Eztalk美语【184】soak a little longer 多泡一下

Lily is getting into the bathtub

Lily:Ouch! The water's too hot!

Mom:Get in slowly, sweetie. You'll get used to it. I'm gonna go and make you some chicken soup.

Lily:I'm not hungry, Mom.

Mom:I know you don't have an appetite, but you need to eat something. You'll get too weak if you don't eat.

Lily:[A few minutes later] Ohh...I'm sweating already. It's so hot. I can feel it boiling! Can I get out yet?

Mom:That's a good sign. But just soak a little longer, OK?

莉莉进入浴缸

莉莉：哎唷!水太烫了啦!

妈妈：亲爱的，慢慢泡进去。你会习惯这个温度的。我去帮你煮些鸡汤。

莉莉：妈，我不饿。

妈妈：我知道你没胃口，但你需要吃点东西。不吃东西会没有体力。

莉莉：(几分钟之后)喔……我已经流汗了。水好烫。我觉得水在沸腾!我可以出来了没?

妈妈：这是个不错的征兆。但再多泡一下，好吗?
