释义
lemon

Science and Technology
  • A small, evergreen tree of the genus Citrus (family Rutaceae) that is native to Asia and now cultivated widely for its fruit. Citrus species hybridize readily, making it difficult to classify them; the lemon is usually known as C. limon or C. × limon.

    Mike Allaby


Economics
  • An unsatisfactory product, where quality cannot reliably be checked before purchase. Even if some goods of the same type are perfectly satisfactory, their market price is lowered by the risk that the purchaser may get a lemon. If customers are risk-averse, the price will also be lowered by a risk premium. The market for second-hand cars is a typical example of the market for lemons at work.
