He let them sit and boil, without saying a word. 不久，水开了。他往第一口锅里放一些胡萝卜，第二口锅里放入鸡蛋，第三口锅里放入碾成粉末的咖啡豆。他将它们浸入开水中煮,一句话也没说。 In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners.

Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. 20分钟后，父亲把火关了，把胡萝卜捞出来，放入一个碗内，把鸡蛋捞出来放入另一个碗内，然后把咖啡舀到一个杯子里。 Turning to her he asked, Darling, what do you see?

But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. 胡萝卜入锅前是硬的、结实的，放进开水
