彼得斯顿蕃茄节
地方性遗产
蕃茄是水果，还是蔬菜？
40,000多人前来参加彼得斯顿的蕃茄节，一起庆祝彼得斯顿最爱的水果之一。是的，水果！虽然蕃茄不甜，但它是一种水果，而不是蔬菜。因为水果在科学上的定义为，任何含有植物种子的多肉物质。而蕃茄内有种子，所以它是水果；同理可证，黄瓜、青椒及南瓜都是水果。虽然我们常将以它们的食用方式，而将它们视为蔬菜。我们常认为水果是甜的，这是一个r便利的方式，帮助我们区分各式各样的食用植物。
不论蕃茄是蔬菜或是水果，它都是宾州彼得斯顿居民的最爱。您最爱吃的水果是那一样？
Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?
More than 40,000 people come to the Pittston Tomato Festival to celebrate one of Pittston's favorite fruits. That's right, fruits! Although the tomato is not sweet, it is a fruit rather than a vegetable. That's because science calls a fruit any fleshy material covering the seeds of a plant. The tomato has seeds inside, so it is a fruit -- so are cucumbers, green peppers, and squash. We often refer to them as vegetables, though, because of the way they taste. We tend to think of fruits as sweet; it's a handy way to distinguish between the different kinds of plants that we eat.
The people of Pittston, Pennsylvania, love the tomato, whether it is a fruit or a vegetable. What's your favorite fruit?
