杰夫的一天 第34期：吃早餐講解(9)

"Usually I just have time to read" a couple of stories," a few of the stories. “我一般只有看幾個故事的時間，”

"When I've finished my cereal, I grab a banana and maybe make a slice of toast with jam." “吃完麥片后，我掰一根香蕉，還可能會做一片果醬吐司。”

To grab, "grab," means to take something, usually with your hand. 掰(grab)，意思是拿著某物，一般是用手。

To grab something with your hand means to pick it up—to take it with your hand. 用手掰某物意思是你抓著它——用手拿著它。

"I grab a banana," which I like to eat, and "a slice of toast with jam." “我掰一根香蕉，”我喜歡吃它，以及“一片果醬吐司。”

Toast, "toast," is bread that you put in something called a toaster, "toaster," 吐司(toast)，是你放進吐司機(toaster)里的面包，

and the toaster heats up the bread until the bread is brown on the outside. 這個吐司機會加熱這面包直至其表面變成棕色。

A slice of toast, "slice," is a piece of toast. 一片(slice)吐司，就是一塊吐司。

We use the words slice when we are talking about one piece of bread, or one piece of cake. 我們在說到一塊面包或一塊蛋糕的時候用“slice”這個字。

You can have a slice of cake; you can also have a slice of pie. 你可以有一塊蛋糕;也可以有一塊餡餅。

This is a slice of toast, which is bread that we put in a toaster, and we toast the bread. 這是一片吐司，它就是我們放在吐司爐里的面包，我們烤這個面包。

We can use toast as a verb as well. “Toast”也可以用作動詞。

And, after I toast the bread, I can put butter on it or I can put jam, "jam." 而且，烤完面包后，我會在它的上面涂上黃油或果醬(jam)。
