铲子、漏勺、汤勺，英文怎么说？

有种“锅”的英文来自中文，你知道是哪种吗？

盛饭、盛汤的“盛”，有对应的英文吗？

Little Kitchen

小厨房

Child: Mommy, will you play kitchen with me?

宝宝：妈妈，您能跟我玩小厨房吗？

Play后面直接加kitchen指玩小厨房的这个游戏。

Mom: Sure! Let's use your new kitchen toys.

妈妈：好呀！咱们就用你的新厨房玩具吧。

Child: What's this one called, Mommy?

宝宝：这个叫什么，妈妈？

Mom: Let's lay them all out and I will tell you the names of each one and what they are used for.

妈妈：咱们把它们摆好，然后我告诉你每一个都叫什么，都是干什么用的。

From the left side to the right side we have:

从左到右是：

(1) A whisk 搅拌器

– we use this to mix ingredients together

我们用它把原料搅合在一起

or for mixing eggs up to make scrambled eggs

或者打鸡蛋，做炒鸡蛋

(2) A chef's knife 厨师刀

– we use this knife to cut fruit and vegetables

我们用这个刀切水果和蔬菜

(3) A spoon 勺子

– to eat with

吃东西用

(4) A fork 叉子

- to eat with

吃东西用

(5) A dinner knife 餐刀

– to cut your food up to eat

吃的时候切食物

(6) A ladle 汤勺

– to serve soup

用来盛汤

Serve这个词，指的是将饭菜盛好、上桌，我们认为和中文的“盛”是比较对应的。但是，get这个万能动词用来翻译这里的“盛”更常见。你能给我盛点米饭吗，用Could you get / serve me some rice, please? Get比较随意，serve比较正式。

(7) A spatula 铲子

– to lift and move food from and around the pan

用来把食物盛起来和在锅里翻动

(8) A masher 捣碎器

– to make food soft like mashed potatoes

用来把食物弄软，比如土豆泥

(9) A cleaver knife 剁肉刀

– for cutting meat

用来切肉

小雅家切菜也是用这种类型的刀，只不过会和切肉的刀分开。是不是咱们中国家庭都这样？

(10) A slotted spoon 漏勺

– for scooping things out of liquid like an egg out of boiling water

用来从汤水里捞东西，比如从开水里捞鸡蛋

(11) And a spoon 勺

– for serving food

盛食物

Then you have your little kitchen.

然后是你的小厨房。

It has 2 burners (3), each with its own temperature knob (4) and a pot (2) and a pan (1).

它有两个灶眼，每个各有一个温度调节旋钮、一个煮锅和一个煎锅。

Wok-炒锅一词来自广东话，具有十足的中国特色，但它在美国越来越普遍，特别是近十年来。

Child: Thank you. I am going to make you some pancakes first.

宝宝：谢谢。我先给您做点烤饼。

Mom: Yummy! I love pancakes.

妈妈：太好吃了！我喜欢烤饼。

You can use your whisk to mix up the ingredients.

你可以用搅拌器把原料搅合到一起。

Then pour them into the pan and use the spatula to flip them over.

然后把它们倒进锅里，用铲子翻炒它们。

Child: Here you go, Mommy, pancakes with maple syrup.

宝宝：给您，妈妈，枫树蜜烤饼。
