This time of year? These pictures have been circulating in the Chinese internet for more than a decade.
今年這個時候?這些照片在中國互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上流傳了十多年。
This photo gets reposted every year.
這張照片每年都會被轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)。
Yeah this tree is at least 1,407 years old by now.
是的,這棵樹現(xiàn)在至少有 1,407 年了。
According to google image search the oldest exact match is 2017
根據(jù)谷歌圖片搜索,最早的精確匹配是 2017 年
I sneeze every time I see it too
我每次看到這都會打噴嚏
@TheGisbon
You’re looking at leaves here, not pollen. By this point the tree should be several months past allergy season.
你看到的是樹葉,而不是(讓你過敏的)花粉。此時,這棵樹應(yīng)該已經(jīng)過了過敏季節(jié)幾個月了。
Unless you’re allergic to mold and dust mites too.
除非你也對霉菌和塵螨過敏。
I live in Chicago so idk about China, but the ginkgos are turning yellow here right now lol
They're just as beautiful, same vibrant color.
我住在芝加哥,所以不知道中國怎么樣,不過這里的銀杏現(xiàn)在正在變黃,哈哈
它們一樣美麗,一樣鮮艷。
Hope it's not female, they drop disgusting stink bombs disguised as fruit. We had a ton on the way from my dorm to the cafeteria, and it was a miserable twice daily tiptoe around those damn fruit.
希望不是雌性,它們會扔下偽裝成水果的惡心臭彈。從宿舍到餐廳的路上,我們吃了好多臭彈,每天兩次(經(jīng)過都要)小心翼翼地繞過這些該死的水果,真是太痛苦了。
My mum planted a few in our yard and I’m dreading any of them being female. Not only does the fruit stink, it’s also toxic to dogs and we have 4 very stupid dogs.
我媽媽在院子里種了幾棵,我害怕其中有雌性。這種果實(shí)不僅很臭,而且對狗有毒,而我們有 4 只非常愚蠢的狗。
ginkgotoxin is toxic to humans as well. It's unlikely your dog would eat enough for it to become a serious issue. The smell probably helps as a deterrent too haha
The nuts are probably the most delicious nut I've tried. You scrape off the outer [stinky and kinda toxic] part and roast the nut in the middle. Then you can crack it open like a pistachio for an amazing treat
銀杏毒素對人類也是有毒的。你的狗不太可能因?yàn)槌蕴喽鴮?dǎo)致嚴(yán)重問題。氣味可能也能讓它不想吃哈哈
(里面)堅果可能是我嘗過的最美味的堅果。你刮掉外面[臭味和有點(diǎn)有毒]的部分,然后烤堅果的中間部分。然后你可以像開心果一樣把它打開,這是一種美味的享受
The smell helps as a deterrent? Dogs love to eat shit and barf!
氣味能起到威懾作用嗎?狗喜歡吃屎然后嘔吐!
I once tried harvesting a bunch of gingko nuts by hand. Got the juice all up and down my arms trying to clean the pulp off. That was a mistake. Not sure if it's just me or if it would happen to anyone who does this, but I got a gnarly allergic reaction on my arms that made the next week or so very unpleasant.
To be fair to the gingko, I did it in a pretty stupid way in a bucket of warm water, so that probably helped it get into my skin, but that was the last time I tried messing with gingko.
我曾經(jīng)嘗試用手采摘一串銀杏果。為了把果肉洗干凈,我的手臂上沾滿了銀杏汁。那是一個錯誤。不知道是不是只有我一個人這樣,或者其他人這樣做都會這樣,但我的手臂出現(xiàn)了嚴(yán)重的過敏反應(yīng),這讓我接下來的一周左右非常不舒服。
公平地說,我把銀杏放在一桶溫水中,用一種相當(dāng)愚蠢的方式采摘,所以這可能有助于銀杏進(jìn)入我的皮膚,但那是我最后一次嘗試擺弄銀杏。
Yeah, when my mother harvests ginkgo nuts, she protects any part of her body with exposed skin. Definitely not just you.
