问题 Of the fruits of the year I give my vote to the orange.
In the first place it is a perennial—if not in actual fact, at least in the greengrocer’s shop. On the days when dessert is a name given to a handful of chocolates and a little preserved ginger, when mace-doine de fruits(水果什锦)is the title bestowed on two prunes(李子干)and a piece of rhubarbs(大黄), then the orange, however sour, comes nobly to the rescue and on those other days of plenty when cherries and strawberries and raspberries(木莓)and gooseberries(醋栗)riot together upon the table , the orange, sweeter than ever, is still there to hold its own. Bread and butter, beef and mutton, eggs and bacon, are not more necessary to an ordered existence than the orange.
It is well that the commonest fruit should be also the best. Of the virtues of the orange I have not room fully to speak. It has properties of health giving, as that it cures influenza and establishes the complexion. It is clean, for whoever handles it on its way to your table, but handles its outer covering, its top coat, which is left in the hall. It is round, and forms an excellent substitute with the young for a cricket ball. The pip(果核)can be flicked at your enemies, and quite a small piece of peel makes a slide for an old gentleman.
But all this would count nothing had not the orange such delightful qualities of the taste. I dare not let myself go upon this subject. I am a slave to its sweetness. I grudge every marriage in that it means a fresh supply of orange blossom, the promise of so much golden fruit cut short. However, the world must go on.
选项
答案 一年四季的水果中，我最推崇柑橘。 首先，柑橘常年都有——即使不是在树上，至少在水果店是如此。有时，几块巧克力和一点蜜饯生姜就能名日餐后甜点，两块李子干加一片大黄便被冠以蔬果什锦之美名，这时仍带酸味的柑橘便慷慨救驾；其他时候，水果丰盛，樱桃、草莓、木莓、醋栗在餐桌上竞相争艳时，此时比往日更加甜美的柑橘依然能与它们势均力敌。对于人们的日常生活，面包和黄油、牛肉和羊肉、鸡蛋和成肉，都未必像柑橘那样不可或缺。 很幸运，这种最常见的水果恰恰是最好的水果。论其优点，难尽其详。柑橘有益健康，比如，它可以治疗流感，滋养皮肤。柑橘干净，因为不管是谁把它端上桌子，也只触到它的表皮，即其外衣，吃完后橘皮便被留在餐厅。柑橘是圆的，给孩子当板球玩再好不过。柑橘核可用来弹射你的敌人，一小片橘皮也能让一个老者滑个趔趄。 但是，如若不是柑橘的味道甜美可口，上述的一切便都不足取。我真不敢纵谈柑橘的美味。我拜倒在它的美味之下。每当有人结婚我便心生怨意，因为那就意味着一束鲜橘花——未来金黄果实的夭折。然而，人类总得继续繁衍。
