　　To lather², "lather," up (two words) means to put liquid on your body - soap or shampoo or what we would call shaving cream and move it back and forth³ - mix it with water until you have bubbles that cover your skin - this is to lather up - or covers your hair, to lather up with shampoo on your hair.  打肥皂（lather up）就是把液体涂在身上，然后涂抹均匀，兑水，涂到泡泡盖住皮肤为止，这叫做打肥皂。这种液体可能是肥皂或者洗发水，也可能是剃须膏。揉起泡泡包住了头发，意思就是给头发打上洗发水。

　　Lucy lathers up and gives her "legs a quick shave."  露西飞快地涂上肥皂“刮腿毛”。

　　Shave, "shave," can be a noun and a verb. To shave means to remove hair from your body - from your skin. 剃须（shave）既是动词也是名词。动词“剃须”的意思是除去皮肤上的毛发。

　　Lucy says she gives her "legs a quick shave." Women in the United States usually shave their legs - they get the hair off of their legs. 露西“刮腿毛”很快。美国女性通常都会刮腿毛，也就是除去腿上的毛发。

　　They'll also shave under their arms, what we would call their armpit, "armpit." Your armpit is that space underneath⁴ your arm that connects your arm to the rest of your body. 她们也经常刮胳膊下的毛，也就是我们说的腋窝（armpit）。腋窝是指胳膊下边的小空间，连接胳膊和身体。

　　Men do not shave their legs; they do sometimes shave their face, or like me, shave their head. 男性不爱刮腿毛，他们有时候会刮脸，或者剃头，比如我。
