用法說明

How is "Cook" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Cook"?

like cooking vs like to cook

  • like cooking 強調享受「烹飪」這個活動或過程本身。
  • like to cook 則更常表示喜歡「去烹飪」這個習慣、選擇或安排,有時帶有「認為這是件好事」的意味。
  • 在美式英語中,兩者常可互換,但細微差別如上。英式英語則更常用 like cooking 來表達享受活動。
  • would like 連用時,只能用 would like to cook,表示具體的意願或禮貌請求。 EN: I really like cooking for my family; it's relaxing. 翻譯: 我真的很喜歡為家人做飯,這讓我放鬆。

EN:I like to cook a big meal every Sunday.

翻譯:我喜歡每週日做一頓豐盛的大餐。

EN:Would you like to cook dinner tonight?

翻譯:你今晚想做飯嗎?

總結建議

一般情況下兩者區別細微可互換,但表達具體意願或禮貌請求時,務必使用「would like to cook」。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Cook"?Which "Cook" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I will cook a cake.

I will bake a cake.

「cook」通常指用火或熱處理食物,但製作蛋糕、餅乾、麵包等烘焙食品時,應使用「bake」。

×My mother cooks very delicious.

My mother cooks very well. / My mother's cooking is very delicious.

「delicious」是形容詞,用來描述食物本身的味道,不能直接修飾動詞「cooks」。應改用副詞「well」修飾烹飪的技藝,或改變句子結構。

×I cooked the chicken for 30 minutes on the microwave.

I cooked the chicken in the microwave for 30 minutes.

表示使用某種器具烹飪時,介系詞應用「in」或「with」,而不是「on」。「on」通常用於爐子(stove)或烤架(grill)的表面。

×I am cooking my homework.

I am doing my homework.

「cook」的對象只能是食物或餐點。對於非食物的任務(如作業、計畫),應使用更通用的動詞如「do」、「prepare」或「work on」。

×Let's cook out this weekend. (意指「外出用餐」)

Let's eat out this weekend. / Let's have a barbecue (cookout) this weekend.

「cook out」作為名詞(cookout)指戶外燒烤聚會。表示「去餐廳吃飯」的常用片語是「eat out」或「dine out」。

×This rice cooker cooks automatically.

This rice cooker works automatically. / This rice cooker has an automatic cooking function.

雖然電器「煮飯」的功能可用「cook」,但描述其「自動運作」時,更地道的說法是「work automatically」或使用「automatic」形容其功能。直接將「cook」與「automatically」搭配較不自然。
