Hey, that reminds me: You were growing a pepper plant. Has that produced any fruit yet?

这倒提醒我了，想起你正在种辣椒。挂果了吗？

But the red pepper plants were flourishing.

但是红辣椒植物正在蓬勃发展。

In some of the gutters, they arranged pairs of pepper plants roughly 10 centimeters apart.

在一些排水沟中，他们以大约 10 厘米的距离排列了成对的胡椒植物。

Pepper plants replaced the prickly hedges of European fields;sago–bushes, large ferns with gorgeous branches, varied the aspect of this tropical clime;while nutmeg–trees in full foliage filled the air with a penetrating perfume.

这里一丛丛的胡椒树，代替了在欧洲农村用带刺植物筑成的篱笆，椰子树和大棵的羊齿草伸展着密茂的枝叶，点缀着这热带地区的风景。那些深色绿叶的豆蔻树播散着浓郁的香气。
