ESL Podcast 645 – Shaving Your Face
时间：2019-02-07 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
I forgot to set my alarm last night and I woke up later than usual. I was tempted 1 to skip my morning shave, but I hate having long stubble all day. I like to be clean-shaven every day. I’m the kind of guy who gets a five-o’clock shadow early in the afternoon, so if I skipped my morning shave, I’d look like I was growing a beard by the end of the day.
I went into the bathroom and picked up my shaving cream. I lathered 2 up my face and checked to see that my razor was sharp and that I didn’t need to replace the razor blades. There’s nothing worse than trying to shave with a dull razor. I tried using an electric razor for a while, but I could never get a close enough shave.
I tried to focus on shaving my neck, chin, and cheeks. I was in too much of a hurry, though, and nicked myself on the neck. I hate it when that happens! I knew I was in too much of a hurry, but I was going to be really late. Oh, I did it again! This time I nicked myself on the chin. “Okay,” I said to myself, “slow down. You’d rather be a little late to work than to end up with a face full of potholes 3, right?”
Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
- I was sorely tempted to complain, but I didn't. 我极想发牢骚，但还是没开口。
- I was tempted by the dessert menu. 甜食菜单馋得我垂涎欲滴。
- I lathered my face and started to shave. 我往脸上涂了皂沫，然后开始刮胡子。
- He's all lathered up about something. 他为某事而兴奋得不得了。 来自辞典例句
