  她开始搅打奶油，直到它变得轻盈蓬松。

• whisk 本词

  Emphasizes the quick, light beating motion itself, often naming the act of using a whisk tool; commonly used for eggs and doesn't necessarily imply reaching a stiff texture.

  更强调快速、轻快的搅动动作本身，常指使用打蛋器这个动作；常用于打鸡蛋，不一定要打到硬挺的程度。

  She used a whisk to beat the eggs until fluffy.

  她用打蛋器搅打鸡蛋，直到打发蓬松。

Both mean to beat food quickly to make it fluffy. Whip emphasizes beating until stiff and firm, often for cream or egg whites. Whisk emphasizes the quick beating motion itself, often naming the whisk tool, and does not always mean reaching a stiff texture.

两个词都指用快速搅动的方式把食材打发，但 whip 更强调打到硬挺、定型的状态，常用于奶油、蛋白等；whisk 更强调动作本身（快速搅拌），也常指用打蛋器这个动作，不一定打到很硬的程度。
