第二个意思是“嚼，咬”Would you like some gum to chew 你想吃口香糖吗？She gave the children some sweets to chew during the long car journey.在漫长的汽车旅行途中，她给了孩子们些糖果嚼着吃。
那么关于“a lot to chew on”，很多朋友会误以为食物“很有嚼头”，其实不然。 “chew on”的真实含义是“思考，细品”What the professor said offers a lot to chew on.教授说得很值得人深思。I've been chewing on this job offer for days, but I still haven't made a decision.关于这份工作，我思量了很久。
