    示範例句 · Example

    Mei learned a lot of culinary skills in her after-school cooking club.

    逐字美在她的課後烹飪社團裡學到很多烹飪技巧。

    「culinary」是正式的「跟煮飯／做菜有關」形容詞，幾乎只放在名詞前面：culinary skills（廚藝）、culinary herbs（烹飪用香草）、culinary delights（美味佳餚）。核心畫面可以想成「廚房裡、為了做菜」那一層。平常聊天多半說 cooking（cooking class、cooking oil）；要寫得更正式、或談「廚藝／美食文化」時，才常用 culinary。跟 cooking 容易搞混——cooking 是日常說法，culinary 語氣更正式，而且通常不說 The food is culinary。

core核心畫面

Picture the kitchen itself — the pots, the heat, the chopping, the person working at the stove. 'Culinary' points at that whole room and everything done in it. It is the formal, slightly dressed-up adjective English reaches for when talking about cooking as a craft.

可以想成整間廚房：鍋子、爐火、刀工，還有站在爐前忙的人。culinary 指的就是這個空間，以及在裡面發生的一切。它是個比較正式、帶點講究味道的形容詞，英文要把做菜當成一門手藝來談的時候就會用它。

From the word’s history

Etymonline traces culinary to Latin culinarius 'of the kitchen', from culina 'kitchen, cooking stove, food' — a word connected to Latin coquere 'to cook', the same root behind English cook. It entered English in the 1630s meaning 'of the kitchen', and by the 1650s covered the art of cookery.

根據 Etymonline，culinary 來自拉丁文 culinarius（廚房的），源頭是 culina（廚房、爐灶、食物）；culina 又連著拉丁文 coquere（烹煮），英文的 cook 也是從這條線下來的。這說明了為什麼它的重心是「廚房與做菜這件事」，而不只是「食物」——1630 年代進入英文時就是「廚房的」，1650 年代才擴大到烹飪這門手藝。
