酪梨背後的意義會讓你以不同的方式看待這種水果

如果沒有其關鍵成分——不起眼的酪梨，你根本無法製作一碗酪梨醬。這種綠色的東西與美味的玉米片甚至沙拉完美搭配

The humble avocado is a key ingredient in guacamole, a delicious dip that pairs well with nachos or salad. To celebrate National Guacamole Day on September 16, here's a fun fact:

不起眼的酪梨是酪梨醬的關鍵成分，酪梨醬是一種美味的蘸醬，與玉米片或沙拉搭配得很好。為了慶祝 9 月 16 日全國酪梨醬日，這裡有一個有趣的事實：

The word "avocado" is believed to have originated from the Nahuatl word for testicle, due to the fruit's shape and the fact that it grows in pairs.

「酪梨」這個詞被認為起源於納瓦特爾語中睪丸的意思，因為這種水果的形狀和它成對生長的事實。

The Aztecs called the fruit "aoacatl," which was transliterated into “āhuacatl.” This essentially means "testicle" in Nahuatl.

阿茲特克人將這種水果稱為“aoacatl”，音譯為“āhuacatl”。這在納瓦特爾語中本質上是「睪丸」的意思。

In a TikTok video, user @leksesapp, with 302,000 followers, shared this interesting fact. He explained that the Nahuatl language, spoken by about 1.5 million people in modern-day Mexico and Central America, was spoken in Mesoamerica, where the Aztecs discovered the avocado around 500BC.

在 TikTok 影片中，擁有 302,000 名追蹤者的用戶@leksesapp 分享了這個有趣的事實。他解釋說，納瓦特爾語在現代墨西哥和中美洲約有 150 萬人使用，中美洲也使用納瓦特爾語，阿茲特克人於公元前 500 年左右在那裡發現了酪梨。

He said, "The Aztecs discovered the avocado around 500BC and named it based off of, well you could probably guess, its shape and texture, and the fact that it grows in pairs."

他說：“阿茲特克人在公元前 500 年左右發現了鱷梨，並根據（你可能猜到了）它的形狀和質地以及它成對生長的事實來命名它。”

"So of course, it was only natural to name the food based off what it looks like. It gets better too, the word molli in the Nahuatl language literally translates to sauce, so people speculated guacamole also translated to testicle sauce."

「當然，根據食物的外觀來命名食物是很自然的。它也變得更好，納瓦特爾語中的molli這個詞字面意思是醬汁，所以人們推測鱷梨醬也可以翻譯成睾丸醬。 」

However, language specialists have debunked this claim due to the Spanish derivation of the word.

然而，由於該詞源自西班牙語，語言專家駁斥了這一說法。

The video has garnered 1,600 likes and hundreds of comments. Some viewers expressed surprise and amusement, while others shared their own insights about the Nahuatl language andavocado lore.
