I walk into my kitchen and turn on the coffeemaker.
我走进厨房,打开咖啡机。
I always put the coffee, filter, and water in the night before so it's ready to go.
我总是在前一天晚上放好咖啡、滤纸和水,这样我随时都能用。
Next, I open the door of the cupboard where the cereal is stored.
接着,我打开放置麦片的橱柜。
I would love to have ham and eggs for breakfast every morning, or maybe a stack of waffles,
我很想每天早上都能吃火腿和鸡蛋,要么一堆华夫饼也行。
but the truth is that I just don't have the time to cook.
可事实是我并没有时间做早餐。
So, I pour myself a bowl of cereal and put in a glass of skim milk, making sure I take a spoon out of the silverware tray.
因此,我倒上一碗麦片,然后在碗里倒一杯脱脂牛奶,并从银碟里拿一根调羹。
I go outside and pick up my newspaper, and sit down at the kitchen table.
我去外面捡起报纸,然后坐在餐桌旁。
I love reading the paper in the morning, though usually I just have time to read a few of the stories.
早上我爱读报,尽管我一般只有看几个故事的时间。
When I've finished my cereal, I grab a banana and maybe make a slice of toast with jam.
吃完麦片后,我掰一根香蕉,还可能会做一片果酱吐司。
I rinse off my breakfast dishes in the sink and put them in the dishwasher.
全都吃完后,我会在水槽里冲洗吃早餐时用的餐具,然后把它们放到洗碗机里。
By that time, my coffee is ready so I pour myself a cup and put the rest in a Thermos for work.
到那时,咖啡就煮好了,我会先倒出一杯,然后把剩下的装到保温瓶里,以便上班时使用。
