用法与细微差别
'Kettle' most often refers to an electric or stovetop device for boiling water. In British English, 'put the kettle on' means to boil water for tea; in American English, 'kettle' is less common and 'teapot' may be used for brewing tea. Do not confuse 'kettle' (for boiling water) with 'pot' (for cooking food).
