洗衣盆washtub[英][ˈwɒʃtʌb] [美][ˈwɑʃˌtʌb, ˈwɔʃ-] 中英文故事：外婆（9） 我们没有浴缸，我、弟弟和妈妈，经常在厨房中央的地板上放上一个大大的洗衣盆一起洗澡。那个洗衣盆至少在当时,我觉得是很大的，但是多年以后，我发现那个洗衣盆仍挂在父母家的地下室里，很难想象我们当时是怎么洗的。还记得当时没有热水，外婆就把炉子上烧开的一壶壶的水倒进 盆里，于是厨房里充满了蒸汽和肥皂的味道。她做这些事的时候总是笑着。 There was no bathtub in the apartment and my mother, my brother and I would fre¬quently take baths together in a large washtub set up in the middle of the kitchen floor. At least it seemed large to me at the time. Years later I would discover it hanging in my parents’ basement and with amazement wonder just how we managed. There was also no hot water in the apartment and I can still remember Nana at the stove boiling pots and pots of water to add to our bath. She was always laughing and smiling as she tended to…… 中英文例句 1. Let's go swim in mama's washtub. 我们在妈妈的洗衣盆里游泳吧。 2. He might have been taken for someone at a washtub, though he swayed in a languid, trancelike manner. 人家还以为他在那洗衣服呢，尽管他摇动身子，一付疲劳、昏昏欲睡的样子。 3. Those are the ones I saw my great-uncle carl grow, pouring water from a washtub into the soil around the melons and watching the stalks suck it up like a vacuum cleaner. 我看到卡尔姨丈种的正是这一品种的西瓜。他用洗衣盆把水浇到沙地上的西瓜周围，一边看着瓜秧像台吸尘器一般把水吸了进去。 |
