中文原文
你下班到家,发现宝宝睡着了。你轻手轻脚把包放下,打算先快速把晚饭简单收拾一下,结果厨房水槽里堆着昨天没洗的碗。你不想弄出响声吵醒宝宝,只能慢慢清洗。
My translation
When I got home from work, my baby had fallen asleep. I put down my bag quitely, then decided to make a simple dinner. I found water sink was full of unwashed bowls from yesterday. I didn’t want to make any noise to wake up the baby, so I had to clean slowly.
Revised version
When I got home from work, my baby was already asleep. I set my bag down quietly and decided to whip up a simple dinner. I saw the sink was piled up with dirty bowls from the night before. I didn’t want to make any noise and wake the baby, so I washed them carefully and quietly.
