We use the word 'soak' to describe lying in a bath full or warm water. It also invokes images and feelings of being relaxed and happy, and staying in the bath for a long time. A quick and fast bath could not be described as a soak. A soak, or a 'soak in the bath', is often enjoyed with a few candles lit in the bathroom, and some scented, sweet smelling bath salts or bubble liquid added to help you relax and enjoy it even more!
"soak"という単語はお風呂にゆっくり浸かる時に使います。この単語はゆっくりお風呂に浸かって、リラックスし、ハッピーなイメージや感情も連想させます。短時間のお風呂は"soak"とは表現されません。
"soak"または"soak in the bath"(お風呂に浸かること)はバスルームにキャンドルを灯して、甘い香りのするバスソルトや泡の液体を加えて、よりリラックスし、お風呂を楽しむこともできます!
When you are someone who likes to relax in the bathtub, then you can use the expressing 'long baths'. This can mean that you are actively bathing in the tub, or maybe just relaxing in there after a long day.
