苦楝,楝科落叶乔木,生于旷野或路旁,在酸性土、中性土与石灰岩地区均能生长。在我的家乡,苦楝随处可见,但因其名字带有一个“苦”字,庭院中很难有它立足之地。外婆的妈妈,被我们称为“太姥”的慈祥老太太,院里却有一棵高大的苦楝。在绿树合抱的村庄中,它居高临下地俯瞰着村子,像一位德高望重的长者在呵护着他的臣民。从我记事时起,太姥就是一个人生活。 Melia, Meliaceae deciduous trees, was born in the wilderness or roadside, in acid soil, neutral soil and limestone areas can grow. In my hometown, Melia everywhere, but because of its name with a “bitter” word, it is difficult to have a garden in the foothold. Grandmother’s mother, we are called “too basking” kind old lady, the yard has a tall neem. Among the trees encircled by green trees, it overlooked the village in a downright height, caring for his subjects like a respected elder. From my time, too basal is a person’s life.
