笨老撕今天和大家分享的是关于香菜的故事。香菜，一种植物，一种蔬菜，英文叫做cilantro [ səˈlæntroʊ]，英文被归类到herb也就是香料这一类。

There are probably a lot of foods that you could take or leave, and there are probably plenty of foods that you'll eat even though you're not particularly fond of them.
可能有很多食物你可以吃或者不吃。也有很多食物你会吃，尽管你并不特别喜欢。

But cilantro is a different story.
但是香菜就不同了。

Those who like it reported it has a fragrant, fresh smell, and many said it has an almost citrusy [ˈsɪtrəsi] taste.
喜欢它的人说，香菜有一种芳香，新鲜的气味。很多也说，香菜有类似柑橘的口味。

On the other hand, those who hate it … really hate it. They liken it to soap, dirt, or bugs, and some say it tastes moldy.[ˈmoʊldi]
另一方面，那些讨厌它的人…真的很讨厌它。他们把它比作肥皂、泥土或虫子，还有一些人说香菜吃起来好像发霉了。

There are even Facebook pages and websites dedicated to hating cilantro.
甚至还有专门用来抵制香菜的Facebook页面和网站。
