生活英語口語:這個丈母娘真是麻煩!
D: your daughter will be back soon. I'm going to start making dinner. You can just watch some TV in TV room if you like. We just bought a new TV with a LCD screen. The remote control is on the coffee table next to the armchair.
L: would you mind if I helped out in the kitchen instead? I do enjoy cooking.
D: this is supposed to be your vacation; we'd like you to just relax.
L: cooking makes me feel relaxed. So, what are we cooking?
D: ok, well, we're going to make a pan of lasagne, a salad, and some garlic bread. Here's the recipe. Do you want to get the ingredients we need out of the cupboard?
L: sure. We should probably pre-heat the oven right away, too.
D: that's a good idea. Can you set the oven to 200 degrees Celsius?
L: that's a bit high for lasagne. I'll just set it at 180 degree and we can take it from there.
D: fine. I'll just get out the casserole dish, the saucepan, the salad bowl, and the baking sheet.
L: you know, I could do this myself. Why don't you go get the screwdriver and the pliers and go fix the vacuum cleaner so it works better?
D: I don't think it's broken.
L: well, if it's not broken, then you need to learn how to vacuum better, because it doesn't look like you've vacuumed for ages!
D: fine. I'll go vacuum. Let me know if you need any other help.
你女兒快回來了。我該準(zhǔn)備晚飯去了。如果想看電視的話，你可以去電視機(jī)房看。我們剛剛買了臺新電視，是液晶屏的。遙控機(jī)就在扶手椅旁邊的咖啡桌上。
你介不介意我去廚房幫忙?我很喜歡做飯.
你是來度假的，我們希望你能好好休息。
做飯對于我來說就是休息。那么，咱們晚飯做什么?
好吧,嗯,我們打算做一鍋意大利寬面,一份沙拉還有些大蒜面包。這兒有菜譜。你能把咱們需要的配料從柜櫥里拿出來嗎?
沒問題。我們應(yīng)該現(xiàn)在就把烤箱預(yù)熱上。
好主意。你可以把烤箱調(diào)到200攝氏度.
做意大利寬面這溫度有點高了。我想調(diào)到180度，這樣我們才好把它從里面拿出來。
好的。我要拿一下烤盤，平底鍋，沙拉碗和烤箱墊。
你知道的，這些我可以自己來。你為什么不去找把螺絲刀和鉗子把吸塵器修修呢。
我覺得它沒壞呢。
嗯，如果沒壞的話，你可是得學(xué)學(xué)怎么能充分發(fā)揮吸塵器的用途了。因為看起來你們家已經(jīng)好久沒有吸過塵了。
好吧。我去弄吸塵器。如果你需要幫忙就叫我。
