Victoria: Um,
I think those need to stay in the oven a while longer. Here's a professional
tip. If it's still
runny
, it's not a
cupcake. It's a beverage.
（呃，我想它们还要继续在炉子里烤一会儿。告诉你个专业贴士——如果这里面还是稀的，它就不算是纸杯蛋糕，只能算是杯饮料。）
解析：
runny:
adj.
①感冒时流鼻涕、流眼泪等：
a
runny nose, runny eyes etc. have liquid coming out of them, usually because you
have a cold
②指食物熔化或太稀：
food
that is runny is not as solid or thick as normal or as desired
例：
The butter had gone runny in the heat.
（高温下黄油都熔化了。）
a boiled egg with a runny yolk
（煮的溏心蛋）
runny custard
（熔化的奶黄酱）
补充：
形容“食物太稀”还可以用：
①
''watery''
，其意思是
''food or drink that is watery
contains too much water, so that it does not taste or look good''
（食物中含水分太多）
例：
The coffee is horrible—really weak and
watery.
（这咖啡太难喝了，味道太淡，太稀了。）
All they had to eat for weeks was bread and
watery cabbage soup.
（他们几周来只能吃面包喝稀菜汤。）
②
''thin''
例：
For these crepes you will need a fairly
thin batter, so do not add too much flour.

flat broke
