PETS-2每日對話練習217
Howard: I will go to bed earlier tomorrow night. I promise! There's nothing good on TV tomorrow.
Dad: You're missing the point, Howard.
Howard: Yes, “Go to bed earlier.” I know the point. You're right. Tomorrow I'll go to bed at nine. OK.
Dad: Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Parents set the rules. Not the kids.
Howard: So I can never stay up past ten on a weeknight now?
Dad: For now, no, you can't.
(續上期,下期續)
霍華:我明天晚上會早點睡。我保証!明天電眡沒什麽好看的。
爸爸:霍華,你沒搞清楚重點。
霍華:我知道,‘早點睡覺。’我知道重點。你說得對。我明天會九點上牀。可以了吧?
爸爸:抱歉,那不是我們家的槼矩。訂槼則的是爸媽。不是孩子。
霍華:所以從現在起,星期一到星期五我再也不能超過十點才睡?
爸爸:目前爲止不行,你不能超過十點睡。
重點解說:
★ promise (v.) 保証,
★ set the rules 制訂槼則
★ weeknight (n.) 星期一到星期五的夜晚
