公司承接活動，Kim和外國同事一起到現場監場，看著台上的橋段，同事說了一句“ They are hamming it up.”Kim摸不著頭腦，火腿？在哪？
ham可以用來指稱演技拙劣的演員，變成動詞，用來描述某人表演的舉止過於誇張，過多情感而顯得做作，有時也可以是為了製造笑點而刻意做的表演方式。
我們談過 be cheesed off 是感到煩躁、挫敗、butter someone up是拍某人馬屁，這些用法讓英文有道地感，也讓句子生動，來看看其他從食物延伸的動詞片語。
1. egg someone on 慫恿、鼓動某人鼓勵別人去做某件事情，尤其用在那些不想做的、或可能帶來不好結果的事。
He's egging you on. But I suggest you think twice. It's not a small investment.
（他在催促你下決定，但我建議你再想想，這可不是小額投資。）
He's egging you on. But I suggest you think twice. It's not a small investment.
