dory
noun核心畫面
One picture for this dory: a plain wooden boat with nothing in it but two oars and a bench. The bottom is flat, so it sits steady in shallow water and can be dragged straight up onto sand without any harbour at all. The ends narrow to a point so it can push through . It is light, so a bigger fishing ship can carry several on deck and drop them over the side when it reaches the fishing ground. Everything about the shape is answering one question: how do you get one person, a few nets and a day's catch on and off the water in the simplest way possible?

這個 dory 可以想成一艘什麼都沒有的木船：裡面只有兩支槳和一塊坐板。船底是平的，所以停在淺水裡很穩，也可以直接拖上沙灘，完全不需要碼頭。兩頭收成尖的，划出去才推得開浪。它很輕，所以大漁船可以在甲板上疊好幾艘，到了漁場再一艘艘放下水。整個造型其實都在回答同一個問題：怎麼用最簡單的方式，把一個人、幾張網和一天的漁獲送上水又帶回岸上。From the word’s history

dory
noun核心畫面
This dory starts from a colour. The old French word behind it means gilded, covered in gold, and the fish it names catches the light that way. Hold the picture of the animal and the food together: a tall thin fish with enormous eyes and a skin that shines, and then the flat white piece of it on a plate. That is why the word counts two ways. One dory, two dories when you mean the creature on the ice at the market; no a at all when you mean the meat on the menu.
這個 dory 是從一個顏色開始的。它背後的古法文意思是「鍍了金的」，而這種魚身上正好有那種會反光的金黃色。把兩個畫…更多收起
這個 dory 是從一個顏色開始的。它背後的古法文意思是「鍍了金的」，而這種魚身上正好有那種會反光的金黃色。把兩個畫面放在一起看：一條又高又薄、眼睛特別大、魚皮閃亮的魚，還有盤子上那片白白的魚肉。這就是為什麼它有兩種算法。講魚市冰台上的那條生物時可數，說 one dory、two dories；講菜單上的那塊肉時不加 a。From the word’s history
Wiktionary traces it from Middle English dorry, from Old French doree, the past participle of dorer, to gild, from Latin deauratus, and notes the fish's golden skin as a likely reason for the name John Dory.
維基詞典把它追到中古英文 dorry，再到古法文 doree，也就是 dorer（鍍金）的過去分詞，源頭是拉丁文 deauratus。資料也提到這種魚金色的魚皮可能就是 John Dory 這個名字的由來。
