杰夫的一天 第88期：做晚飯 吃晚飯和清洗餐具講解(2)

Well, "I clean off the kitchen counter after" I put "away the groceries." 好了，“在把食物放好之后我便清理了一下廚房柜臺”。

The groceries, "groceries," (plural) are the food that I buy at the market. 雜貨(groceries)(復(fù)數(shù))是我在超市買的食物。

We sometimes call a supermarket a grocery store, 我們有時把超市稱雜貨店，

a place that you buy groceries — buy food that you bring home and prepare and eat at home. 你購買雜貨的地方——購買你帶回去準備在家吃的食物。

I decided "to make pasta." So, "I preheat the oven to 375." 我決定“做意大利面”。因此，“我將烤箱預(yù)先加熱到375華氏度”。

To preheat, "preheat," really means the same here as to heat, 預(yù)熱(preheat)，在這里和加熱的意思相同，

but if you look at the instructions for making food, what we would call the recipe, "recipe," the recipe for making food, 但如果你參看食物制作指南，也就是我們所說的食譜(recipe)，

usually it begins, if you are going to cooking something in the oven, by telling you to preheat the oven. 通常會這樣開頭，在烹飪食物之前先預(yù)熱烤箱。

That just means to turn it on so that when you are ready, when it is hot, you can put the food in to cook. 這句話的意思就是把它打開，這樣當你準備好了、它又是熱的時候，你就可以把東西放在里面烹飪。

Pre, "pre," means before or to do something before. “Pre”的意思是“在……前面”或“做某事之前”。

So, "I preheat the oven to 375," in other words, 375 degrees Fahrenheit. 因此，“我將烤箱預(yù)先加熱到375”，也就是375華氏度。
