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，或称火龙果，是一种仙人掌的果实，虽然最初原产于墨西哥，但今天你可以在整个亚洲、澳大拉西亚、北美洲和南美洲发现它们。火龙果主要有两类：酸口味的，通常在美洲地区可以吃到；甜口味的，在整个亚洲可以找到。根据颜色的不同，可以分成3类：红火龙果、黄火龙果和哥斯达黎加火龙果。红火龙果果皮呈亮粉色，果肉白色；黄火龙果，黄皮白肉；哥斯达黎加火龙果内外都呈亮粉色。它们闻上去都芬芳怡人，大多数口味香甜，与猕猴桃的口味相似。
（译注：这里作者原文为称红火龙果粉皮黄肉，黄火龙果黄皮黄肉，译者查了资料，认为两处“黄肉”欠妥，觉得译成“白肉”更为合适。）
