🇺🇸美國生活諺語：dish篇🍽
1⃣ a dish (though it's a bit old-fashioned)
2⃣ Revenge is a dish best served cold
3⃣ dish it out; sb. can dish it out, but not take it
4⃣ dish the dirt (on); dish on
--
When we say “wash the dishes,” we mean all the tableware, and even the silverware. But in English, whereas plates are usually used to eat from, dishes, which are flatter than bowls, and not as flat as plates (and sometimes have lids), are used to serve or cook food. And a dish can also refer to the food that is served in the dish. Now let’s learn some other dish-related idioms!
我們知道 wash the dishes「洗碗」是泛指洗所有的餐具，即使是銀製餐具也算在內。但是在英國，plate跟dish則是兩種不同的東西，plate 是進餐時用的淺盤，而 dish 則是比碗淺但比 plate 深的深盤（有時還附蓋子），通常是裝盛菜餚出餐或烹煮食物用。dish 也可以指該道菜。說完了，接下來就來介紹跟 dish 一字有關的諺語吧。
You know that a serving of food can be called a dish, but what if you 1⃣call a person a dish? It means they’re sexy and attractive. This expression, which sounds a little old-fashioned these days, likely has it’s origins in comparing a person to a delicious dish of food. Ex: Wow, she’s gorgeous—what a dish!
你知道一道菜可以用 a dish 稱之，但你叫一個人a dish又是怎麼回事？其實是說那個人性感吸引力十足，「是你的菜」。儘管這個表達放在現在已經有點過時，就跟拿一道菜來比喻一個人一樣過氣。如：Wow, she’s gorgeous—what a dish!（哇，那個妹有夠正的──是天菜。）
Besides food, what else can be served on dishes? Revenge! Have you ever heard the proverb, 2⃣“Revenge is a dish best served cold”? It means that revenge is most satisfying when one takes the time to plan it carefully and carry it out when your enemy least suspects it, rather than immediately after one is wronged. This expression has existed for hundreds of years, but it was made popular when it appeared in the 1982 movie, Star Trek II, the Wrath of Khan. Ex: A: How can you let him get away with treating you like that? B: I won’t, but revenge is a dish best served cold.
除了食物，還有什麼可以裝在盤子上？仇恨！你有聽過俗語「君子報仇三年不晚」（Revenge is a dish best served cold）嗎？指與其立即復仇，花時間慢慢計畫再實行，讓敵人放下戒心之後再復仇，這樣會更令人滿足。1982年電影《星艦迷航記2: 星戰大怒吼》讓這個存在已經好幾百年的老俗語再次流行起來。如：A: How can you let him get away with treating you like that? 你怎麼能忍受他這樣對待你？ B: I won’t, but revenge is a dish best served cold. 我不會繼續忍下去的，但是君子報仇三年不晚。
As a verb, dish means “to serve,” and is the basis of a number of expressions. To 3⃣“dish it out” means to criticize or insult, and is often used in the idiom, “sb. can dish it out, but not take it,” which is used to describe people who are quick to criticize others, but can’t take criticism themselves. Ex: A: I didn’t realize that Karen was so thin-skinned. B: Yeah. She can dish it out, but she can’t take it.
dish當動詞指「上菜」，也延伸出好幾種諺語用法。dish it out指「批評，侮辱」，常出現在sb. can dish it out, but not take it.這個諺語中，指「愛批評他人卻批評不得的人」。如：A: I didn’t realize that Karen was so thin-skinned. 我不明白為什麼凱倫會這麼膚淺。B: Yeah. She can dish it out, but she can’t take it.是啊，她愛批評別人，但見不得別人批評她。
Another idiom with dish as a verb is 4⃣“dish the dirt (on),” which means to gossip about someone or something. Ex: Let’s sit down, have a drink and dish the dirt. The expression “dish on” also has the same meaning. Ex: Why are you always dishing on Patricia?
