　　Avocado 鳄梨

　　Neil: Hello and welcome to BBC Learning English. I am Neil.

　　Yang Li: 大家好，我是 Yang Li. 今天我们要和大家聊一聊英国的一种热门水果，就是 鳄梨, 也叫牛油果。

　　Neil: Over the past few years we’ve seen more and more avocados in the UK market; a lot of people have grown to like them and think that the avocado is a super-food.

　　Yang Li: 在我们今天的节目中我们就会对这个被称为是超级食品的avocado进行一番深入研究。

　　Neil: Because of the colour a lot of people think the avocado is a vegetable but actually it’s a fruit.

　　Yang Li: Yes, it is a fruit. But why is the avocado so special? 我们为此特别采访 了 Susie Grant, 她就是著作《另类成熟》这本书的作者。

　　Well, I love them. First of all, they’re a fruit – not many people realise that they’re actually a fruit. They’re packed with vitamin E and all kinds of antioxidants that really help protect your skin against aging. And I call them a super-food because they’re very high protein and they’re not fattening – because they’re raw. So I always encourage my clients to eat avocados as a very good source of nutrition and they will not put on weight unless they smother it with prawn cocktail, mayonnaise-ey thick rich nasty sauces.
