2. PitayaHylocereus 仙人掌果（拉丁名：Hylocereus）

      Pitaya, or dragon fruit, is a cactus fruit that can be found throughout Asia, Australasia, North America and South America, even though they are believed to be native to Mexico originally. There are two main types of pitaya, the sour types, typically eaten in the Americas, and sweet types found across Asia. The fruit comes in 3 different color varieties, Labelled as red, yellow and Costa Rican pitayas. The “red” fruits are generally a bright magenta color on the outside, with yellow flesh. The Yellow Pitaya is yellow inside and out, and the Costa Rican pitayas are magenta on the outside and the inside. They smell deliciously fragrant and most have a sweet flavor similar to a kiwi fruit.

      仙人掌果，或稱火龍果，是一種仙人掌的果實，雖然最初原產(chǎn)于墨西哥，但今天你可以在整個亞洲、澳大拉西亞、北美洲和南美洲發(fā)現(xiàn)它們。火龍果主要有兩類：酸口味的，通常在美洲地區(qū)可以吃到；甜口味的，在整個亞洲可以找到。根據(jù)顏色的不同，可以分成3類：紅火龍果、黃火龍果和哥斯達黎加火龍果。紅火龍果果皮呈亮粉色，果肉白色；黃火龍果，黃皮白肉；哥斯達黎加火龍果內(nèi)外都呈亮粉色。它們聞上去都芬芳怡人，大多數(shù)口味香甜，與獼猴桃的口味相似。
（譯注：這里作者原文為稱紅火龍果粉皮黃肉，黃火龍果黃皮黃肉，譯者查了資料，認為兩處“黃肉”欠妥，覺得譯成“白肉”更為合適。）
