; the kitchen tells you which thing is on the table.
可以想成，red pepper 這兩個字只交代了「紅色的椒」，沒交代是哪一種。椒是一整個家族。紅色的成員裡，有厚厚甜甜、切開拌沙拉的那種，也有曬乾磨碎、裝在小罐裡的辣的那種。同一個名字，落在廚房的兩個位置上。真正幫你分辨的是句子裡的數量：數得出一顆兩顆，通常是蔬菜；只能說一點、一匙，通常是香料。
