6. Brother Marie-Clement
6.教友玛利亚·克莱门特
Vital Rodier was born in central France in the early 19th century. In 1859, he traveled to northern Algeria and joined the Brothers of the Annunciation, a Catholic organization of which his uncle was already a member. He became Brother Marie-Clement. The brotherhood ran an orphanage, which Rodier helped to manage.

维塔·罗迪尔（Vital Rodier）于十九世纪早期出生在法国中部。1859年，他在游历北阿尔及利亚期间加入了报喜兄弟会（the Brothers of the Annunciation）。报喜兄弟会是一个天主教组织，罗迪尔的叔叔也是其中的一员。在那里，他成为教友玛利亚·克莱门特。之后，罗迪尔帮助其他教友管理着一家孤儿院。

The orphanage included a large farm, and Brother Marie-Clement soon took a keen interest in horticulture. At some point, he either developed or discovered a new variety of citrus fruit (it may actually have originated in the Orient). The French botanist Louis Trabut noted the new variety and recommended it be called the Clementine in honor of Marie-Clement.

该孤儿院有一块大农场，很快克莱门特就对园艺产生了浓厚的兴趣。在某一时刻，他发现了一个新的柑橘品种（这个新品种实际上很可能原产于东方）。为了表彰玛利亚·克莱门特的杰出贡献，法国植物学家路易斯·特哈布特（Louis Trabut）在记录这个新品种的柑橘时将它命名为“克莱门特蒂娜柑橘”（Clementine）。
Clementines are also sometimes called Christmas oranges, because their peak season is November through January. They were once thought to be a hybrid of a mandarin and a bitter orange, but modern genetic studies have confirmed that they're a hybrid of mandarins and sweet oranges.
“克莱门特蒂娜柑橘”（Clementine）也被称为圣诞柑橘(Christmas oranges)，因为它主要在每年十一月至来年的一月期间上市。最初，人们认为它是由柑橘和一种苦橙杂交而来的。但是，现代基因学研究证明，它其实是柑橘和一种甜橙的杂交品种。
