Daniel: Yuck. The carrots taste awful and salty. Hi sis, how do you like them?
May: I like them very much. They are delicious.
Daniel: Well, you can have all my carrots.
May: Daniel, hold on for a minute. What are you trying to pull there?
Daniel: Nothing. Just that I don’t care for these carrots.
(Pause briefly)
Daniel: Hi, sis., I saw you buy some chocolate cakes. I am done with the main course. It’s about time for some dessert.
May: Oh, you want my chocolate cakes, so to speak!
Daniel: No, no, I’m just thinking of some dessert. And I have had enough carrots.
May: Daniel, carrots contain much Vitamin C. It is good for you.
Daniel: I know, but chocolate cake is even better.
May: Oh, stop it! You know you need vegetables. You will end up fat if you don’t watch your diet, now.
Daniel: Well, actually, I don’t mind eating carrots, but chocolate cakes are much better. You know I was born with a sweet tooth.

丹尼爾：媽呀。這些胡蘿卜又難吃又咸。姐姐，你覺(jué)得怎樣?
阿美：我很喜歡。它們很好吃。
丹尼爾：你可以把我的胡蘿卜全吃了。
阿美：等一下，丹尼爾。你又有什么鬼點(diǎn)子啊?
丹尼爾：沒(méi)有，只是不喜歡這些胡蘿卜嘛。
(停了一會(huì))
丹尼爾：嗨，姐姐。我看到你買了一些巧克力蛋糕。我已經(jīng)吃完主食了，現(xiàn)在是甜點(diǎn)時(shí)間。
阿美：哦，也就是說(shuō)，你想要我的巧克力蛋糕。
丹尼爾：不，不。我只是想要些甜點(diǎn)。我已經(jīng)吃厭胡蘿卜了。
阿美：丹尼爾，胡蘿卜含有豐富的維生素C。對(duì)你有好處。
丹尼爾：我知道，但是巧克力蛋糕更好。
阿美：不行!你要知道，你需要多吃蔬菜。如果你現(xiàn)在不注意自己的飲食，你會(huì)變胖的。
丹尼爾：好吧，事實(shí)上，我不介意吃胡蘿卜，但是巧克力蛋糕更好些。你知道我天生愛(ài)吃甜食。
經(jīng)典背誦 Recitation
May: Mom cooks carrots for us very often. I like them very much and they contain much Vitamin C which is really good for my health. So I enjoy eating them from time to time. But Daniel just doesn’t like them at all. Instead, he loves chocolate cakes. I’ve always told him he will end up fat if he doesn’t watch his diet. It’s a shame that he would never listen to me!

Tell him to call back. 告訴他等會(huì)兒打過(guò)來(lái)。
3.表語(yǔ)
