本書P132頁Orange貴公司有個解釋為柑橘，有一點英文能力的人都知道這個單字是不等於橘子請問貴公司是不是寫錯了，柑橘跟橘子應該是同樣的東西，而 Orange不等於tangerine，還有如果貴公司ㄧ定要寫柑橘這個解釋麻煩請試著比較柑橘跟橘子這兩種水果的差別好嗎?因為很多人搞不清楚，我問我同學也是，網路上也沒特別寫的很清楚@@我們學生一頭霧水

請參見此頁中介紹得 Naval orange ，這也是我們一般所知道的柑橘或橘子。
It is a variety of the Mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata). Tangerines are smaller than most oranges, and the skin of some varieties will peel off more easily.
所以根據以上的英英、英漢的字典解釋，我們的中文解釋翻譯，也是沒有問題。綜合以上資料，英文中的orange 的品種種類很多，tangerine 也屬於orange 的一類，所以這樣的理解與解釋並沒有錯誤。
感謝您的寶貴意見，日後還請多多支持三民書局出版品。
