Also called alligator pear 鳄梨树：一种热带美洲乔木，（美国鳄梨 鳄梨属） 有椭圆形或梨形果实，果皮坚韧，果肉黄绿色，核大 也作 alligator pear〔monounsaturated〕Of or relating to an organic compound, especially an oil or fatty acid, containing only one double or triple bond per molecule. Foods containing monounsaturated fatty acids may decrease the amount of LDL cholesterol in the blood and include olive, peanut, canola, and avocado oils.单不饱和脂肪酸：每一分子包含唯一的一个双键或三键的有机化合物的，尤其是油脂酸或脂肪酸的，或是与之相关的。含有单不饱和脂肪酸的食物可以降低血液中低浓度脂蛋白胆固醇的含量，包含橄榄油、花生油、菜籽油和鳄梨油〔avocado〕The history ofavocado takes us back to the Nahuatl (the language of the Aztecs) word ahuacatl, "fruit of the avocado tree" or "testicle.”The wordahuacatl was compounded with others, as inahuacamolli, meaning "avocado soup or sauce,” from which the Spanish-Mexican wordguacamole derives. In trying to pronounceahuacatl, the Spanish who found the fruit and its Nahuatl name in Mexico came up with aguacate, but other Spanish speakers substituted the formavocado for the Nahuatl word becauseahuacatl sounded like the early Spanish word avocado (now abogado ), meaning "lawyer.” In borrowing the Spanishavocado, first recorded in English in 1697 in the compound avogato pear ( with a spelling that probably reflects Spanish pronunciation),we have lost many of the traces of the more interesting Nahuatl word.词avocado 的历史将我们带回那瓦特尔语（阿兹特克人的语言）单词 ahuacatl， “鳄梨树的果实”或“睾丸”。单词ahuacatl 与其它词结合， 如ahuacamolli 表示“鳄梨汤或调味汁，” 西班牙-墨西哥语单词guacamole 即源于此。 当试图读出ahuacatl 时，西班牙人发现了鳄梨果实及其在墨西哥的那瓦特尔语名称并提出了 aguacate ， 但另一些讲西班牙语的人以avocado 替代了这个那瓦特尔语单词， 因为ahuacatl 的发音听起来象早期西班牙单词 avocado， （现在的 abogado ），表示“律师。” 英语中首次借用这个西班牙单词avocado， 记录于1697年，在复合词 鳄梨 （ 其拼写可能反映了西班牙语发音），我们已经失落了很多更有趣的那瓦特尔语单词的踪迹〔avocado〕The edible fruit of this tree.鳄梨：这种树的可食用果实〔guacamole〕A thick paste of mashed avocado, often seasoned with tomato, peppers, or other condiments and usually served as a dip or in salads.鳄梨调味酱：捣碎的鳄梨酱，常与番茄、辣椒或其它调味品混和在一起，用来做蘸酱或拌制沙拉〔guacamole〕ahuacatl [avocado] ahuacatl [鳄梨] |
