Today I'd like to give you a mini tour around the kitchen, and I'm curious, what's different from your country?

We all probably have a place to cook, but I'm sure that it looks different all around the world.
我们每个人可能都有一个用来做饭的地方，但我敢肯定，这些地方的布局在世界各地都是不同的。
So let's get started by taking a look at the place where we keep our food, the fridge.
那么，让我们先从我们存放食物的地方——冰箱开始说起吧。
Fridges in the US have a stereotype of being huge, and it's true.
在美国，冰箱普遍被认为体积庞大，这一印象确实没错。
This is our fridge.
这是我们的冰箱。
It is very big, and it's great for keeping lots of food.
它的体积非常大，非常适合用来储存大量的食物。
Because I have kids, the fridge is covered in memorabilia, things from our children, pictures.
因为我有孩子，所以冰箱上到处都是纪念品——都是我们孩子留下的东西，还有照片。
Underneath the fridge is the freezer, which you can't really see, but it is also very big.
冰箱的下方是冷冻室，虽然你看不到它，但它也非常大。
It's great for keeping lots of things.
它非常适合用来存放大量的物品。
Every two weeks or every three weeks, I buy a lot of food.
每隔两周或每隔三周，我就会购买大量食物。
So I guess this is different depending on the size of your fridge.
我想，这可能会因为冰箱的大小而有所不同。
Beside the fridge is the oven or the stove.
冰箱旁边通常放着烤箱或炉灶。
So here's the stove top and underneath
以下是炉灶的正面以及其底部结构。
here is the oven, but it's pretty
这是烤箱，不过它的外观相当不错（或：设计得很漂亮）。
typical in the US to have either

an electric stove top like I have or a gas stove top that has a little flame and it cooks.
可以选用像我这样的电炉灶，也可以选择那种带有小火焰的燃气炉灶——这两种炉灶都能用来烹饪食物。
This is what I have there's knobs for turning it on.
这就是我手头的那个设备；它上面有用于调节开关状态的旋钮。
And over here are some other little appliances, like our toaster.
这边还有一些其他的小电器，比如我们的烤面包机。
We have a four-slice toaster.
我们有一个可以烤四片面包的烤面包机。
There are four people in our family, so this is very convenient.
我们家里有四口人，因此这个功能非常实用（或者说非常方便）。
