12. Pumping up a Balloon 给气球打气
Oh, no, your balloon is flat. Let me inflate it with the pump.
哦,你的气球瘪了。我给它打点气。
Your balloon is flat指气球完全瘪了,如果是比较瘪,可以说your balloon is deflated。
关于打气,还有以下说法: (1) Let me pump up your balloon, (2) Let me fill up your balloon, (3) Let me put more air into your balloon.
那么,是否所有的东西瘪了,都可以翻译成flat和deflated呢?自行车和汽车的车胎(tires)、各种球类(balls),以及充气玩具(floaty toys)都适用,因为它们里面都充满了气体。
但是,罐头瘪了不能用flat或者deflated,正确的说法是dented。
The can is dented. I think it has expired and let's just throw it away.
这个罐头瘪了。我估计过期了,咱们还是把它扔了吧。
