After Getting Home
Jane:
Home at last. Tonight we have a lot of homework though.
Tom:
Are you saying we don’t have time to watch our favorite show tonight? Jane, you know I really don’t like our teacher all that much. He gives far too much homework. He criticizes me in front ofŒ everyone all the time?.
Jane:
To tell the truth?, I don’t really like him either. He’s kind of boring and not very active. He always looks unhappy too.
Tom:Yes, and he also…
Jane:
Do you think we should be talking about him like this behind his back?
Tom:
Probably not. After all? he is our teacher. We should try to find something nice to say. If you can’t say something nice you shouldn’t say anything at all.
Jane:
I absolutely agree. It’s getting dark. We should finish our homework now.
Tom: All right. I want to take a shower first, I’m exhausted.
回家后
簡:
終于到家了。不過今晚我們有一大堆作業(yè)要做。
湯姆:
你是說我們沒時間看最喜歡的電視節(jié)目了嗎?簡,你知道我真的不那么喜歡我們老師。他布置的作業(yè)太多了。而且總是在大家面前批評我。
簡:
說實話,我也不是很喜歡他。他有點兒乏味而且一點兒也不活躍,看起來總是一副不開心的樣子。
湯姆:對啊,而且他還…
簡:你覺得我們應該在背后這樣說他嗎?
湯姆:
不應該,畢竟他是我們的老師。我們應該找點好的說。如果你不能說點好的,那就別說了。
簡:
我完全贊成。天要黑了,我們還是先把功課做完吧。
湯姆:好吧。我想先沖個澡。累死了!
