吃火锅要围裙怎么说？
完整台词
Lin
Hey, could I grab an apron? I somehow always splash broth on myself.嘿，我能拿条围裙吗？我吃火锅老把汤溅到身上。
对方
Absolutely. Hot pot has a weird way of turning dinner into a contact sport.当然。火锅总有种神奇能力，能把吃饭变成对抗赛。
Lin
Also, how long should I swish the beef? I don't want to overdo it.还有，牛肉我要涮多久？我不想煮过头。
对方
Just a few seconds; pull it out once it changes color and looks tender.就几秒钟；一变色、看着嫩了就捞出来。
Lin
And the noodles need longer, right? They usually end up my first casualty.那面条要更久，对吧？它们通常最先遭殃。
对方
Yeah, about two minutes. Any longer, and they clump into mushy glue.对，大概两分钟。再久一点，它们就会黏成一团烂糊。
Lin
Okay, if mine vanish again, please pretend they made a heroic escape.行，要是我的又消失了，就当它们英勇出逃吧。
对方
Deal—but if they resurface as glue, I'm calling it your signature dish.成交——但要是最后变成一团胶，我就叫它你的招牌菜。
