lady是“女士”，killer是“杀手”，那lady-killer是什么意思？(3)

Lady"s fingers is an alternative English name for okra, the mucilaginous seed pods of a plant of the hollyhock family.
“lady"s finger”是秋葵的又一称呼，秋葵是蜀葵科的一种带有粘液豆荚的植物。
One other type of food has shared the name: a sort of small finger-shaped sponge cake.
另一种食物也同名：一种小手指形状的海绵蛋糕。

But here must be mentioned the orthographic uncertainty that has beset the word: a confusing medley of lady"s fingers, ladies" fingers, lady-fingers, and others has been used over the centuries. It seems now as established as anything can be that okra is lady"s fingers and that, at least in American English, the sponge cake is a lady-finger.
但这里必须提到一件让人感到困扰的是，这个词的拼写有不确定性：几个世纪以来，lady"s fingers, ladies" fingers, lady-fingers一直被混淆使用。现在看来，lady"s fingers指的是秋葵，至少在美式英语中，lady-finger指海绵蛋糕。
