结论先行
在标准英语中，既不说 “do cooking”，也不说 “make cooking”。正确的表达是直接使用动词 “cook”。
✅ I love to cook.
✅ She is cooking dinner.
❌ I do cooking every day.
❌ He makes cooking for his family.
✅ She is cooking dinner.
❌ I do cooking every day.
❌ He makes cooking for his family.
为什么不能说 “do/make cooking”？
“Cooking” 作为动名词，本身已表示“烹饪”这一活动。英语中通常直接用 “cook” 作动词，无需再加 “do” 或 “make”。
虽然 “do the cooking” 是一个固定搭配（意为“负责做饭”），但这是特例，且必须带定冠词 “the”：
✅ My dad does the cooking on weekends.
（我爸爸周末负责做饭。）
（我爸爸周末负责做饭。）
而 “make cooking” 在任何情况下都不是地道表达。
