Today， my mother bought some bread and a bottle of mixed sauce. In the transparent bottle， the sauce was so pleasantly red that it looked beautiful. I was wondering what kind of fruit the sauce was made of ， but I couldn’t find the answer even though I thought about it hard， Suddenly， I was enlightened. This was a mixture of many kinds of fruit， so the material couldn’t be told by its color. But the one-kind-of-fruit sauce can be recognized by its color， such as red hawthorn sauce and yellow pitch sauce. All of them kept their own color. Because the mixed sauce was made of different fruits， its color was different from any kind of fruit.”

Naturally ，I relate it to individual personality. In reality， we always hear some apraises， such as“he has no personality.”hat means， many people always follow others and therefore lose their ownminds and ideas. They always say what others say and do what others do. Like the mixed sauce my mother bought， it contains too many kinds of fruit. As a result， it becomes tasteless.

To be frank， I don’t like the mixed sauce. Perhaps， there were so many kinds of one-kind-of-fruit sauce in the store that my mother dind’t know which one to choose. She then picked the mixed sauce， because she thought it contained all kinds of fruit. But she didn’t know it would lose the original taste of fruit if many kinds of fruit were mixed together. If I were her， I would buy all kinds of one-kind-of-fruit sauce and taste them one by one. Al-though it is a simple taste， but at least it’s the real teste of a certain fruit， so it’s worth trying.

Anyway， I opened the bottle of mixed sauce even though I don’t like it. I tasted it， and found it a little sweet and a little sour as well. Maybe it is the taste of fruit， I think.

今天媽媽買了面包回來，順便帶回一瓶什錦醬。透明的玻璃瓶中，栗紅色的醬肉凝固在那里，煞是可愛。我突然間問自己這是什么水果的顏色，腦細胞搜尋了半天，卻始終沒有答案。但又一想，這本來就不是什么水果的顏色，人世間多種水果混在一起的醬，必然誰都不像。但我馬上又想到了其它的水果醬，紅色的山楂醬，總是讓我很好辨認，黃色的黃桃醬也迷惑不了我，它們都保留著自己的顏色（姑且不考慮色素），而眾多的水果混合在一起，什錦醬便沒有了任何水果的顏色。

由此，我想到了人的個性，現實生活中，總會聽到這樣的評價，這個人太俗。俗，恐怕就是人云亦云，沒有個性，這與其說是社會磨平了人的特色，還不如說是看慣了太多失和事，而失去了自己的個性，變得沒有味道，就像一瓶什錦醬。太多的因素注入其思想，人反而不知所措，為了迎合各種人和事，卻失掉了自己的東西。

憑心而論，我不喜歡什錦醬。也許，媽媽面對各種五花八門的果醬，變得無從選擇，可她選擇了什錦醬，也許她認為什錦醬包含了所有的水果的味道，可她不知道，太多的東西混在一起反而變得沒有味道。如果可能的話，我會嘗盡所有的果醬，而惟獨不買什錦醬。體味一種真實的味道，即使它單一，也是值得的。

可面對眼前這瓶什錦醬，我還是打開了蓋，盛一勺放在嘴里，甜甜的，酸酸的，這也許就是水果的味道吧。