是的,我媽媽采摘銀杏時,會保護(hù)身體任何裸露皮膚的部位。絕對不只是你。
They are very cool trees. Stinky though they may be.
Making seeds is still a necessity
它們是很酷的樹。雖然那可能很臭。
制作種子仍然是必要的
lol my first experience with them was at college too. took a shortcut through the grass and unfortunately the ginko stink bombs as well. when we got back to the door room we all were like wtf is that smell. our shoes smelled so bad we just threw them out cause washing off didn't help
哈哈,我第一次遇到它們也是在大學(xué)。我抄近路穿過草地,不幸的是,銀杏臭彈也來了。當(dāng)我們回到門房時,我們都在想這是什么味道。我們的鞋子聞起來很難聞,我們把鞋子扔掉了,因?yàn)橄吹粢矝]用
I'm obsessed with those fruit. They taste like chestnuts when baked. Quite possibly my favorite "nut" of all time
Landscapers explicitly try to only plant male trees but sometimes they slip up because you can't know the sex until around 20 years of age. I keep a map of all the female ginkgos in my city
我癡迷于這些水果。烤過后,它們的味道就像栗子。這很可能是我最喜歡的“堅果”
園丁們明確地嘗試只種植雄性樹木,但有時他們會犯錯,因?yàn)橐?20 歲左右才能知道它們的性別。我保留了一張我所在城市所有雌性銀杏樹的地圖
Fun fact, the trees can actually randomly start sprouting female parts to start producing seeds
有趣的是,樹木實(shí)際上可以隨機(jī)開始讓雌性部分發(fā)芽來產(chǎn)生種子
Male gingkos can grow female branches so you're never really safe
雄性銀杏樹可以長出雌性枝條,所以你永遠(yuǎn)不會真正安全
Finally someone with actual experience. I grew up in Korea and the sidewalks are just leaves and stale decay. While it is nasty, I still argue that the maintenance is worth it as they are beautiful trees (especially when they turn that brilliant yellow). I just think ppl should know the cons that comes with them. Little amount is good, too many is bad
終于有人有實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)了。我在韓國長大,人行道上只有樹葉和腐爛的陳腐物。雖然(銀杏)很臟,但我仍然認(rèn)為維護(hù)是值得的,因?yàn)樗鼈兪敲利惖臉淠荆ㄓ绕涫钱?dāng)它們變成鮮艷的黃色時)。我只是認(rèn)為人們應(yīng)該知道(美麗)隨之而來的缺點(diǎn)。少量的樹是好的,太多就壞了

Was going to say I can smell it from here….I would see the older population picking the berries off the ground to take home. I always thought it smelled like NYC trash with hangover vomit
本來想說我從這里就能聞到它的味道……我會看到老年人從地上撿漿果帶回家。我一直覺得它聞起來像紐約的垃圾和宿醉嘔吐物
Had a Ginkgo tree in the yard when I lived in Minneapolis. Raking up those leaves was a fucking pain in the ass
我住在明尼阿波利斯的時候,院子里有一棵銀杏樹。耙那些樹葉真是一件痛苦的事
Haha I have one as well. It's still kinda small, mayb 20 feet high. But it's weird it turns yellow and drops all the leaves so quickly
哈哈,我也有一棵。它仍然有點(diǎn)矮,大概 20 英尺高。但奇怪的是,它很快就變黃了,葉子也掉光了
We have two in our backyard! I don't even try to take care of the leaves. They get full reign over the backyard.
我們家后院就有兩棵!我甚至沒打算去清理樹葉。在后院里到處都是它們。
I can't speak for a ginko tree, but a maple tree you can just mow the leaves into the grass with a mulching lawnmower.
