Thought expressions, common phrases
food for thought
This phrase refers to something that makes you think deeply or gives you something to think about.
Example: The documentary provided a lot of food for thought about climate change.
Note: The phrase 'food for thought' uses 'food' metaphorically to represent something that nourishes your mind, whereas 'thought' on its own refers to the act of thinking.
train of thought
This phrase describes the sequence of thoughts in one's mind, especially when speaking or writing.
Example: I lost my train of thought when someone interrupted me during the presentation.
Note: While 'train of thought' focuses on the flow and sequence of thoughts, 'thought' alone refers to the mental process of considering or reflecting on something.
second thought
This phrase means without hesitation or without further consideration.
Example: She accepted the job offer without a second thought.
Note: Unlike 'second thought' which implies a lack of hesitation, 'thought' by itself refers to the mental process of considering something.
