hothouse fruit 中文意思是什麼
hothouse fruit
解釋
溫室果實-
John no one thwarted, much less punished ; though he twisted the necks of the pigeons, killed the little pea - chicks, set the dogs at the sheep, stripped the hothouse vines of their fruit, and broke the buds off the choicest plants in the conservatory : he called his mother old girl, too ; sometimes reviled her for her dark skin, similar to his own ; bluntly disregarded her wishes ; not unfrequently tore and spoiled her silk attire ; and he was still her own darling
至於約翰，沒有人同他頂撞，更不用說教訓他了，雖然他什麼壞事都干：捻斷鴿子的頭頸，弄死小孔雀，放狗去咬羊，採摘溫室中的葡萄，掐斷暖房上等花木的嫩芽。有時還叫他母親「老姑娘」 ，又因為她皮膚黝黑像他自己而破口大罵。他蠻橫地與母親作對，經常撕毀她的絲綢服裝，而他卻依然是「她的寶貝蛋」 。
