五郎(ごろう)、坩堝(るつぼ)の温度(おんど)計(けい)の目盛(めも)りをしっかり見張(みは)れよ。鉛(なまり)合金(ごうきん)の溶解(ようかい)が進(すす)むにしたがって、微小(びしょう)な温度(おんど)変化(へんか)が鋳型(いがた)の仕上(しあ)がりに響(ひび)くんだ。

Goro, watch the scale on the crucible thermometer closely. As the melting of lead alloy progresses, tiny temperature shifts impact the finish of casting molds. (N3 lesson 9)
