Daniel: Mom, why do you bring Daddy and me to this coffeehouse today? Don't you know that Daddy doesn't drink any coffee?
Shirley: Of course I know that. Look over there!
Daniel: Oh, it's sis. What is she doing here? To be a waitress in a coffeehouse? Are we broke?
Shirley: No, it's not like that. She just wants to improve her oral English. Look around. Almost all the customers here are foreigners.
Daniel: Oh, I know. She is preparing for the 2008 Olympics. She wants to be a good volunteer.
Shirley: Yeah.
Daniel: But I'm not sure whether she is up to the job. We have a good mother who keeps us away from housework.
Shirley: Go over there and look at the notice board. You'll find the answer there.
(Daniel comes back to his seat after seeing the notice board.)
Daniel: Mom, it's really a big surprise. Sis is the best waitress of the month.
Shirley: I knew it. That's why our whole family come here today.
Daniel: I'm so proud of sis. Mom, I want to be the best waiter of the next month.
Shirley: Don't you tell me you want to take a part-time job here? You are too young to do that.
Daniel: Well, I just want to do something, just like sis.
Shirley: I'm thinking about sparing you some housework to do. You reminded me just now.
Daniel: Let's just forget about it. I'd like to congratulate sis now.
Shirley: Maybe later. She is busy with her work. So we'd better not interrupt her.
Daniel: No problem. I can wait. Well, let's drink some coffee.
聽看學(xué)
丹尼爾: 媽媽，你今天為什么帶我和爸爸來咖啡廳啊?難道你不知道爸爸什么咖啡也不喝嗎?
雪莉: 那個(gè)我當(dāng)然知道啊。你看看那邊。
丹尼爾: 哦，是姐姐。她在這里做什么啊?在咖啡廳做服務(wù)員?我們家破產(chǎn)了嗎?
雪莉: 不是，不是那樣的。她是想提高她的英語口語?？纯粗車?。這里的顧客大多是外國人。
丹尼爾: 哦，我知道了。她是在為2008年的奧運(yùn)會(huì)做準(zhǔn)備呢。她要做一個(gè)出色的志愿者。
雪莉: 對(duì)了。
丹尼爾: 但是，我不敢肯定她能否做好這份工作。我們有個(gè)好媽媽，她從不讓我們做家務(wù)。
雪莉: 你去那邊，看看那個(gè)公告欄。你就能知道答案了。
(丹尼爾看完公告欄后，回到位置上。)
丹尼爾: 媽媽，真是一個(gè)很大的驚喜啊。姐姐是這個(gè)月的明星職工呢。
雪莉: 我早知道了。這就是為什么今天我們?nèi)叶紒磉@里的原因。
丹尼爾: 我真為姐姐感到自豪。媽媽，我想成為下個(gè)月的明星職工。
雪莉: 難道你想告訴我，你也想在這里做兼職嗎?你還太小，不行的。
丹尼爾: 可是，我也想做點(diǎn)什么啊，就像姐姐一樣。
雪莉: 我在考慮分給你一點(diǎn)家務(wù)活做做。你剛才提醒我了。
丹尼爾: 我們還是忘了那回事吧。我想現(xiàn)在過去祝賀姐姐。
雪莉: 晚點(diǎn)再去吧。她現(xiàn)在忙著工作呢。我們最好還是別打擾她吧。
丹尼爾: 沒問題。我會(huì)等的。不過，我們也喝點(diǎn)咖啡吧。

So my mom took dad and me to the coffeehouse, in order to congratulate May. I asked mom whether I could do the same thing. But she turned me down, saying I was too young to do. Anyway, I was proud of my sis.
