下班回家,你准备给宝宝冲奶粉。先烧开水,等水温降到合适温度,结果发现奶粉罐快空了,只剩下一点点,不够冲一瓶奶。

I got home from work and was about to prepare formula milk for my baby. I boiled the water first, then when it cooled down to a proper temperature, I found the formula jar was almost empty. The left milk power was not enough for making a bottle of milk.
