Synonyms & Differences 近义词辨析

Compared meaning: the soft, juicy inside part of a fruit (noun).

比较义项:水果内部柔软多汁的部分(名词)。

  • flesh

    Flesh is the general, slightly formal term for a fruit's edible interior beneath the skin; it describes texture or color neutrally, without implying mushiness.

    flesh是较为通用、略偏书面的说法,指果皮之下可食用的部分,用来中性地描述质地或颜色,并不暗示黏软的口感。

    The mango's flesh was smooth and sweet under the skin.

    芒果皮下的果肉细腻香甜。

  • pulp 本词

    Pulp highlights a wet, soft, often mushy or crushed texture, and is frequently used alone as a mass noun for what remains after squeezing or mashing fruit.

    pulp强调湿润、柔软、常常黏糊或被压碎的质感,也常单独作为不可数名词,指挤压或捣碎水果后剩下的东西。

    He squeezed the orange until only pulp and juice remained.

    他把橙子挤压到只剩下果肉和果汁。

Flesh and pulp both mean the soft part of a fruit under the skin. Flesh is neutral, describing texture or color without implying mushiness. Pulp stresses a wet, soft, mushy texture, often after squeezing. Flesh meaning body and pulp meaning paper are not compared.

这两个词都可以指水果里柔软的果肉部分,但语气和典型用法不同:flesh偏中性、书面,泛指果皮之下的可食用部分,不特别强调质地黏软;pulp则强调湿润、软烂甚至被挤压捣碎后的质感,常单独作不可数名词使用。这里不比较flesh的“人体、动物的肉/肉体”义项,也不比较pulp的“纸浆”或“打得稀烂(beaten to a pulp)”等义项。
