bake something vs bake to do something
- bake something 通常指具體地「烘烤某物」，如蛋糕、麵包等實體食物。
- bake to do something 則較為少見，通常用於表達「為了某個目的而烘烤」或「烘烤以便做某事」，語意上強調目的或結果。
- 在描述單純的烹飪活動時，使用 bake something 是最自然、最常見的結構。
- 當需要強調烘烤是為了達成後續某個動作（如分享、販售）的手段時，才會考慮使用 bake to do something 的結構。 EN: She loves to bake chocolate chip cookies for her friends. 翻譯: 她喜歡為朋友們烘焙巧克力碎片餅乾。
EN:She will bake a large batch of cookies to sell at the charity fair.
翻譯:她會烤一大批餅乾，以便在慈善義賣會上販售。
總結建議
一般情況下，使用「bake + 食物名稱」即可清晰表達烘烤的動作，僅在需要特別強調目的時才使用「bake to + 動詞」的結構。
