A: Your daughter will be back soon. I'm going to start making dinner. You can just watch some TV in TV room if you like. We just bought a new TV with an LCD screen. The remote control is on the coffee table next to the armchair.
你女儿快回来了，我该准备晚饭了，如果想看电视的话，你可以去电视机房看，我们刚刚买了台新电视，是液晶屏的遥控器，就在扶手椅旁边的咖啡桌上。


B: Would you mind if I helped out in the kitchen instead? I do enjoy cooking.
你介不介意我去厨房帮忙，我很喜欢做饭。

A: This is supposed to be your vacation. We'd like you to just relax.
你是来渡度假，我们希望你能好好休息。

B: Cooking makes me feel relaxed. So what are we cooking?
做饭对我来说就是休息，那么咱们晚饭做什么？

A: Okay, well, we're going to make a pan of lasagna, a salad and some garlic bread. Here's the recipe. Do you want to get the ingredients we need out of the cupboard?
好吧，我们打算做一锅意大利宽面，一份沙拉，还有一些大蒜面包，这儿有菜谱，你能把咱们需要用的配料从柜橱里拿出来吗？

B: Sure. We should probably pre-heat the oven right away too.
没问题，我们应该现在就把烤箱预热上。

A: That's a good idea. Can you set the oven to 200 degrees Celsius?
好主意，你可以把烤箱调到200摄氏度吗？

B: That's a bit high for lasagna. I'll just set it at 180 degree and we can take it from there.
做意大利宽面，这温度有点高了。我想调到180度，这样我们才能把它从里面拿出来。

A: Fine. I'll just get out the casserole dish, the saucepan, the salad bowl, and the baking sheet.
好的，我要拿一下烤盘，平底锅，沙拉碗和烤箱垫。

B: You know, I could do this myself. Why don't you go get the screwdriver and the pliers and go fix the vacuum cleaner so it works better?
你知道的，这些我可以自己来，你为什么不去找把螺丝刀和钳子把吸尘器修修呢？

A: I don't think it's broken.
我觉得他没坏啊。

B: Well, if it's not broken, then you need to learn how to vacuum better because it doesn't look like you've vacuumed for ages.
如果他没坏的话，你可是得好好学学，怎么能充分发挥吸尘器的用途了。因为看起来你们家已经好久没有吸过尘了。


A: Fine. I'll go vacuum. Let me know if you need any other help.
好吧，我去弄吸尘器，如果你需要帮忙就叫我。
