durian

【来源】
又是一个第三天。一时兴起查一下榴莲吧，顺便看看英美人民爱不爱它。

【查词】
首先，durian这个单词是百度来的，我事先并不认得。看过几出东南亚电影，看这字母组成、模拟一下发音，应该是个舶来词。
查collins，先拉到词源部分，果然。
Word origin of 'durian'
C16: from Malay, from duri thornnoun

具体解析
noun

1. a SE Asian bombacaceous tree, Durio zibethinus, having very large oval fruits with a hard spiny rind containing seeds surrounded by edible evil-smelling aril
2. the fruit of this tree, which has an offensive smell but a pleasant taste: supposedly an aphrodisiac

---

【感想】
"has an offensive smell but a pleasant taste"可以说相当中肯了。但是aphrodisiac什么鬼，一定是哪个贪吃鬼怕别人和他抢榴莲吧反正我是不信的
