What would you do if you get the pearl of the world? Pearl 珍珠(Pearl)，是由拉丁文Pernulo演化而来的。它的另一个名字Margarite，则由古代波斯梵语衍生而来，意为“大海之子”。 珍珠是一种有机宝石，自古以来一直被人们视做奇珍，据地质学和考古学的研究证明，在两亿年前，地球上就已经有了珍珠。我国是世界上利用珍珠最早的国家之一，早在四千多年前，《尚书禹贡》中就有河蚌能产珠的记载，《诗经》、《山海经》、《尔雅》、《周易》中也都记载了有关珍珠的内容。 珍珠按照成因分为天然珍珠和人工养殖珍珠两种，天然珍珠主要是指在贝、蚌的体内自然形成的珍珠；习惯上人们把珍珠又分为海水珠、淡水珠、人造珠三种类型，淡水珍珠是指江、河中产出的珍珠。我国的天然淡水珍珠主要产于华南诸岛。珍珠有白色系、红色系、黄色系、深色系和杂色系五种，多数不透明。珍珠的形态以正圆形为最好，古时候人们把天然正圆形的珍珠称为走盘珠。 珍珠与玛瑙、水晶、玉石一起并称我国古代传统“四宝”。 Text II Practice Workbook, Page 130, Comprehension Oral Work What Do People Come Out to See in a Boxing Match?
