A petal is a part of a flower. Most flowers have a ring of brightly colored petals surrounding the center part of the blossom.
花瓣是花的一部分。大多數花都有一圈顔色鮮豔的花瓣圍繞(rào)著(zhe)花的中心部分。
Petal comes from the Greek word petalon, meaning "leaf, thin plate." A petal is the lovely colorful leaf-like ring around the center of the flower, a thin plate for a fairy. The petals make up a flower’s corolla, surrounding the center. You can rip them off one by one as you say, “She loves me, she loves me not” until the last petal is picked. She loves me!
花瓣來自希臘語單詞petalon,意思是葉子,薄闆。花瓣顔色各異,像葉子一樣的形态圍繞在花的中心一圈。花瓣整體組成一個花冠,圍繞著(zhe)花的中心。經常有人會這麽一邊說“她愛(ài)我,她不愛(ài)我,她愛(ài)我,她不愛(ài)我...”,一邊一片一片地摘下花瓣,直到最後一瓣被摘下。
除瞭(le)“花瓣”是一瓣一瓣的,
常見(jiàn)的許多蔬菜水果也有類似的結構(gòu)
比方說
橘子剝(bō)皮後(hòu),呈現一瓣一瓣的
做菜常用的“蒜”也是一瓣一瓣的
這(zhè)些“瓣”的英文跟“花瓣”不同
英語中有對它們專門的單詞
