 　　A burner, "burner," is where the fire or the heat comes on a stove.    火和热都是经过燃烧器（burner）从炉子里出来的。

　　The stove, or stovetop, is the part of the machine in your kitchen where you can cook food. 炉子，或者说灶台，属于厨房机器，你可以在厨房里做饭。

　　In our house, for example, you can turn on the burner and fire - flames we would say - start to come out. 比如，在我们家，打开燃烧器，火（火焰）就出来了。

　　And then, you put the pan¹ on top of the fire - on top of the flames,  然后你可以把平底锅放在火上，火焰的上方，

　　and you put the meat and the oil and the vegetables, or whatever you are cooking, in the frying pan. 再把肉、油、蔬菜或者其他东西放到煎锅里。

　　To fry, "fry," is a way to cook food by putting it over heat in a pan. 煎（fry）指把食物放在平底锅里加热，是一种烹饪方式。

　　In addition to putting the frying pan on the burner, which is part of the stovetop, Lucy pours "a little oil in" the pan.  把煎锅放在燃烧器（灶台的一部分）上之后，露西往平底锅里倒了“一点油”。

　　Oil, "oil," is a liquid fat that you put in a pan to help the food cook better. 油（oil）是液态的脂肪，你可以倒在锅里，做出来的食物会更好吃。

　　Lucy says that when "the eggs are cooking," she puts  "two pieces of bread into the toaster." 露西说“鸡蛋在锅里煎着”的时候，她“又往烤箱里放了两片面包”。
