      西瓜

      Watermelon

      · Everyday China

      如果你问一个中国人,怎么度过炎热的夏天,他的回答很可能是:在空调房里吃西瓜!

      没错,在中国,西瓜可是夏天必不可少的。有的人喜欢把西瓜用刀切成一片一片再吃,有的人则直接一整个西瓜一切两半,用勺子挖着吃。一边吃西瓜一边看电视(现在可能是一边吃西瓜一边玩手机了),别提有多舒服了!

      西瓜又便宜又好吃。小时候,一到夏天,就能看到农民伯伯把装满了西瓜的卡车停在居民区门口。他们会在西瓜上开一个三角形的小口,把这一小块西瓜拿出来,让买瓜的人先看看颜色、尝尝味道。如果觉得味道不错,就开始挑西瓜吧——用手拍拍西瓜,就像拍肚皮一样,如果发出“咚咚”的声音,那就说明这是个好西瓜。很多家庭会一次买上几十斤西瓜,卖家用麻袋装起来,帮忙扛到家里。

      除了吃西瓜,我们也会把西瓜汁放在冰箱里做成冰棍儿;或者把瓜皮削去最外面的一层,切碎了炒肉,就成为了一道菜;又或者,把西瓜籽晒干,当零食吃。当然,超市和小卖铺里也有卖现成的西瓜籽,如果你到一个中国人家里做客,他很可能也会用西瓜籽招待你呢!

      一些网络流行语也跟西瓜有关。猜一猜, “吃瓜群众” 是什么意思?请留言告诉我吧。
