The explanation lies in the two different ways that "fruit" is defined. First, it is true that scientifically speaking, tomatoes are fruits. 对“fruit（水果，果实）”的定义有两种不同说法。首先，从科学角度讲，番茄的确属于果实。 According to Merriam-Webster, a fruit is "the usually edible reproductive body of a seed plant." In a blog post, the dictionary explained it in simpler terms: "Any thing that grows on a plant and is the means by which that plant gets its seeds out into the world is a fruit." 根据《韦氏词典》，果实通常指“种子植物的可食用繁殖体”。《韦氏词典》博客上的一篇文章给出了更简单的释义：“果实是长在植物上、能够将植物种子带到外面的部分。” |