我不能代表銀杏樹說話,但是對于楓樹,你可以用覆蓋式割草機(jī)將樹葉割到草地上。
Beautiful
漂亮

The leaves actually all drop near the same time
樹葉實(shí)際上幾乎都同時掉落
A tree I used to pass by every day would turn yellow one day, and then a day or two after all the leaves would drop. Such an intense tree.
我以前每天都會經(jīng)過的一棵樹,有一天它會變黃,一兩天后所有的葉子都會掉落。真是一棵色彩鮮艷的樹。
Smells nasty too
氣味也很難聞
Someone told me they smell like a bag of butt holes. Spot on.
有人告訴我它們聞起來就像一袋屁眼。確實(shí)如此。
Feet, buttholes, fresh manure, and vomit
腳、屁眼、新鮮糞便和嘔吐物
Ginko nuts smell like shit as well. Looks beautiful but the shit nuts are a pain.
銀杏果聞起來也像屎??瓷先ズ苊溃汗苈闊?。
To me it smells like rank cheese. It’s pretty gross.
我覺得它聞起來就像臭奶酪。非常惡心。
Ginkgos are an ancient tree that existed when dinosaurs did. The tree was almost extinct until it was first discovered in a small Chinese town
It’s pretty unique tree that survives surprisingly well in our modern, polluted environments
With a lineage that extends back nearly 290 million years, the ginkgo is the last of a long dynasty of trees that made up a significant proportion of ancient forests. In fact, the species that we have growing in parks and along streets today has changed little from its ancestors 170 million years ago.
The curiosities don’t end there. The ginkgo is so old and unique it has its very own division in the plant kingdom, and it is the only living member of that division. A division (or phylum) is a high level of plant hierarchy, denoting one of the broadest categories for ordering life on earth. The fact that ginkgo alone occupies this division means that there is no other living plant that is closely related to it. For reference, all of the conifers—every one of them, all of their species, genera, families, and orders—are included in just one division. They are all more closely related to each other than the ginkgo is to anything else alive on the planet today.
銀杏是一種古老的樹,與恐龍同時存在。這種樹幾乎滅絕,直到它首次在中國的一個小鎮(zhèn)被發(fā)現(xiàn)。這是一種非常獨(dú)特的樹,在我們現(xiàn)代污染的環(huán)境中生存得非常好
銀杏的血統(tǒng)可以追溯到近 2.9 億年前,是構(gòu)成古代森林很大一部分的樹種的最后一個子孫。事實(shí)上,我們今天在公園和街道上生長的物種與 1.7 億年前的祖先幾乎沒有變化。
好奇心不止于此。銀杏是如此古老和獨(dú)特,它在植物界有一個自己的分支,它是該分支中唯一的現(xiàn)存成員。分支(或門)是植物等級的高級,表示地球上生命排序的最廣泛類別。銀杏獨(dú)自占據(jù)這個分支的這一事實(shí)意味著沒有其他現(xiàn)存植物與它密切相關(guān)。作為參考,作為針葉樹——不管種類、屬、科和目——都只包含在一個門類中。它們之間的關(guān)系比銀杏與當(dāng)今地球上任何其他生物之間的關(guān)系都要密切。
I like to think this means this tree is representative of other trees at the time, and dinosaurs were busy living in stinky doo doo forests for millions of years.
我喜歡認(rèn)為這意味著這棵樹代表了當(dāng)時的其他樹木,并且恐龍在臭氣熏天的森林里忙忙叨叨生活了數(shù)百萬年。
What are some other interesting trees like this
還有哪些像這樣的有趣的樹
The podcast I lixed is actually all about trees. I recommend checking out some other episodes they have. Lots of interesting trees!
我鏈接的播客實(shí)際上都是關(guān)于樹木的。我建議看看他們的其他一些劇集。有很多有趣的樹木!
The Erdtree
黃金樹
"Revel in all my glorious golden goodness you mortals. Oh, and have fun raking up my leaves, plebe."
