香蕉是浆果，但草莓不是！？

Bananas are berries, but strawberries are not.

That sounds strange, right? But it's true. Scientists call a fruit a "berry" if it comes from a flower with one ovary and has seeds inside. Bananas fit that rule. So bananas are real berries.

Strawberries, on the other hand, come from a flower with more than one ovary. Their seeds are on the outside, not inside. So strawberries are not berries at all.

Other fruits that are berries but you may not know it: tomatoes, kiwis, and watermelons. Yes, watermelons are berries too!

So next time you eat a banana, you can say: "I'm eating a berry." And next time you eat a strawberry, just enjoy it — even if it's not a real berry.

香蕉是浆果，但草莓不是。

听起来很奇怪，对吧？但这是真的。科学家把一种水果称为“浆果”，如果它来自一朵只有一个子房的花，并且种子在里面。香蕉符合这个规则。所以香蕉是真正的浆果。

而草莓则不同，它来自一朵有多个子房的花。它的种子长在外面，而不是里面。所以草莓根本就不是浆果。

其他你可能不知道是浆果的水果还有：番茄、猕猴桃和西瓜。是的，西瓜也是浆果！

所以下次你吃香蕉时，可以说：“我在吃浆果。”下次吃草莓时，只管享受就好——即使它不是真正的浆果。
