It is a slightly old-fashioned, storybook word這是個有點老派、故事書會用的詞, more at home in writing than in the canteen比較適合出現在文字裡，而不是在餐廳裡講。A child might say a little bit小孩可能會說a little bit; a novel might say a morsel小說可能會說a morsel。It can sound gentle它聽起來可以很溫柔, even a bit sweet甚至有點甜美。

Though actually不過, it starts from biting它源自「咬」這個動作: the older French and Latin behind it are "a little bite,"背後較早的法文和拉丁文意思是「小小的一口」, not "a little thing" in general不是泛指的「小東西」。That is why food is still the first picture the word paints這就是為什麼食物依然是這個詞給人的第一印象。
