家裡的囤貨還夠嗎?
宅在家裡快一個月了
你家囤的貨還夠你吃多久?
你有多久沒有出門大采購了?
今天我們就來學習一下“囤貨”用英文怎麼說?
stock up
/stɒk/
stock up表示to buy a large quantity of something 大量購買;囤積
比如說，
During the emergency, people stocked up on essential items.
在非常時期，人們囤積了各種基本用品。
如果你想說明你具體囤了什麼東西，
就要在stock up後加on再加你囤的哪個東西，
也就是
stock up on sth
表示你買了很多這個東西
例：
I'm planning to stock up on water and food.
我正打算囤水和吃的。
雖然家裡囤了很多食物，
但是如果這些食材沒有得到正確的儲存，
反而會讓它們發黴腐爛，
豈不是得不償失?
01
Don't separate bananas before eating
在吃之前，不要把香蕉掰開
You may think you're being super productive packaging your 'nanas into day-to-day portions, but actually the trick to stop them going brown is to keep them together as long as possible. Wrap the stems of the bananas in clingfilm when you first buy them, and only snap one off when you're ready to eat it. This should give you 3-5 extra days of perfectly ripe banana joy.
你可能認為把香蕉分成一天一天份的儲存方式很高效，但實際上防止它們變黃的竅門是儘可能長時間地把它們放在一起。香蕉剛買回來的時候，把香蕉莖用保鮮膜包起來，準備吃的時候再把它掰下來。這會讓你額外擁有3-5天品嚐成熟香蕉的快樂。
02
Put an apple in your bag of potatoes
放個蘋果在土豆堆裡
Sprouted potatoes are at the top of nobody's to-eat list. It turns out the best way to prevent them turning into a reject from the cast list of Alien is to keep an apple in the bag apples produce ethylene gas, which keeps potatoes fresher and firmer, and ready for jacket-and-mash duties for a few more weeks.
發芽的土豆是肯定不能吃的。事實證明，防止它們變異的最好方法是在袋子裡放一個蘋果，蘋果會產生乙烯氣體，讓土豆更新鮮、更結實，還能讓土豆多儲存幾周。
03
But keep apples away from other fruits and veggies
但是讓蘋果離其它蔬菜水果遠一點
Ethylene gas may be good for potatoes, but it's bad for almost everything else. Keep apples out of the fruit bowl (and in a plastic bag in the fridge) and you should suddenly find that your other purchases keep much better.
乙烯氣體可能對土豆有好處，但對其他幾乎所有東西都有害。把蘋果放在水果盤外面(放在冰箱的塑料袋裡)，你會突然發現你買的其他東西保存得更好。
04
DON'T refrigerate your tomatoes
不要把西紅柿放冰箱
Seriously. You'll kill their flavour, and their juicy texture doesn't survive so well in the cold either. To make the most of your tomatoes, keep them on a counter to allow them to ripen them to their full potential. FYI, other veggies that shouldn't live in the fridge include potatoes and onions, although they should be stored in a cool dark place rather than within the sun's reach.
說真的，這樣會破壞它們的味道，而且它們多汁的口感在寒冷的環境下也很難保存。為了充分利用你的番茄，把它們放在桌子上，讓它們充分成熟。另外，其他不應該放在冰箱裡的蔬菜還有土豆和洋蔥，儘管它們應該儲存在陰涼的地方而不是在陽光夠得著的地方。
05
Keep mushrooms in a paper bag
把蘑菇放在紙袋裡
Proper greengrocers use these bad boys for a reason paper bags keep mushrooms much more efficiently than the usual plastic tubs. Moisture is a slime sentence for mushrooms, so storing them this way keeps them clean and dry (and if you leave them too long and find they get too dry, you can give them a quick rinse in the sink and they'll plump right back up).
正規的蔬菜水果商使用紙袋子是有原因的，紙袋比一般的塑料更能有效地保存蘑菇。對於蘑菇來說，水分是一個黏液，所以用紙袋儲存它們可以保持它們的清潔和乾燥(如果你讓它們放置太久，發現它們變得太乾了，你可以在水槽裡快速沖洗一下，它們就會立刻變胖)。
