a: Bile ~
b: soap
What: This is a good analogy. There are many people on the web who have made this association. The fats people eat, almost by definition, are not miscible with water. Think Italian Salad dressing as a common visible example of this situation. The fat phase needs to be emulsified. That is they need to be dissolved into little particles that can readily absorbed by intestines. The gallbladder secretes molecules that have similar physical properties to that of soap. They can turn a hug blob of fast into tiny spherical particles of emulsifier plus fat.

On Translations....
a: A natural sentence ~
b: well made furniture
What: "Having jettisoned the idea of word-by-word translation, you have another burden to deal with. What we call "Grammar" is a double edged knife, on the one side there are simple and direct connections of words with words and with ideas, the glue of cementing words into phrases and sentences. Think of English, how invisible the glue and the glue joints of this sentence which I am writing, actually are. A natural sentence is like well made furniture where the fingernail can't find the joint, to use the Roman poet's example."
