美语会话实录第177期(MP3+文本):Soak a little longer

英文原文:

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?

参考译文:

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
