That's why all-you-can-eat buffets tend to keep their plateware small — so you think you're eating more when you really aren't.

这就是为什么无限量供应的自助餐倾向于使用小餐具——这样客人会认为自己吃得比较多，而实际上并非如此。

A lot of flavor manipulation comes from a phenomenon called sensation transference, where we transfer the properties of the plateware or utensil to the food we eat from it.

很多对味觉的影响来自一种叫做感觉转移的现象，餐具或器皿的特性会转移到我们用它吃的食物中。
