大家都知道,food是食物的意思,thought是思想的意思。food for thought连在一起,就是指“引人深思的事情”。刚才我们说到的,什么买票上月球啊,这些事情可能发生,也可能是空想,但是不管怎样都会引起大家的思考。
例句:
I heard something interesting at a seminar. If you don't like long meetings, ask everyone to stay standing. Now I don't know if employees at my company would try that idea, but it's certainly food for thought.
我在一次研讨会上听到了一种很有意思的说法,说如果你不喜欢开长会,就让所有人都站着。我不知道我们公司的人是否愿意尝试这种做法,但这确实很有意思。
Consider this: getting lost in a daydream can help you deal with difficult situations in your life. It can not only relieve stress, but stimulate solutions. Hopefully, this gives you some food for thought.
想想看,白日做梦能帮助你面对生活中遇到的困境,不仅能够帮助你释放压力,有时还能刺激你找到出路。希望这么说能引起你的思考。
