Conversation对话:
Bedtime
Mother:It’s time for bed.
Frank:
But I’m not sleepy, mom. Can I stay up and watch more TV?
Mother:
It’s already past 11. You have school tomorrow. You’ll be sleepy all day tomorrow if you don’t sleep well tonight.
Frank:
I know, but I promise I won’t be sleepy tomorrow. I work really hard.
Mother:
Don’t you have exams coming up soon? I’m sure you could spend more time preparing for those.
Frank:Oh, I nearly forgot the exams.
Mother:
You do well in the math, but your history is not good enough. Am I right?
Frank:
Yeah, I guess so. Maybe I could go to sleep now and get up early to review the lessons tomorrow.
Mother:
An excellent idea. Work now and play later.
Frank:
I know you’re right. School is more important than TV, but can I watch one more show then go to bed?
Mother:No, now is bedtime.
睡觉时间
母亲:该睡觉了。
弗兰克:
妈妈,但是我一点儿都不困。我能再看会儿电视吗?
母亲:
已经是十一点多了。你明天还要上学。 如果你今晚上不休息好的话,明天一天你都会犯困的。
弗兰克:
我知道,但是我保证明天不犯困。我学习很努力的。
母亲:
你不是快考试了吗?我肯定你可以多花点时间准备的。
弗兰克:哦,我差点忘了,还有考试呢。
母亲:你数学很好,但是历史不是很好,对吧?
弗兰克:
是的,是这样的。或许我应该现在就睡觉,明天早点起来复习功课。
母亲:好主意,先学习后玩儿。
弗兰克:
我知道您说得对。学习要比电视更重要,不过我能再看一个节目再去睡觉吗?
母亲:不行,现在就睡觉。
