可以将 “dough” 与 “bread”（面包）联系起来，两者都与面包制作有关。
When I was learning to bake bread, I had to learn how to work with dough - mixing flour and water, kneading it until it was smooth, and letting it rise. Working with dough takes practice, but there’s something satisfying about turning simple ingredients into bread. The word “dough” is also slang for money, probably because both are something you need to “work” with.
当我学习烤面包时，我必须学习如何使用面团——混合面粉和水，揉它直到光滑，然后让它发酵。使用面团需要练习，但将简单的配料变成面包有一些令人满意的东西。“面团”这个词也是钱的俚语，可能是因为两者都是你需要”工作”的东西。
