Mom: That’s OK, Ben, just let it go. I thought you were just a little too much into it.
Dad: I wasn’t kidding before, OK, I’m fine now.
Mom: Honey, have you ever heard that there are a lot of stray cats now.
Dad: Yes.
Mom: Now they are collected by some volunteers, and people can adopt them or make a donation for the shelters.
Dad: What are you saying? You are acting weird today.
Mom: I want to adopt a cat, and it can be Barbie’s boyfriend too.
Dad: Haha, very funny, but it doesn’t make any sense to me.
Mom: That’s all right. At least I got myself left.
Dad: Seriously, if we will adopt any animals, we’d gotta to talk to Daniel.
Mom: I hope that he would grant me with that.
Dad: Hope so.

媽媽：好了，本，都過去了。我還以為你只是有點奇怪。
爸爸：我剛才可沒有開玩笑，不過我現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)好了。

媽媽：我想領(lǐng)養(yǎng)一只小貓，然后他也可以成為芭比的男朋友。
爸爸：哈哈，太有趣了。但是對于我來說卻沒有任何意義。
媽媽：好的，至少我堅持我自己的意見。
爸爸：說真的，如果我們要領(lǐng)養(yǎng)任何動物的話，我們得先和丹尼爾談?wù)劇?/p>
媽媽：我希望他會答應(yīng)。
爸爸：希望吧。
經(jīng)典背誦 Recitation
Dad: Shirley says that there are a lot of stray cats in the street, and she wants to adopt one, thinking it may be our dog Barbie’s boyfriend. It’s kind of her to think of that, but it’s surely weird to make a cat be a dog’s boyfriend. Honestly speaking, our son Daniel would just get mad if he hears about his mother’s idea.
