美語會(huì)話 291 回去做每日的工作
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(fù)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.

B: You have all the fun, don't you?
你過得還真是痛快啊，不是嗎?

三天后
史帝： 最近都在忙什么啊，強(qiáng)尼?
強(qiáng)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(qiáng)尼： 你說的沒錯(cuò)……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(qiáng)尼： 聽著，我最好回去工作了。
史帝： 沒錯(cuò)，強(qiáng)尼。小心別得富貴手啊，小子!
