Lemonade
lem-uh-NAYD /ˌleməˈneɪd/

What it really means
In the UK, lemonade usually means a clear fizzy lemon drink (like Sprite), not the still cloudy juice drink Americans mean. "Cloudy lemonade" is the non-fizzy-looking version.
Chinese explanation
在英国，lemonade 通常指透明的柠檬味汽水（类似雪碧），不是美式的鲜榨柠檬水。"Cloudy lemonade"才是浑浊果汁感的那种。
