Молодой человек, можно вас? Солянка у меня совсем холодная.
Excuse me, could you come over? My solyanka is stone cold.

B
Ой, извините, пожалуйста! Сейчас же унесу и подогрею.
Oh, I'm so sorry! I'll take it away and heat it up right now.

Я не придираюсь, но поскольку на улице минус десять, хочется горячего.
I'm not being picky, but since it's minus ten outside, I'd like something hot.

Вот, солянка подогрета, прямо с плиты. И десерт от заведения, в качестве извинения.
Here you are, the solyanka's been heated, straight off the stove. And a dessert on the house, by way of apology.

Спасибо, но, несмотря на любовь к сладкому, после солянки в меня не влезет.
Thank you, but much as I love sweets, after the solyanka I won't have room.
