cook与cooker

 

cook是“厨师”吗?cooker是“厨师”吗?你知道cooker的用法吗?请看题:

Her father works as a ______ in a hotel and her mother a ______ in a private company.

A. cooker, typewriter                        B. cook, typist

C. cooker, typist                               D. cook, typewriter

【陷阱】误选A,许多同学想当然地认为:cook 用作动词,表示煮饭,所以 cooker 应是其相应的名词,表示煮饭的人,即厨师type 用作动词,表示打字,所以 typewriter 应表示打字员

【分析】而事实是:cook=厨师,cooker=炊具;typist=打字员,typewriter=打字机。即此题正确答案为B
