People have strange ideas about food。 For example, tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable。
It is one of the useful plants that can be prepared in many ways。 It has rich nutrition（营养）and vitamin（维生素）in it。
But in the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes。 They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty。
But they thought the vegetable was poisonous（有毒的）。 They called tomatoes “poison apples”。
人们对食物有些奇怪的想法。
例如，西红柿是一种非常美味的蔬菜，从很多方面来说它都是非常有用的，它富含营养和维生素。但是在18世纪，美国人从不吃西红柿。他们只是因为西红柿很漂亮才将它种在花园里。但是他们认为西红柿是有毒的蔬菜，称之为“毒苹果”。
President Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat。 He was a learned（博学的）man。
He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes。 He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden。
The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup。 This beautiful pink soup was served at the President’s party。
The guests thought the soup tasted really good。 They never thought their president would serve his honored guests（贵宾）poison apples。
Jefferson never spoke to his honored guests about the fact。
然而，托马斯·杰斐逊总统知道西红柿可以吃。他是以为很博学的人。他曾经去过巴黎，在那里他开始喜欢上西红柿的味道。
他在花园里栽种了许多西红柿，并交会他的厨师作一种奶油西红柿汤的方法。这道漂亮的粉红色汤（经常）出现在总统的宴会上，客人们都非常喜欢。他们从来没有想到总统会用“毒苹果”来招待他尊贵的客人。杰斐逊总统也从来没有告诉他的客人这个事实。
