皿洗いをする

설거지를 하다

We 'do the dishes' (or 'do the washing up' in British English) because it is a household task. 'Do' is always used with specific cleaning chores. Never 'make the dishes' (that would mean manufacturing plates!).

我们说'do the dishes'（或英式英语中说'do the washing up'）因为这是一个家务任务。'Do'总是与特定的清洁家务搭配。不能说'make the dishes'（那意味着制造盘子！）。

Decimos 'do the dishes' (o 'do the washing up' en inglés británico) porque es una tarea doméstica. 'Do' se usa siempre con tareas de limpieza específicas. Nunca 'make the dishes' (eso significaría fabricar platos).

「do the dishes」（またはイギリス英語で「do the washing up」）と言います。家事のタスクだからです。「do」は特定の掃除の家事に常に使います。「make the dishes」とは言いません（それはお皿を製造するという意味になります！）。

'do the dishes'(또는 영국식으로 'do the washing up')라고 하는 이유는 이것이 가사 작업이기 때문입니다. 'do'는 항상 특정 청소 작업에 사용됩니다. 'make the dishes'라고 하면 안 됩니다(그렇게 하면 접시를 '제조한다'는 뜻이 됩니다!).
