hob
ホブ
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
hob は主にイギリス英語で、鍋を置いて加熱する調理器具の上面や加熱部を指します。典型表現 put a pan on the hob を場面ごと覚え、アメリカ英語の stovetop や burner と対応させましょう。古くは暖炉脇の鍋を温める棚・突起を指したため、現代の調理用加熱部へ意味がつながります。
Remember hob through the practical British phrase put a pan on the hob. Picture the top of a cooker, with a saucepan resting on one of its heated zones. In American English, the same area may be called a stovetop, while an individual heat source is often called a burner. The older meaning helps connect the senses: a hob was once a shelf or projection beside a fireplace where a pot could be heated or kept warm. Do not confuse this cooking word with hub, which means a center, or with hobgoblin, a word containing an older, different sense of hob.
