🍽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。)

my plate菜單 在 Vegan Expression Facebook 的精選貼文
🇭🇰 香港 Hong Kong (eng below)
觀塘│原來生食不只有沙律
雖然我食素,但生平最最最討厭食沙律,因為全部都是菜!菜!菜!(其實我並沒有很喜歡食菜) 對於食生,即以低溫41度以下烹調,我知道可以最大化保留蔬菜的營養,但是,我印象中食生即食生菜,所以不太喜歡。至到認識生機達人Megan,第一次嚐過純生壽司後,就像發現新大陸,開始對食生感到好奇 🥳
早陣子,有幸到「綠色心活館」品嚐這款「意式千層麵」,又再一次讓我大開眼界!這居然是生食的真面目?你能相信嗎?這千層麵包含了各類時令蔬菜,配以特製醬汁,我真不覺得這是生食;特別要介紹其沙律,記得Megan把一大盤沙律端到我和她先生面前,我倆同時說了句:嘩,這麼多,誰能吃完?看來,我們都不愛食菜。幾分鐘後,我們居然食完?!Megan看到後說:剛剛誰說吃不完 🤣😅 秘訣在於沙律醬!帶煙燻味的自家益生菌沙律醬,是我食過最好食的,這也是我生平第一次能一口氣食完一大盤沙律!還想繼續食!
整個餐單包含了前菜、主菜、特飲和甜品,處理生食比一般食材更費心思和功夫,所以不是天天有供應,好像幾個月才會有一次!剛好今天有供應 (12/9/2020),菜單請參考最後一張圖。非常推薦給還沒嘗試過的你,真的很抵食!一般餐廳是不可能食到,供應有限,請自行向「綠色心活館」查詢 😋
Kwun Tong│Raw Food is more than just SALAD
Although I am a vegan, I hate salad the most in my life because it is all vegetables! For Raw Food, that is, cooking at a low temperature below 41 degrees, I know that it can maximize the preservation of the nutrition of vegetables. However, I don't like eating veggies. After I tasted the raw sushi for the first time that made by Megan (a master of Raw Food), it was like discovering a new world and I started to be curious about raw food 🥳
Earlier, I was fortunate enough to taste this "Raw Lasagne" at "Green Living", which once again opened my eyes! This is actually the true face of raw food? Can you believe it? This lasagna contains all kinds of seasonal vegetables with special sauces. I really don’t think this is raw food. I especially want to introduce the salad. I remember Megan brought a large plate of salad to me and her husband. We both said, Wow, too much! Who can finish it? It seems that we do not like veggies. After a few minutes, we finished the whole plate? ! Megan said after seeing it, Did you guys just say you can't finish it? 🤣😅 The secret in the salad is the SAUCE! The house-made smoky flavor with probiotic salad sauce is the best I have ever eaten. This is the first time in my life that I can finish a whole plate of salad in one go! I even want to continue eating!
The entire menu includes appetizers, main dishes, special drinks and desserts. It takes more effort to process raw food than ordinary ingredients, so the meal is not available every day, it seems to happen only once in a few months! Luckily, it happens to be available today (12/9/2020), please refer to the last picture for the menu. It is highly recommended to you who have not tried it, because it's impossible to order in general restaurants, and the supply is limited. Please check with "Green Living" by yourself 😋
