介绍（中）	这个铜板上的场景通常被认为代表亚里士多德被菲利斯骑着，但它可能更准确地被认为是对一个女人暴虐统治的一般描述纺纱一直被认为是妇女的工作。当这个盘子被制造出来的时候，一种相对复杂的纺车已经被开发出来了，正如1480年《豪斯布赫的密特拉特尔里希报》中的一幅插图所示。图中左边的物体代表了从固定的远端用手纺羊毛的方法（其优点是双手自由，一只用来旋转锭子，另一只用来抽出纤维）。然而，纺到锭子上的纱线不能滑落，而是必须用一个交叉卷轴卷下来，就像这个盘子上的人拿着的那样。事实上，一个人可能会被简化为绞链，这对中世纪的观众来说是非常有趣的，但他已经被简化到了一个最尴尬的位置，并且正在被殴打——可能是因为他没有正确地执行哪怕是最简单的任务——只能被视为一部国内讽刺剧，与菲利斯和亚里士多德的故事截然不同。然而，妻子跨坐在丈夫身上的图案可能来源于此。这种大小和深度的盘子既可以作为将大部分食物端上餐桌的盘子，也可以作为可以倒水的盆。
介绍（英）	The scene on this copper plate is usually thought to represent Aristotle being ridden by Phyllis, but it may be more accurately identified as a general depiction of a woman’s tyrannical rule. Spinning has throughout the ages been considered the work of women. By the time this plate was made, a relatively sophisticated type of spinning wheel had been developed, as seen in an illustration in Das Mittelalterliche Hausbuch of about 1480. The object to the left in this plate represents the method of spinning wool by hand from a fixed distaff (which had the advantage of leaving both hands free, one to rotate the spindle and the other to draw out the fibers). The yarn spun onto the spindle, however, could not be slipped off but had to be wound off with a cross-reel such as that held by the men on this plate. The fact that a man could be reduced to hank winding would alone have been quite amusing to Medieval viewers, but that he has been reduced to a most embarrassing position, and is in the process of being beaten - possibly for not correctly performing even this simplest of tasks - can only be viewed as a domestic satire, quite different from the story of Phyllis and Aristotle. The motif of the wife astride her husband, however, has probably derived from it. A plate of this size and depth could have served either as a charge on which to carry large portions of food to the table, or as a basin into which water could be poured.