另一個dish當動詞的諺語是dish the dirt on，指「八卦某事或某人」。如Let’s sit down, have a drink and dish the dirt.（咱們坐下來喝杯茶聊八卦吧。）也可以用dish on表示：Why are you always dishing on Patricia?（為什麼你總是在八卦派翠西亞？）

satisfying用法 在 Re: [解題] 靜被動語態- 精華區teaching 的推薦與評價
剛剛打的文章突然按到放棄了，
只好再打一次（簡略版）
字典有說satisfy也有滿足（慾望、標準、需求等）的意思
如satisfy one's curiosity滿足好奇心
所以當好奇心被滿足時，可以說My curiosity is satisfied.
簡單說，這句應該只是單純的被動句子
the functions in the phone are just not satisfied.
手機的功能不被滿足
主動的句子應該是You/People just don't satisfy the functions in the phone.
查字典就可以知道satisfy也可用人當主詞而不是只能用物當主詞
個人小見解，有錯請指教
※ 引述《vcjj (Extraordinary)》之銘言：
: ※ 引述《coes (閒置人口)》之銘言：
: : 請問版上各位老師
: : I'm interested in this book. / This book is interesting
: : I'm satisfied with your report. / Your report is satisfying
: : ︿︿︿︿ ︿︿︿︿︿
: : 是用過去分詞和現在分詞當形容詞用法，
: : 但請各位來看看這句：
: : Or would you rather carry a digital camera besides your cell phone,
: : because the functions in the phone are just not satisfied.
: : ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: : 同學問我說：既然前面的主詞是functions不是人，為什麼不是satisfying?
: : 我跟他說是當形容詞用呀，但他顯然不是很滿意我的答案，
: : 請問版上各位老師要怎麼解釋比較讓他能夠接受？
: : 先謝謝各位老師喔！
: 因為推文有點混亂 而我正好又查了一下字典
: 所以現在要在小小撒野一下囉 ^^a
: 首先我先闡明我的立場
: "我不覺得像terrify跟satisfy這類的字有一個所謂的標準可供依循"
: 因為我們已經學英文學了這麼久 應該知道每個字都有其個別用法
: 加上使用習慣的問題
: 當我們這些老師們在討論時 應先理清正確用法
: 再決定教學時可以教到哪裡 以及發展出可供學生依循的規則
: *******************************************************************
: 開始解題囉!
: the functions in the phone are just not satisfied.
: ^^^^^^^^^^
: 這裡的satisfied我認為應用satisfactory
: 但若要認真討論satisfied跟satisfying的差別
: 就要搬出英英解釋囉! (出自我的好搭檔Longman)
: satisfied adj.
: -- pleased because something has happeded in the way that you want,
: or because you have got what you want
: (e.g) "I like being forty," she said with a satisfied grin.
: (「我喜歡變成四十歲」，她帶著一個感到滿足的笑容說著。)
: 這裡的satisfied grin意思是 因為感到滿足而笑
: 相較之下 satisfying grin就是令人滿意(足)的笑容
: 自此處我推論→the functions are not satisfied應該是有誤的
: 因為不能翻成 "因感到滿足而有的功能"
: 並且得到 satisfied可以用來修飾物
: (插嘴一下 我一直都不太支持用"人或物"來死記)
: satisfying adj.
: -- making you feel pleased and happy,
: especially because you have got what you wanted.
: (e.g) June was looking for a new and satisfying career.
: (June那時正在尋找一個能令她滿意的新工作。)
: 這個觀念就跟我們想的一樣
: 現在分詞表「令人感到~的」
: 說到這邊 我認為 the functions are not satisfying應該是對的
: ◎ 那現在來討論一下 如果把satisfied當成是被動語態是否正確
: satisfy v.
: -- to make someone feel pleased by doing what they want.
: (e.g) The functions in the phone do not satisfy me.
: ＝ I am not satisfied with(by?) the functions in the phone.
: 從以上得知 用被動來解釋似乎也有漏洞
: 是不是其實題目錯了呢？
: 看了這麼多 感覺很像鬼打牆
: 我自己差點邏輯也要跑掉了 ^^a
: 不過我只覺得 身為一個老師 也是一個熟悉英文使用的人
: 不能完全被題目牽著走啊! > <"
: 建議如果再有多一些例子 應該更可以拿來討論喔！
: (期中考要讀不完了 我還在這裡撒野 ><)
: 希望大家多多指教喔!
