3. Breakfast 早餐
A: Okay, Bob. I'M ready for beak-fast. Where's the coffee?
B: It's in that pan there. Jean broke the Silex last week, so I'm still boiling it.
A: It tastes like crankcase oil, but delicious.
B: That's good. You can always make beaskfast yourself if you don't like it.
A: What is the rebesides coffee?
B: I warmed a coupleof snails, and your eggs are in the frying pan.
A: Say, what time is it? Is it really only seven-fifteen. My watch says eight-fifteen.
B: You forgot to set your watch back. Daylight saving time was over at midnight last night.
A: Gee.I could've slept another hour. Notes:
Silex 一种咖啡渗滤壶的牌名
crankcase oil (汽车发动机中的)机油
snail 面包卷
daylight saving time 夏令时间(在美国大约每年四月上旬开始,十月下旬结束,把时钟向前拨一小时)
I could've slept another hour 我本来可以再睡一个小时的. 译文：
A：好，鲍勃，我已准备好吃早饭了。咖啡在哪儿？
B：在那只锅里。吉恩上星期把渗滤壶打碎了，所以我只能用锅煮咖啡。
A：这味道有点像汽车里的机油，不过还是很好吃。
B：那好，如果你不喜欢，你随时可以自己动手做早饭。
A：咖啡旁边是什么东西？
B：我热的两个面包卷。你的鸡蛋在平煎锅里。
A：告诉我，现在几点钟了？真的只有七点十五分吗？我的表已经八点十分了。
B：你忘了把表拔慢一小时。夏令时间已在昨天午夜结束了。
A：唉！我本来可以再多睡一小时的。 |
