“it feels like you have more agency in your thought, right, because you're being introduced to various ways of thinking and you have more room to formulate your own ideas, whereas for social media, it's like the ideas are coming to you and instead of sitting at a buffet of knowledge and like you can like, oh, I'm going to eat the chicken, I'm going to eat the broccoli, or well, I've never tried this dish-”

How is "Dish" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Dish"?
dish up vs. dish out
- dish up 通常指「（將食物）盛到盤子裡」或「上菜」，是一個具體的、服務性的動作。
- dish out 則有兩個主要含義：一是「（大量）分發食物」，二是引申為「大量給予（批評、讚美、懲罰等）」，常帶有隨意或大量的意味。
- 在談論食物時，dish up 強調準備和提供的最後一步，而 dish out 強調分發的行為。
對比例句： EN: Could you help me dish up the stew for the guests? 翻譯: 你能幫我把燉菜盛給客人嗎？
EN:The cafeteria staff quickly dish out meals to the long queue.
翻譯:食堂員工迅速地把餐點分發給長長的人龍。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Dish"?Which "Dish" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I will dish the food.
✓I will dish up the food.
作為動詞時，'dish' 通常與 'up' 或 'out' 等介系詞連用，表示『盛出、分發（食物）』。單獨使用 'dish' 作動詞較不自然。
×She dished the gossip to everyone.
✓She dished the dirt on him to everyone.
動詞 'dish' 在非正式用法中表示『說閒話、揭發醜事』時，常與 'the dirt' 或特定受詞（如 'gossip'）連用，或使用片語 'dish on (someone)'。單獨使用 'dish' 加上『閒話』作為受詞並不常見。
×He dished a new plan.
✓He dished out a new plan. / He served up a new plan.
'Dish' 作動詞主要與實體食物或比喻性的『給予（常指批評、懲罰、任務等）』有關。表示『提出（計畫、想法）』時，使用 'dish out' 或更常見的 'serve up' 更為貼切。單獨使用 'dish' 不適用於此情境。
×Please dish the table.
✓Please set the table. / Please serve the food.
這是常見的混淆。'Dish' 作動詞是『盛裝（食物）』的動作，而不是『擺放餐具』或泛指『準備餐桌』。『擺放餐具』的正確動詞是 'set'。
×I dished him a compliment.
✓I paid him a compliment. / I dished out a compliment.
雖然 'dish out' 可以比喻性地用於分配事物（如批評、讚美、任務），但『給予讚美』更地道的說法是 'pay a compliment'。使用 'dish out a compliment' 帶有較隨意或大量分發的意味，語境較有限。
