丹尼爾今天放學回家特別早，看到媽媽正在做飯，覺得奇怪，因為平時媽媽做飯可沒有那么早。這到底是怎么回事呢？

Listen Read Learn

Daniel: Mom, I'm starving.

Shirley: Here are some biscuits. Why are you back so early today?

Daniel: My teacher had a sudden stomachache, so the class was cut shot. You?

Shirley: Me what?

Daniel: You are cooking at least two hours earlier than the usual.

Shirley: It's not for us.

Daniel: Then it's for Dad, isn't it? It's so unfair!

Shirley: Don't be a smarty-pants. It's for Grandma Wang.

Daniel: What was that again?

Shirley: It's for Grandma Wang. She is sick and her only daughter went abroad weeks ago. So she needs our help.

Daniel: I'm sorry, I didn't know that. But I wanna help.

Shirley: Umm, let me think for a moment. We can meet her together after I finish cooking.

Daniel: I'll get knee to knee with her.

Shirley: Good boy. I can only imagine how happy she will be to see you.

聽看學

丹尼爾：媽媽，我餓死了。

雪莉：這有些餅干。你今天怎么回來這么早？

丹尼爾：老師突然胃疼，所以課提前結束了。你呢？

雪莉：我什么？

丹尼爾：你做飯至少比平時早兩個小時。

雪莉：不是給我們的。

丹尼爾：你是給爸爸做的吧？不公平！

雪莉：別自作聰明了。是給王奶奶準備的。

丹尼爾：你再說一遍是什么？（我剛才沒有聽清楚）

雪莉：這是給王奶奶準備的。她病了，她女兒又在幾周前出國了，她需要我們的幫助。

丹尼爾：對不起，我不知道。我也要幫忙。

雪莉：嗯，我想一下（看你要怎么做）。等我做完飯我們可以一起去看望她。

丹尼爾：我要和她好好地坐一起（聊天）。

雪莉：好孩子。我可以想象她見到你一定特別高興。

經(jīng)典背誦 Recitation

Daniel: I am starving each time I come back home after school. My Mom would always give me some bland biscuits to deal with it. I think if it was Daddy she would probably cook for him which is really unfair. So maybe I'd better learn how to cook for myself, or get a wife.

生詞小結

starving adj. 饑餓的

biscuit n. 餅干

sudden adj. 突然的

stomachache n. 胃疼

cut short 縮短

at least 至少

abroad adv. 一起

knee n. 膝蓋

注釋

Don't be a smarty-pants

不要當一條自作聰明的褲子。意思是不要自以為是，是英文中的擬人手法。

I'll get knee to knee with her.

我要和她膝蓋對著膝蓋，意思其實是我要和她坐在一起親密無間地聊天，中文中也有相應的表示，即“促膝長談”。
