要向老外介紹「仙草」時
如果用目前一些飲料公司或店家所寫的 mesona 這種植物正式的名稱
(比如「泰X仙草蜜茶」瓶身上寫的 mesona tea)
其實大部份的人還是不會知道它是什麼(除非剛好是植物專家)
(順道一提,原來仙草是薄荷家族的植物,難怪有清涼作用)
所以說在指仙草凍時,說 grass jellyherbal jelly 比較好
( herbal [ˋɝb!] 藥草的 (注意 h 不發音),jelly [ˋdʒɛli] 果凍 )
而「仙草茶」就可說是 herbal tea / grass tea
冬天吃的「燒仙草」是一種熱的甜湯,裡面有仙草凍
所以是 sweet soup with grass jelly / sweet soup with herbal jelly
夏天很多人愛吃的「仙草冰」就是 grass jelly / herbal jelly on shaved ice
( shaved ice [ʃevd aɪs] 就是「刨冰、剉冰」)
假設你的老外朋友比較好奇,或是你想炫耀一下
可以告訴他們:
The actual name of this plant is “mesona.” (這種植物的真正名稱是mesona [məˋsonə] )
It is a plant in the mint family. (它是薄荷家族的一種植物。)
We make jelly out of it by boiling it for hours and cooling the liquid.
(我們將它沸煮好幾小時後,再將熬好的汁液冷卻做成凍。)
