🍽Tableware: Plates
🇺🇸美國生活諺語再開👉料理工具篇之「盤 plate」篇
在聊了這麼多跟 food 有關的生活用語之後,我們換個口味,來看看跟裝食物的容器:盤子plate有關的Idiom吧🤔
1⃣ have a lot of things on your plate
2⃣ have one’s plate full / have a full plate
3⃣ has/keeps (an amount of/all the) plates spinning
4⃣ blue plate special
5⃣ clean one’s plate
--
We’ve talked a lot about food, but what about the tableware we put it on (and in)? Are there idioms in English that make use of plates, bowls and cups? Of course there are!
我們之前已經聊夠了跟食物有關的諺語,那麼,放食物的碗盤跟杯子,是否也有諺語呢?當然有囉!
Let’s start off with plates. If you have a lot of food on your plate, it’s going to take a long time to finish, right? In fact, you may not even be able to finish it at all. So if you say you 1⃣ have a lot of things on your plate, it means you have a lot of things to deal with, or a lot of work to do. Ex: I’d like to help you out, but I have a lot on my plate right now. The same meaning can be expressed with 2⃣“have one’s plate full” or “have a full plate.” Ex: I have a full plate today, but I should have free time on Friday.
我們這禮拜先介紹盤子(plate)。如果你的盤中盛了一大堆食物,表示你得花很多時間吃完,是吧?你甚至根本吃不完。所以,如果你說 have a lot of things on the plate,就是表達「手頭上有很多事情要處理、完成」。如:I’d like to help you out, but I have a lot on my plate right now.(我很想幫你,但我現在手上有很多事要忙。)片語have one’s plate full或have a full plate也是表達相同意思,如:I have a full plate today, but I should have free time on Friday.(我今天超忙的,但我週五應該有空。)
Have you ever seen a circus act where a performer spins a number of plates on top of wooden poles? It looks challenging, doesn’t it? So if you say 3⃣ somebody has/keeps (an amount of/all the) plates spinning, it means they’re dealing with a number of different things at once. Ex: I don’t know how working mothers manage to keep so many plates spinning.
你曾經看過雜耍團有人用木棍頂著一堆盤子旋轉嗎?看起來很難吧?所以,如果你說某人has/keeps (an amount of/all the) plate spinning,就是說他們正在處理一堆棘手、難以處理的事情。如:I don’t know how working mothers manage to keep so many plates spinning.(我不知道全職媽媽怎麼能處理這麼多麻煩事。)
But some plate-related idioms are actually about food. If you go to a diner or cafe in the U.S. or Canada, you may see a 4⃣“blue plate special” item on the menu. This refers to a low-priced meal that usually changes daily. But why is it called a blue plate special? Is it served on a blue plate? In the 1920s and ’30s, it actually was served on a blue plate, which is where the name comes from. But these days the plate is more likely to be white. Ex: The diner across the street has a good blue plate special.
不過,有些跟碗相關的諺語倒是真的跟食物有關。如果你去到美國或加拿大的餐廳或簡餐店,你或許會在菜單上看到「藍盤特餐」。這指的是每天會換的低價餐點。但為什麼要叫這個名稱呢?事實上,在二零到三零年代時期,當時餐點事實上是用藍色盤子裝的,所以才有這名稱的由來。不過最近供餐的盤子都已經換成白色的了。如:The diner across the street has a good blue plate special.(對街餐廳供應的便宜特餐很好吃。)
And finally, let’s talk about cleaning your plate. If you think this is about washing the dishes, you’re wrong. 5⃣ To clean one’s plate means to eat all of the food on it. Ex: The dinner Mom made was so good that we all cleaned our plates.
最後來聊聊洗盤子(clean your plate)這件事。如果你以為我們真的是要聊洗碗,那你就錯了。clean one’s plate事實上是「把所有東西吃光」的意思。如:The dinner Mom made was so good that we all cleaned our plates.(老媽煮的晚餐太好吃了,大家都吃到碗底朝天。)

Từ vựng topic Society và bài viết Writing Task 2:
Đề bài: Nowadays young people spend too much of their free time in shopping malls. Some people fear that this may have negative effects on young people and the society they live in.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
‼️TOPIC ANALYSIS
Key words:
- young people, spend, free time, shopping centers: người trẻ hiện nay dành nhiều thời gian trong các trung tâm thương mại

- agree/disagree: đồng ý hay không đồng ý
‼️ BRAINSTORMING
Đề bài là dạng Argumentative essay nên chúng ta sẽ đi theo hướng Disagree – không đồng ý với nhận định rằng xu hướng này mang lại những ảnh hưởng tiêu cực đến giới trẻ và xã hội. Trong bài này, chúng ta sẽ chỉ ra rằng xu hướng này mang lại cả lợi ích và bất lợi.

