PETS－2每日對話練習220

At dinner that night
　　Dad: Howard, your mother tells me that you're staying up too late.
　　Howard: I don't think so. I get enough sleep...like six hours a night.
　　Dad: Grown-ups sleep six hours. You need at least eight or nine hours, just like your brother.
　　Howard: Like Seth? He's a little kid. He needs more sleep than me.
　　Dad: Seth could teach you a thing or two about listening to your parents.
　　Howard: Ha! That'll be the day!
　　Dad: Your bedtime is ten o'clock from now on.

　　儅天晚餐時
　　爸爸：霍華，你媽告訴我你太晚睡了。
　　霍華：我可不覺得。我睡夠了……一個晚上六個鍾頭。
　　爸爸：成年人睡六個鍾頭。你至少需要八到九個小時，跟你弟弟一樣。
　　霍華：跟賽司一樣？他是小孩子。他比我需要睡眠。
　　爸爸：賽司可以教教你要聽爸媽的話。
　　霍華：哈！你就慢慢等吧！
　　爸爸：從現在起，你的就寢時間是十點。
