Cách sử dụng
The expression "on a silver platter" is typically used when someone is given something without having to work for it or put in any effort. It refers to the idea of someone being served food on a fancy silver platter, which suggests that the item is valuable and has been presented in an elegant way. For example, if someone is given a job without having to interview or apply for it, they might say that it was "handed to them on a silver platter." Alternatively, if someone is criticizing another person for always expecting things to be given to them, they might say that they "want everything handed to them on a silver platter." The expression can be used in both positive and negative contexts, but it generally implies that something has been given to someone without them putting in much effort to earn it.
