周末，常爸带小小常和Mike一同喝咖啡。Mike说起自个刚看的一部纪录片：
Mike：
Wow! That documentary is so interesting! I never knew there are so many different ways to recycle our trash.（哇哦！那部纪录片真实太风趣了！我历来不晓得收回废物有这么多办法。）
常爸：
Yes, it really is! And it certainly gave me some food for thought about recycling in our own workplace. （没错，真的太风趣了！而且这部纪录片真的给了我关于作业场所废物收回的food for thought。）
小小常：
Food? What food? We didn't order food at all!（吃的？啥吃的？咱们根柢没点吃的啊！）
Mike：
It's not real 
food, Victor! Food for thought means something that makes you think seriously. （这儿说的并不是真实的食物，小小常！Food for thought是指让你细心思考的东西。）
常爸：
Indeed. Now I believe we could recycle more in the office. （没错。如今我信赖在单位咱们可以做更多循环使用。）
小小常：
I can help, too! I will teach my friends at school what we learned.（我也能协助！我会把学到的办法教给学校的同学。）
Mike：
Excellent!（ 非常棒！）
food就是“食物”；thought标明?伎肌薄！癴ood for thought”字面意思是：给思维（吃）的食物，需要思维消化的食物，实践意思和吃的东西是没有联络的
，也不是精力粮食。
food for thought标明值得人沉思的作业或疑问，引发人思考的观念。give somebody food for thought就是“致使（或人）沉思”。
那么，有哪些场景能让人沉思呢？
?看书时：
Even though the book was bad, the story gave Marlena food for thought.即便这本书很糟，但书中的故事仍是很值得玛琳娜沉思。
?上课时：
The lecture was really interesting! It gave me a lot of food for thought.这堂课真的很风趣！给我留下了许多值得思考的疑问。
?择业时：
Now that I have finished university, I need
to choose a career path! There are so many options that I have a lot of food for thought.我大学结业了，如今面临择业！选择太多了，所以我需要好好思考思考。
?受挫时：
Our team lost the rugby game last weekend, but it is not just the scoreline that caused us most food for thought.咱们队上星期末输了橄榄球竞赛，但最让咱们沉思的不只是比分。
“food for thought”一词可以追溯到19世纪后期。不过，把消化“从胃转移到脑筋”的概念则来历于18世纪的法国大改造和启蒙运动时期，那时的我们初步解放思维，活泼地批判独裁主义、宗教愚蠢和特权主义，宣传安适、对等和民主。
除了food for thought这个说法，thought还有其他的固
定分配：
● give something some thought 仔沉思维I've been giving it some thought.（我一向在思考这件事。）● It's the thought that counts. 重在心意Although you don't like this present, it's the thought that counts.（尽管你不喜爱这个礼物，可是它却重在心意。）● as quick as thought 极快，一闪而过地I run out as quick as thought.（我飞快地跑了出去。）
没想到吧，这样一个简简略单的词，还有不稀有趣的用法呢。各位爸妈们，遇到这些场合时就可以用起来了！最终再偏重一遍，“food for thought”可不是“精力粮食”哦！
