使用 "feast on + 食物/名詞" 來表示享用具體事物，避免使用 "feast to do" 的不正確結構。
feast vs eat
「feast」強調豐盛、歡樂地享用大量美食，通常與慶祝或特殊場合相關；「eat」則是普通、中性的「吃」，適用於日常進食。
feast vs dine
「feast」強調食物豐盛與盡情享樂；「dine」則較正式、優雅，側重用餐的場合與禮儀，不一定指食物分量多。
feast vs devour
「feast」是愉悅、從容地享用大餐；「devour」則是狼吞虎嚥、急切地吃光，強調速度和貪婪，不一定與慶祝相關。
用於引述或重複他人關於享受美食或樂趣的提議或評論，帶有認同或興奮的語氣。 EN: A: "They have a whole buffet of desserts." B: "Oh, feast away! I'm not stopping you." 翻譯: A: "他們有一整排的甜點自助餐。" B: "噢，盡情享用吧！我不會阻止你的。"
EN:So you're telling me we can just feast on all this street food for the next hour?
翻譯:所以你是說我們接下來一個小時可以盡情享用這些街頭小吃？
在口語中，常用來誇張地強調「大量享用」或「沉浸於」某種非食物的體驗，帶有幽默或生動的意味。 EN: Come over to my new place—we can feast our eyes on the mountain view. 翻譯: 來我的新家吧——我們可以好好欣賞山景，大飽眼福。
EN:After the exam, I just want to go home and feast on mindless TV shows.
翻譯:考完試後，我只想回家盡情看些不用動腦的電視節目。
在描述計畫或回憶時，作為一個生動的動詞填充，使敘述更形象，常與 "on" 連用。 EN: The plan is to... feast on local delicacies, maybe do some sightseeing, and just relax. 翻譯: 計畫是…大啖當地美食，也許觀光一下，然後放鬆就好。
EN:I remember we would just... feast whenever we visited grandma's house.
翻譯:我記得我們以前只要去奶奶家…就會大吃一頓。
正式寫作注意：在正式或學術寫作中，應避免將 "feast" 用於非食物相關的比喻（如 "feast on information"），這被視為過於口語化。建議使用更中性的詞彙，如 "indulge in", "consume", 或 "immerse oneself in"。

×We had a big feast to celebrate.
✓We feasted to celebrate.
The word 'feast' is being used as a noun here, not a verb. As a verb, 'feast' means 'to eat a large amount of food' or 'to enjoy something greatly'. Use the verb form 'feasted' to describe the action.
×We feasted for the local delicacies.
✓We feasted on the local delicacies.
The verb 'feast' is typically followed by the preposition 'on' to introduce the food or thing being enjoyed. Using 'for' is incorrect in this context.
×They feasted all night.
✓They feasted on the banquet all night.
While the sentence is grammatically correct, it is often vague. The verb 'feast' usually implies a specific object (food or an experience). Adding 'on [something]' makes the meaning clearer and more natural.
×Yesterday we feast on pizza.
✓Yesterday we feasted on pizza.
The past tense of the verb 'feast' is 'feasted', not 'feast'. This is a regular verb, but learners sometimes forget to add the '-ed' ending for past actions.
×I was very hungry, so I feasted a sandwich.
✓I was very hungry, so I ate a sandwich heartily.
The verb 'feast' implies a large, elaborate, or celebratory meal, not just eating something quickly or hungrily. For a simple meal like a sandwich, use 'eat heartily' or 'devour' instead.
×I feasted the beautiful scenery.
✓I feasted my eyes on the beautiful scenery.
When using 'feast' in a metaphorical sense (to enjoy something visually or mentally), the common fixed phrase is 'feast one's eyes on something'. Omitting 'my eyes on' makes the sentence incorrect.
