ESL露西的一天 第30期:吃早饭讲解(5)

 　　The toaster, "toaster," is a place where you put bread and you heat it up so that the bread becomes brown.   你可以把面包放进烤箱（toaster）然后把它加热到变成棕色。

　　We would say, "you toast the bread," using "toast" as a verb. 我们说的“你烤些面包”，这里的烤（toast）是动词。

　　So, you toast toast in a toaster. 你在烤箱里烤面包。

　　There you see the verb, the noun, and the noun, which is the machine where you make the toast. 这个句子里依次有名词、动词和另一个名词。第一个名词就是你烤面包的机器。

　　"When the eggs are nice and brown," meaning when the eggs are very brown, "on the edges,"  “鸡蛋煎好了”，“边缘变成了棕色”，意思是鸡蛋煎熟了，

　　Lucy uses "a spatula¹ to put them on a plate."  露西用“用铲子把它盛到盘子里”。

　　The edge, "edge," of something is the very end of something - the very outer part, the part that is at the very end of the object.  边缘（edge）是指某个东西的尽头，最外部的那一部分，也就是在物体最末端的那一部分。

　　So, when you take an egg and you crack it, "crack," meaning you open the egg, 所以，你拿起鸡蛋磕开，磕开（crack）意思是你打开了鸡蛋。

　　you crack the egg and you put the egg into the frying pan,  你磕开鸡蛋，把鸡蛋放进煎锅，

　　the egg will form something like a circle, and at the - around the egg are the edges. 鸡蛋就会形成一个像圆的蛋饼，鸡蛋周围就是边缘。

　　Also, I should mention that the white part of the egg - the outside of the egg is called the eggshell, "shell," the eggshell, but you don't eat the eggshells normally. 还有，我要提一下，鸡蛋白色的那部分，鸡蛋外边那一层叫作蛋壳（shell），通常没人会吃蛋壳。
