2. Adam's apple：喉結

《舊約.創(chuàng)世紀》第3章講到人類的起源，傳說上帝創(chuàng)造人類的始祖亞當和夏娃，在東方的伊甸(Eden)建立了一個園子給他們居住。伊甸園里生長著悅人眼目的各種樹木，樹上長著各種各樣的果實。

上帝吩咐亞當說：你可以隨意吃園中的各種果子，只是不能吃那棵分別善惡樹上的果實，吃了必定要死。這種“禁果”就是apple。后來，亞當的配偶夏娃聽信蛇的誘惑，不顧神諭，吃了善惡樹上的禁果，還把這果子給它丈夫吃。亞當因心懷恐懼，吃時倉促，有一個蘋果核哽在吼中，不上不下，留下個結塊，就叫“亞當的蘋果”兩人吃了這果子就心明眼亮，能知善惡美丑。

但是由于他們違背了上帝的告戒而被逐出伊甸園。從此，亞當就永遠在脖子前端留下“喉結”，作為偷吃禁果的“罪證”。上帝還懲罰亞當，“必汗流滿面才能糊口”

不過也有一說是正當亞當吃的時候，上帝來了，所以亞當急忙吞下去，不料哽在喉嚨間了。
