(单词翻译)

   Jolene: I’m sweating like a pig. When is this heat wave going to end?

 
  Eric: I’ve no idea, but I’m not moving a muscle until it does. Hand me that pitcher1 of iced tea, would you?
 
  Jolene: Get it yourself. I’m not moving until it drops below 80 degrees.
 
  Eric: It’s not the temperature. It’s the humidity. It’s not even the dog days of summer yet and it’s scorching2 outside.
 
  Jolene: It’s scorching inside, too. Why can’t that fan move any faster? Remind me why we moved into an apartment with no air conditioner?
 
  Eric: We couldn’t afford an apartment with an air conditioner. We were lucky to get this place.
 
  Jolene: I don’t feel so lucky right now. My legs are stuck to this chair and I’ve sweated through my clothes.
 
  Eric: We could buy a portable air conditioner.
 
  Jolene: We can?
 
  Eric: Yeah, but you’d have to get up.
 
  Jolene: Ugh, let’s do it tomorrow.
