网上最近流行一个段子,因为战“疫”,全民成了厨子,医护成战士,老师当主播,公务人员成了门卫......
做厨子当然离不开“买菜”“做饭”......
今天就来教大家一些关于“买菜”的日常表达!
买菜的菜只是一个统称,我们可以使用grocery来表示,指小型的杂货店。在美国英语中,“杂货店”常被用来指“超市”。特点是小而精,侧重食物和生活用品。
买菜的话可以使用以下几种表达方式:
Do/go grocery shopping Get groceries买菜
Pick up groceries买菜,顺道买菜
Create your dinner menu for the entire week, and then go grocery shopping to get what you need for every dinner.
设计好一周的正餐食谱,并去商店买好需要的食材。
2 Do lunch不是让你“做午饭”
别人问你Can you do lunch,别以为要你准备食材,开火做饭,其实是问你,有没有空一起吃午饭,do除了助动词"做",口语中有很多实用表达:
do lunch=to have lunch,但听起来口气更加亲密,说话的两人是熟人,关系轻松随意。
再比如下午想出去喝个咖啡提提神,也可以直接说Let's do Starbucks.
总结:do+早/午/晚饭 Good! I was just calling to see if you wanted to do lunch tomorrow?
很好。我就是想打来问下明天是否有时间一起吃午饭?
而“做饭”英文表达不是make rice,与上述提及的第一点买菜的英文表达方式一样的逻辑,做饭并不只是煮米,煮饭也是一个统称,还会烹饪其他料理。
因此,做饭可以使用动词cook来表示烹饪,做饭。作为名词的时候则表示做饭的人。
Because of this outbreak, we cook at home almost every day.
因为疫情的关系,我们基本上天天在家做饭。
3 做瑜伽不是play yoga!
我们都知道"做某项运动",前面是加play或者go,比如play basketball打篮球,go swimming游泳,但是"做瑜伽"的正确的动词是do,do yoga.
Most Western women do yoga or at least go to the gym.
大部分西方女士做瑜伽或者至少会去健身所运动。
