夏天到了,西瓜成了最受欢迎的水果之一。我想为什么西瓜要叫西瓜呢? Summer is here! Watermelon has become one of the most popular fruits! When I was eating watermelon this afternoon, I was getting curious about the name of watermelon in Chinese - 西(xī)瓜(guā) which literally means west melon. It seems make more sense to call it 水(shuǐ)瓜(guā) since it so juicy and watery.🤣🤣🤣 It turns out 西(xī)瓜(guā) is originally from The Western Regions 西(xī)域(yǜ), a melon from the west, 西瓜!Interesting