“凡人啊,盡情享受我所有輝煌的金色美景吧。哦,凡人們,盡情享受耙樹葉的樂趣吧?!?/b>
I want one dang it. I love trees i have dozens of species. If anyone knows where, i want one of these like a 5 year old sapling. I have a purple jacaranda that is huge. I hope they like tropical. South Florida
我想要一棵。我喜歡樹,我有幾十種樹。如果有人知道在哪里,我想要一棵這樣的樹,比如 5 年樹齡的樹苗。我有一棵巨大的紫色藍(lán)花楹。我希望它們喜歡熱帶。南佛羅里達(dá)州
We have several 100 year old Ginkgo trees in our neighborhood and maybe a 30 year old in the yard. They are among the healthiest trees in the town, and these golden leaves stay this beautiful even in to winter after they fall.
But, the nuts from these trees smell absolutely awful and a single tree can drop what I estimate as 1000s in one season. Our tree was supposed to be sexed so as not to produce the stinky nuts. Apparently these trees can changes their sex as they want or environment permits.
我們社區(qū)里有幾棵 100 年樹齡的銀杏樹,院子里也許有一棵 30 年樹齡的銀杏樹。它們是鎮(zhèn)上最健康的樹木之一,這些金色的葉子即使在落葉后到冬天仍然如此美麗。
但是,這些樹上的堅果聞起來非常難聞,一棵樹一季就能掉下 1000 顆。我們的樹應(yīng)該轉(zhuǎn)性,以免結(jié)出臭堅果。顯然,這些樹可以根據(jù)自己的意愿或環(huán)境允許改變性別。
My all time favorite trees!
我一直以來最喜歡的樹!
This tree must smell so awful in this photo. We have a gingko tree a block north of my apartment and in the fall when the seeds drop you can smell it from a hundred feet away. The tree in this photo must be 4 times the size of the one near me.
照片里的這棵樹聞起來一定很難聞。我家北邊一個街區(qū)的地方有一棵銀杏樹,秋天當(dāng)銀杏種子掉落時,你在一百英尺外就能聞到它的味道。照片里的這棵樹肯定是我附近那棵樹的 4 倍大。
Same
同感
i know the crunch is incredible
我知道嘎吱嘎吱(踩樹葉)的聲音是極好的
Fun fact. These trees world wide were wiped by an ice age. All but in one valley in China. Then they spread out again when the glaciers retreated.
有趣的事實(shí)。世界各地的銀杏樹都被冰川時代摧毀了。除了中國的一個山谷之外,其他地方都沒有。然后,當(dāng)冰川時代過去后,它們再次茁壯成長。
Looks so cool. People don't realise how beautiful China is!
看起來很酷。人們沒有意識到中國是多么美麗!
@Thin-Juice-7062
Im pretty sure at least a billion people are aware.
我敢肯定,至少有十億人知道。
My eyes are watering from it's pollen - 10,000 miles away...
一萬英里外的花粉都讓我流眼淚……
West Taiwan has some pretty trees!
臺灣(地區(qū))西部有一些漂亮的樹!
I'm so glad they didnt chop it down, now people can enjoy it for centuries or more!
我很高興他們沒有把它砍下來,現(xiàn)在人們可以享受它幾個世紀(jì)甚至更長時間了!
The leaves are very soft and keep this awesome color much longer than you’d suspect. I gave up taking it. Just let it smother my yard lol.
葉子非常柔軟,保持這種令人驚嘆的顏色的時間比你想象的要長得多。我放棄砍掉它了。就讓它的味道污染我的院子吧,哈哈。
I would go to China just for this tree alone.
哪怕只是為了這棵樹,我也會去中國。
Stunning
令人驚嘆
doesn't it only look like this for maybe 3 days out of the year if the weather conditions permit it
如果天氣條件允許的話,一年中可能只有3天會出現(xiàn)這種景致
