1. cook
做飯/廚師
cook dinner
做晚飯/做飯
cook meals
做飯
prepare dishes
準(zhǔn)備飯菜
Notes:首先,關(guān)于做飯就有很多種表達(dá)方式,以上都是做菜/飯的意思。“cook”除了做動(dòng)詞,表示“做菜,烹飪”,還可以做名詞,表示“廚師”。那么,問題來了:你會(huì)做飯嗎?你的廚藝如何?請(qǐng)看例句:
I love cooking, also very handy at cooking.
我喜歡并且非常擅長(zhǎng)做飯。
It’s my turn to cook dinner, but I’m a terrible cook. Can you help me prepare dishes?
該我做飯了,但我廚藝很差。你能幫我準(zhǔn)備飯菜嗎?
短語“handy at”表示“擅長(zhǎng)某件事”。廚藝好除了“good/handy at cooking”還可以用“a good cook”等方式表達(dá);類似的,廚藝差可以用“lousy at cooking”“a bad/terrible cook”等表達(dá)方式。

Notes:如何說一道菜很好吃或者很難吃呢?相信大家都有在餐館里吃到美味的和難吃的菜的經(jīng)歷。以上列舉了一些意義相反的形容詞。其中,“yummy”是非正式用法,比較適合小盆友;savory還有名詞意義,指“開胃菜”;flavorless偏向于美式用法??纯蠢浒?
