pomegranate

pomegranate 是10月18日值得一記的單字
故事是中餐的沙拉美不勝收 WWS夫婦難得拿出相機照一張
餐中並盤點其內容作記列出材料單 BILL OF MATERIAL
列到第12/13項有一晶瑩剔透的子他們無法說出稱為神秘之子
問主人知道是"石榴子"
她又說出一英文因為石榴石garnet 是她的收藏品

我知道它的英文是P開頭莎士比亞的作品引用過
然後David 用手機查出是pomegranate和 garnet
現在WWS夫婦終於知道所有的食材了

今天作林修二集

他有一首日文詩 Canna (美人蕉)的英文翻譯為
As I gaze at it so intently
the cannas's face turns red.
Showing its ruby teeth,
the pomegranate smiles.

再查一下

Pomegranates

The last word on pomegranates belongs, as did the first, to William Shakespeare:

Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day.
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear.
Nightly she sings on yon pomegranate-tree.
Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.
