The Plural of Tomato
番茄的复数
I was going through an exercise with my class on the formation of plurals. The answers were pretty routine until I came to the world tomato. "Can anyone tell me the plural of tomato?" I asked. One student's hand shot up. "Ketchup!" he announced proudly.
我正领着同学们练习复数的构成。他们回答得很正常，这时遇到了“番茄”这个单词。“你们能告诉我‘番茄’的复数吗？”我问。一个学生立刻举起手，“番茄酱！”他自豪地宣布道。
