I just scooped up a little rice and ate even less at every meal. My mother would order me to swallow down more after I finished eating and droping my chopsticks despite that I was full.

每次，我只盛了一点点的饭，吃的很少，就放下手中的筷子，妈妈知道我又吃不下去了，便叫我咽下去。

For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

你们犹大人在我圣山怎样喝了苦杯，万国也必照样常常地喝。且喝且咽，他们就归于无有。

You swallow it down?

你就把它咽下去了？

If you are chewing the food, then talk after you swallow it down.

如果你正在咀嚼食物，那么就等咽下食物后再开口说话。

The food was washed down, as ever, with wine that felt so sublime on the tongue it seemed a crime to swallow it.

佳肴总是伴有美酒，那酒停留在你的舌尖上，口感是如此纯正，你会感到把它咽下去是一种罪过。
