最近在美國突然紅起來的「枇杷膏」
在英文裡叫 loquat paste [ˋlokwɑt pest]
loquat就是枇杷，paste則是指膏狀、糊狀的東西v
不過老外不見得知道loquat是什麼
有些人會直接用音譯的pipa gao來稱呼枇杷膏
但這對於不懂中文的老外是沒有意義的
除非他已經先知道枇杷膏是什麼了

這時就可以跟他們說：It’s a small, pear-shaped Asian fruit with orange skin.至於loquat paste的功效，則可說：It soothes the throat. (它能舒緩喉嚨。)
(它是一種小小的、形狀像梨子，且外皮是橘色的亞洲水果。)

I’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
