mixer / 搅拌机 (jiǎobànjī)

A: I heard that you are a cake maker. I want to ask you a question, is that all right?

听说你是一个糕点师,我想向你请教一个问题,可以吗?

(tīnɡshuō nǐshì yīɡè ɡāodiǎn shī, wǒxiǎnɡ xiànɡnǐ qǐnɡjiào yīɡè wèntí, kěyǐ ma?)

B: Of course, go ahead.

当然,你说来听听吧。

(dānɡrán, nǐ shuōlái tīnɡtīnɡ bā.)

A: Do you know what the difference is between a mixer and a juicer?

你知道搅拌机和榨汁机的区别吗?

(nǐ zhīdào jiǎobànjī hé zhàzhījī de qūbié ma?)

B: Haha. Yes, I know. A mixer is usually used to mix different ingredients together or often used to make whipped cream. A juicer is most often used to get the juice from ingredients or to make a milk shake.

哈哈,我知道。搅拌机一般用来把不同的食材拌在一起,常用来打奶油。榨汁机则是多用于榨取食材的汁水,或者制作奶昔。

(hāhā, wǒ zhīdào.jiǎobànjī yībān yònɡlái bǎ bùtónɡ de shícái bànzài yīqǐ, chánɡyònɡlái dǎ nǎiyóu.zhàzhījī zéshì duōyònɡyú zhàqǔ shícái de zhīshuǐ, huòzhě zhìzuò nǎixī.)

A: I get it. I recently saw some news that the cafeterias at the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics Villages have prepared mixers and juicers for athletes to make food. I was curious, so I asked.

我明白了。最近我看到一则新闻,北京冬残奥会村的餐厅里专门为运动员准备了搅拌机和榨汁机为有需要的运动员制作食品。我很好奇,所以就问问。

(wǒ mínɡbái le.zuìjìn wǒ kàndào yīzé xīnwén, běijīnɡ dōnɡcánào huì cūn de cāntīnɡ lǐ zhuānmén wéi yùndònɡyuán zhǔnbèi le jiǎobànjī hé zhàzhī jī wéi yǒu xūyào de yùndònɡyuán zhìzuò shípǐn.wǒ hěnhǎoqí, suǒyǐ jiù wènwèn.)

B: Really? This service sounds very thoughtful.

是吗?听起来这样的服务真是很贴心。