+, Đoạn thân bài 1:

- Đối với giới trẻ: Đây là một cách để thư giãn -> giúp họ tận hưởng cuộc sống và giảm stress một cách hiệu quả

+, Kết bài:
- Khẳng định lại ý kiến không đồng ý với nhận định ban đầu và xu hướng giới trẻ dành nhiều thời gian ở những trung tâm thương mại mang lại cả lợi ích lẫn bất lợi với giới trẻ và xã hội.
‼️ MODEL ESSAY
The young today spend a large amount of leisure time in shopping centers. It is fear that this trend can bring about negative influences on the youths and the society. Personally, I strongly disagree with this view.
On the one hand, for the young generation spending too much time at the shopping malls can make them waste a great deal of money. As there are dozens of brands with various prices and design for them to choose from, they are easily tempted to buy things impulsively and misspend money on unnecessary stuff. For example, when some big brand names slash the prices, a shopaholic may purchase 10 shirts and jeans in a row and this cost her somewhere $100; however, such items often end up being left in the wardrobe. For the society, because youngsters are unlikely to participate in other activities such as their work or studying, economy may suffer due to less work being done and the youths could slack off their knowledge acquisition, making the national education standard drop significantly.
On the other hand, there are also some advantages of this trend. First, in terms of the young, spending time at the malls is considered a method of relaxation. In modern life these days, young people have to deal with lots of pressure from school or workplace, so this trend helps them enjoy their life and effectively release their stress. Second, the society also benefits from this phenomenon. The increase in the amount of consumption will promote manufacture and commerce in the fashion industry, which afterward will create more jobs and boost the economic growth.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that devoting a huge amount of time in shopping malls could lead to both negative and positive consequences to the young as well as the society.

我所體會的當下
Translation: @berbermnm
Photographer: @teddytzeng
Model: @qqqa163076
.
常言當下 何為當下
聽過人人掛在嘴邊的「活在當下」
但當下的意義可能因人而異
你所認知的當下是什麼概念呢?
「此時此地」?
我理解的不只是「此時此地」
更不是「心不在焉 心有旁騖的此時此地」
比較接近「心念專注在此時此地的此時此地」
.
體驗當下 享受當下
有個具體一點的方法能體驗當下
——發呆 放空
若你的心已忙碌到忘了如何發呆放空
可以試試跑步
跑到很喘很累的時候再多跑一會兒
跑到筋疲力竭的時候再堅持一下
跑到感受不到雙腳的時候 減速 然後就地躺下
.
.
.
那種開放 那種停留 就是當下
來不及想昨日的煩惱 來不及想明日的期待
來不及想地上髒不髒 來不及想身上汗滿衫
雜念跟不上的空白
雜念來不及包覆的原本
展露本自俱足的滿足 愉悅 單純
.
PS.除了跑步 有時候工作太累
回家在沙發 在牆腳 倚著停格
沒有雜念 只剩呼吸的聲音 也很接近了
接近我所體會的當下:)
.
We always say “live in the moment.” What’s “the moment”?
The meaning of it may differ to different people.
What is your understanding of it?
Now and here?
My understanding of it is beyond that, let alone being here but “the mind is not being here, thinking about something else.”
My version of it is closer to “being now and here with focused mind to now and here.”
.
Experience the moment, enjoy the moment
There’s a more concrete way to do so —— just be there and do nothing
If your mind is occupied by emotion or trifles, which disables you to sit in idle, you may try running.
When you’re out of breath, keep persisting
When you are exhausted, don’t stop
When you can’t feel your legs anymore, slow down and lie right on the floor.
.
.
.
The openness, the stillness is the moment
No time to think about troubles of yesterday or longings of tomorrow
No time to think about the cleanliness of the floor or the soaked t-shirt
The emptiness not yet caught up by thoughts
The original state that is not tangled by thoughts
Revealing the innate content, fulfilment and pureness
.
Ps: besides running, sometimes when I’m drained from work
Leaning on the wall or collapsing on the sofa
Without my mind wandering off, all there left is my breathing sound
It’s also pretty close to my version of “the moment.” : )

Please understand that by watching Dan’s videos or enrolling in his programs does not mean you’ll get results close to what he’s been able to do (or do anything for that matter).
He’s been in business for over 20 years and his results are not typical.
Most people who watch his videos or enroll in his programs get the “how to” but never take action with the information. Dan is only sharing what has worked for him and his students.
Your results are dependent on many factors… including but not limited to your ability to work hard, commit yourself, and do whatever it takes.
Entering any business is going to involve a level of risk as well as massive commitment and action. If you're not willing to accept that, please DO NOT WATCH DAN’S VIDEOS OR SIGN UP FOR ONE OF HIS PROGRAMS.
