秋天渐渐深了，是瓜果飘香的季节~

水果含有种子或核心，成熟后可生吃。一些最受欢迎、最美味的水果是热带水果，如菠萝、香蕉、芒果、木瓜和山竹。

There are also many delicious subtropical fruits that grow in slightly cooler climates like the Middle East. Olives, figs, dates and grapes have been eaten for thousands of years in the Middle East, either as fresh fruits or dried fruits like the various kinds of dried grape we now call raisins, sultanas and currants.

还有许多美味的亚热带水果生长在气候稍冷的地区，如中东。橄榄、无花果、枣和红提在中东已经有几千年的历史了。它们要么被用作新鲜水果，要么被用作干果，就像我们现在称之为葡萄干、小蓝莓干和黑加仑干果一样。

Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit are also subtropical fruits, famous for their high levels of vitamin C.

柑橘类水果，如橙子、柠檬、酸橙和葡萄柚，也是含有维生素的亚热带水果 C 而闻名。

瓜类是一种大而厚皮的水果，能在热带和亚热带气候中生长。最受欢迎的瓜类包括哈密瓜、白兰瓜和新鲜西瓜。

Fruits that can grow in even colder climates are called temperate fruits. They include apples and pears as well as stone fruits like apricots, plums, peaches, cherries and avocados.

能在寒冷天气下生长的水果称为温带水果。这些水果包括苹果和梨，以及核果，如杏子、李子、桃子、樱桃和鳄梨。

Berries are also temperate fruits, but they have many tiny seeds rather than one big seed like stone fruits. They are round and juicy and the most popular include strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and kiwifruit.

水果也是温带水果，但它们有许多小种子，而不是像核果那样的大种子。它们又圆又嫩，最受欢迎的是草莓、覆盆子、蓝莓和猕猴桃。

There is another very popular berry similar in size to the kiwifruit that most people think is a vegetable rather than a fruit. It's red, juicy and is used to make a sauce called ketchup. Do you know what it is?

还有一种非常受欢迎的水果，它的大小与猕猴桃相似。大多数人认为它是一种蔬菜而不是水果。它是红色的，新鲜的，用来做番茄酱。你知道那是什么吗？
