    Getting plenty of good food, and looking like it. The word is not really about one big meal — it is about a steady state over time, so it describes people, animals and sometimes whole populations.

    Getting plenty of good food吃得到充足的好食物, and looking like it而且看起來就是這樣。 The word這個字 is not really about說的其實不是 one big meal某一頓大餐—— it is about它說的是 over time長時間下來 a steady state的穩定狀態, so it所以它 describes可以描述 people, animals人、動物, and sometimes whole populations有時甚至整群人口。

    Two flavours to notice. Said about a child, an animal or a group of people, it is warm and slightly serious: it means they are not going hungry, which is the opposite of . Aid workers and news reports use it that way.

    to notice值得注意的 Two flavours兩種味道。 Said about用來說 a child, an animal or a group of people小孩、動物或一群人時, it is warm and slightly serious它是溫暖而稍微嚴肅的: it means它的意思是 they are not going hungry他們沒有在挨餓, which is也就是 undernourished營養不良 the opposite of的相反。 Aid workers and news reports救援人員和新聞報導 use it that way就是這樣用它的。

    Said about a grown adult, especially a comfortable-looking man, it can be a gentle joke, hinting that he is a bit round and has never missed a meal — 'a well-fed businessman'. Tone and context tell you which one is meant, and the joking use is teasing rather than cruel.

    Said about用來說 a grown adult一個成年人, especially尤其是 a comfortable-looking man看起來日子過得舒服的男人時, it can be a gentle joke它可以是個溫和的玩笑, hinting that暗示 he is a bit round他有點圓潤, and has never missed a meal而且從來沒少吃過一餐—— 'a well-fed businessman'一位養得很好的生意人。 Tone and context語氣和上下文 tell you會告訴你 which one is meant指的是哪一種, and the joking use而開玩笑的那種用法 is teasing是逗弄, rather than cruel而不是刻薄。

    It also carries a faint sense of being looked after by someone else, because fed is passive — someone did the feeding. That is why it sounds natural about a baby, a dog, or soldiers, and a little odd about a person who cooks for themselves.

    It also carries它也帶著 of being looked after by someone else被別人照顧 a faint sense的一絲意味, because因為 fedfed is passive是被動的—— someone有人 did the feeding做了餵這個動作。 That is why這就是為什麼 about a baby, a dog, or soldiers用在嬰兒、狗或士兵身上 it sounds natural它聽起來自然, about a person who cooks for themselves用在自己煮飯給自己吃的人身上 and a little odd就有一點怪。
