Daddy and Mommy are speaking about the clothes shop

爸爸和媽媽在談論服裝店

Daddy

What did you buy at the clothes shop? Did you get any nice clothes for Lee and Pat?

Mommy

Yes, I did. I got some skirts for Pat and a shirt for Lee.

Daddy

Were they expensive? Did you have enough money?

Mommy

They weren’t too expensive. They were quite cheap. Look! Lee is wearing his new shirt. Do you like it?

Daddy

M..mm.m, it’s nice but it looks a little too big to me. Don’t you think it’s too big for him?

Mommy

If it is a little too big, that’s okay. He will grow into it.

Daddy

Yes he will, won’t he? Lee is growing a lot now. Did you get everything the children need?

Mommy

No, I didn’t. We still need some new shorts for Lee and some new shoes for Pat. Maybe I’ll go and buy them next week.

Daddy

Well, when you buy shoes, be careful. Shoes can be very expensive these days. What kind of shoes do you want to get?

Mommy

I want to get her some shoes that she can go to school in. Pat wants to get some red shoes, but I think black shoes are better.

Daddy

Yes, black shoes are better for school. Well, that’s enough about clothes. Is dinner ready yet? Look at the time – it’s half past seven already!

Mommy

Is it? Oh, yes. I know – why don’t you go into the kitchen and get dinner ready?

Daddy

What?

Mommy

You go into the kitchen and get dinner ready, and I’ll put the children’s new clothes away in their room.

Daddy

What? Me get dinner ready?

Mommy

Yes. You can do that, can’t you? Why am I the only one who always has to get dinner ready?

Daddy

Oh, all right. I’ll go and get dinner ready. I’m really hungry!

爸爸

你在服裝店買了什麼？你給李和佩特買了漂亮衣服嗎？

媽媽

是的，我買了。我給佩特買了幾條短裙，給李買了一件襯衫。

爸爸

衣服貴嗎？你帶的錢夠嗎？

媽媽

衣服不太貴。衣服很便宜。看！李穿著他的新襯衫。你喜歡嗎？

爸爸

嗯……很漂亮，不過我看有點大。你不覺得襯衫穿在他身上有點大嗎？

媽媽

如果只是大一點點是可以的。他會長大的。

爸爸

是，他會的，不是嗎？李現在長大了很多。你買了孩子們需要的所有衣服嗎？

媽媽

不，我沒有。我們還需要給李買新短褲，給佩特買新鞋子。也許我下週就去給他們買。

爸爸

好吧，你買鞋子的時候要仔細。現在的鞋子會很貴。你想要買什麼樣的鞋子？

媽媽

我想給她買上學穿的鞋子。佩特想要紅色的鞋子，不過我認為黑色的鞋子更合適。

爸爸：

是，黑色的鞋子上學穿更合適。好吧，衣服就說到這了。晚餐做好了嗎？看看時間——已經七點半了！

媽媽

是嗎？哦，是啊。我知道了——為什麼你不去廚房做晚餐呢？

爸爸

什麼？

媽媽

你去廚房做晚餐，我要把孩子們的新衣服放進他們的房間。

爸爸

什麼？我做晚餐？

媽媽

是啊。你會做晚餐，不是嗎？為什麼總是隻有我做晚餐？

爸爸

哦，好吧。我去做晚餐。我太餓了！
