Johnny:You know-sweeping, scrubbing, washing, drying, waxing, polishing...

Steve:Wow, your grandma's really having a field day with you, huh?

Johnny:You got that right...and my mom's still mad about what we did with the dishes.

Steve:You have all the fun, don't you?

Johnny:Listen, I'd better get back to the grindstone.

Steve:Sure thing, Johnny. Watch out for dishpan hands there, kid!

grindstone (n.)

石磨，引申為「日復一日的瑣事、雜務(wù)」。get back to the grindstone就是「要回去做每日的工作了」

You have all the fun don’t you

玩得很開心吧?」在此是反諷的說法

A: Last week, my car was stolen, I got into a fight, and my boss fired me.

上星期，我的車被偷、我跟人打架，我的老板還開除我。

B: You have all the fun, don't you?

你過得還真是痛快啊，不是嗎?

dishpan hands

富貴手，因手部長期接觸清潔劑，造成龜裂、脫皮、紅腫的皮膚病

A: He put on a disgraceful performance!

他的演出很糟糕!

B: I know! His singing was terrible!

我知道。他的歌聲真是糟透了!

三天后

史帝： 最近都在忙什么啊，強尼?

強尼： 你知道的——掃地、刷洗、清洗、烘干、打蠟、磨光……

史帝： 哇，你奶奶跟你挺忙的嘛?

強尼： 你說的沒錯……而我媽還在氣我們丟掉碗盤的事。

史帝： 你還真是不亦樂乎啊，不是嗎?

強尼： 聽著，我最好回去工作了。

史帝： 沒錯，強尼。小心別得富貴手啊，小子!
