Now, it is nearly eight o’clock. It is nearly time for the children to go to bed. It is nearly Lee and Pat’s bedtime. Pat is very tired, and she wants to go to bed soon. Mommy gave Pat a cup of milk, and she is drinking it now. When she finishes her milk, she will go to the bathroom to brush her teeth. After she brushes her teeth, she will go to bed.

現在，快要8點了。孩子們差不多該睡覺了。快到李和佩特的睡覺時間了。佩特很累，她想快點去睡覺。媽媽給了佩特一杯牛奶，她正在喝呢。她喝完牛奶的時候就會去浴室刷牙。刷完牙后，她就會上床睡覺了。

李不想上床睡覺。他想先看完電視。現在，電視里有個女的在唱另一首歌。李知道這首歌，他也正在唱這首歌。他輕輕地唱著，這樣媽媽和爸爸才不會聽到。

Mommy asks Daddy to speak to Lee, and Daddy tells Lee to drink his milk quickly. When he finishes his milk, Daddy tells him to go and brush his teeth. Lee gets up and goes to the bathroom. When he comes back, Daddy tells him to go to bed.

媽媽讓爸爸去給李說，爸爸告訴李快點喝牛奶。當他喝完牛奶的時候，爸爸告訴他去刷牙。李站起來去了浴室。當他回來的時候，爸爸又告訴他該睡覺了。

Now, the children are in bed. Pat was very tired today, so she is sleeping already. Pat was very tired because she had a very busy day today. At school, she had a lot of work to do. Then, at home, she had a lot of homework to do, and she also went to help Mommy in the kitchen.

Mommy and Daddy are speaking in the living room.

媽媽和爸爸在客廳里說話

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.

媽媽

你有聽到什么嗎？

爸爸

沒有啊。那是什么？你聽到什么了？

媽媽

聽！我覺得我聽到了歌聲。

爸爸

我不覺得。孩子們都睡覺了，不是嗎？

媽媽

希望是吧。他們倆明天都會很忙。我不想他們去學校的時候覺得很累。

爸爸

李上床之前你看到他了嗎？他有沒有刷牙？

媽媽

他刷了。孩子們不刷牙的話我不會讓他們去睡的。

爸爸

好。你明天也會很忙嗎？你明天要做些什么？

媽媽

我要去買東西。我打算給佩特買一個漂亮的生日禮物。

爸爸

噢，太好了，對吧？星期三是佩特的生日。

媽媽

是的，我們準備給她辦一個大派對。

爸爸

噢，很高興知道這個消息。那會有生日蛋糕嗎？

媽媽

是的，會有。我明天給她做一個大生日蛋糕。

爸爸

好吧，不要讓孩子們吃太多蛋糕了——他們會長胖的。給他們吃一點就好。

媽媽

他們只會吃一盤。那不會讓他們變胖的。

爸爸

好，就只給他們一點。你少給孩子們一點，但是你可以多給我一些——我已經長胖了。

媽媽

不，你不是的。你不胖。不要再那么說了！睡覺前你想喝點什么嗎？來杯咖啡怎么樣？

爸爸

噢，咖啡就算了，謝謝。我喝了咖啡睡不著。

媽媽

好吧，那我給你倒一杯熱牛奶。

爸爸

謝謝。那太好了。噢，現在我能聽到什么聲音了。你是對的——有人在唱歌。我聽到歌聲是從李的臥室傳出來的。
