Dough意思
"Dough" 這個詞在英語中有多種含義,但最常見的是指用於烘焙的未發酵的麵團,通常用來製作麵包、餅乾、派皮等。例如:
- "She kneaded the dough until it was smooth and elastic."
- "The bakery sells fresh dough for customers to make their own pizzas at home."
此外,"dough" 還可以用來非正式地指代金錢或財富。這個用法可能源自於古代用麵團來製作硬幣的過程。例如:
- "He made a fortune in real estate, but he's always been good with dough."
- "I need some dough to pay my rent this month."
在俚語中,"dough" 還可以用來表示食物,尤其是指快餐或垃圾食品。這個用法並不常見,但有時會在非正式對話中出現。例如:
- "I'm starving, let's grab some dough for dinner."
在數學中,"dough" 有時被用作分數的單位,尤其是在談論分數的分子時。例如:
- "The fraction is three and seven-elevenths, or three and seven-dough."
請注意,"dough" 通常用於非正式場合,尤其是在口語中。在更正式的場合或書面語中,通常使用 "money" 來指代財富,而不是 "dough"。
