湯たんぽに穴が 英訳比較

原文

昨夜(3月4日)いつものように夜寝る前に湯たんぽにお湯を注いでから布団に運んでいたら、カバーが濡れていました。それで、湯たんぽをよく見たら、腐食して小さな穴が空いており、そこからお湯が漏れていました。耐用年数をネットで調べたら3~5年とありました。多分10年くらいは使っていたので、長持ちしたことになります。まだ、氷点下になる日もあるので、今日にでも買いに行こうと思っています。

 

私の英訳

As I was pouring hot water in a hot water bottle before going to bed last night, I noticed that its cover cloth was wet. On a closer look, I found a few minute holes made from corrosion, which caused leaking of water. Looking up on the internet, I learned that the lifetime of this hot water bottle is three to five years. I think I 've used my hot water bottle for about ten years. Mine lasted much longer than its supposed lifetime. I'm going to buy a new one today as it is expected to get below freezing point for some days to come.
