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」 。
