bedtime 睡覺時間 Mom: It’s time for bed. 該睡覺了。 Son: But I’m not sleepy, mom. Can I stay up and watch more TV? 媽媽,但是我一點也不困。我能再看一會兒電視嗎? Mom: It’s already past 11. You have school tomorrow. You’ll be sleepy all day tomorrow if you don’t sleep well tonight. 已經11點多了。你明天還要上學。如果你今天晚上休息不好的話,明天一天會犯困的。 Son: I know, but I promise I won’t be sleepy tomorrow. I work really hard.
我知道,但是我保證明天不犯困。我很努力的。 Mom: Don’t you have a exam coming up soon? I am sure you could spend more time preparing for those. 你不是快要考試了嗎?我肯定你可以多花點時間準備的。 Son: Oh, I nearly forgot the exams. 哦,我差點忘了,還有考試呢。 Mom: You do well in the math, but your history is not good enough. Am I right? 你數學很好,好的站,但是歷史不是很好,對吧? Son: Yeah, I guess so. Maybe I could go to sleep now and get up early to review the lessons tomorrow. 是的,是這樣的。或許我應該現在就睡覺,明天早點起來復習功課。

Mom: An excellent idea. Work now and play later. 好主意,先學習后玩。 Son: I know you’re right. School is more important than TV. But can I watch one more show then go to bed? 你說的是對的。學習比看電視重要。不過我能再看一個節目再去睡覺嗎? Mom: No, now is bedtime. 不行,現在就睡覺。
