(shícái běnshēn bìnɡbù tèbié, dàn wǒhuì yònɡ kōnɡqìzhàɡuō qù zhìzuò.)

B: What's the difference between an air fryer and an ordinary oil fryer? 

空气炸锅和普通油炸炸锅有什么区别呢?

(kōnɡqì zhàɡuō hé pǔtōnɡ yóuzhà zháɡuō yǒu shénme qūbié ne?)

A: An air fryer is a kind of machine that uses hot air to "oil fry" food. It uses air to replace the hot oil in a frying pan and heat the food. 

空气炸锅是一种可以用空气来进行"油炸"的机器。它利用空气替代原本煎锅里的热油,让食物变熟。

(kōnɡqì zhàɡuō shì yīzhǒnɡ kěyǐ yònɡ kōnɡqì lái jìnxínɡ "yóuzhà" de jīqì.tā lìyònɡ kōnɡqì tìdài yuánběn jiānɡuō lǐde rèyóu, rànɡ shíwù biànshú.)

B: That sounds really novel. Are there any advantages?   

这听起来十分新颖,它有什么优势吗?

(zhè tīnɡqǐlái shífēn xīnyǐnɡ, tā yǒu shénme yōushì ma.)

A: The advantage of using an air fryer is that you can control the temperature and it uses less oil.

空气炸锅的优点就是温度可控和用油少。
