妈妈和爸爸在客厅里说话

Mommy

Can you hear something?

Daddy

No, I can’t. What is it? What can you hear?

Mommy

Just listen! I think I can hear someone singing.

Daddy

I don’t think so. Both the children are sleeping now, aren’t they?

Mommy

I hope so. They both have a busy day tomorrow. I don’t want them to be tired when they go to school.

Daddy

Did you see Lee before he went to bed? Did he brush his teeth?

Mommy

Yes, he did. I never let the children go to bed until they brush their teeth.

Daddy

Good. Will you be busy tomorrow, too? What are you going to do tomorrow?

Mommy

I’m going shopping. I’m going to look for a nice birthday present for Pat.

Daddy

Oh that’s right, isn’t it? It’s Pat’s birthday on Wednesday.

Mommy

Yes, and we’re going to have a big party for her.

Daddy

Oh, I’m pleased to hear that. Will there be a birthday cake?

Mommy

Yes, there will. I’ll make her a big birthday cake tomorrow.

Daddy

Well, don’t let the children eat too much cake – they’ll get fat. Just give them a little cake.

Mommy

They’ll just have one plate of birthday cake. That won’t make them fat.

Daddy

Yes, just give them a little. You can give the children a little, but you can give me a lot – I’m fat already.

Mommy

No, you’re not. You’re not fat. Stop saying that! Would you like soething to drink before we go to bed? How about a cup of coffee?

Daddy

Oh, no coffee, thanks. Coffee stops me sleeping.

Mommy

All right, I’ll get you a cup of hot milk.

Daddy

Thanks. That would be nice. Oh, now I can hear something. You were right – someone is singing. I can hear singing coming from Lee’s bedroom.

妈妈

你有听到什么吗？

爸爸

没有啊。那是什么？你听到什么了？

妈妈

听！我觉得我听到了歌声。

爸爸

我不觉得。孩子们都睡觉了，不是吗？

妈妈

希望是吧。他们俩明天都会很忙。我不想他们去学校的时候觉得很累。

爸爸

李上床之前你看到他了吗？他有没有刷牙？

妈妈

他刷了。孩子们不刷牙的话我不会让他们去睡的。

爸爸

好。你明天也会很忙吗？你明天要做些什么？

妈妈

我要去买东西。我打算给佩特买一个漂亮的生日礼物。

爸爸

噢，太好了，对吧？星期三是佩特的生日。

妈妈

是的，我们准备给她办一个大派对。

爸爸

噢，很高兴知道这个消息。那会有生日蛋糕吗？

妈妈

是的，会有。我明天给她做一个大生日蛋糕。

爸爸

好吧，不要让孩子们吃太多蛋糕了——他们会长胖的。给他们吃一点就好。

妈妈

他们只会吃一盘。那不会让他们变胖的。

爸爸

好，就只给他们一点。你少给孩子们一点，但是你可以多给我一些——我已经长胖了。

妈妈

不，你不是的。你不胖。不要再那么说了！睡觉前你想喝点什么吗？来杯咖啡怎么样？

爸爸

噢，咖啡就算了，谢谢。我喝了咖啡睡不着。

好吧，那我给你倒一杯热牛奶。
