The family are talking about what they will do this Saturday and Sunday. Mommy wants to go and visit her sister. We know Mommy’s sister, don’t we? Mommy’s sister is Lee’s auntie. She is Pat’s auntie, too. Sometimes, Lee and Pat go to visit their auntie and uncle. They like to visit Auntie and Uncle because their house is very interesting.

這家人在談論他們這週六和週日要做什麼。媽媽想要去看望她的姐姐。我們認識媽媽的姐姐，不是嗎？媽媽的姐姐是李的姨媽。她也是佩特的姨媽。有時候，李和佩特去看望他們的姨媽和姨夫。他們喜歡看望姨媽和姨夫，因為姨媽和姨夫的房子很有趣。

Daddy wants to look after his flowers, his vegetables, his fruit trees and his grass. He says they went to visit Auntie and Uncle last Saturday. He says they don’t need to go and visit them again so soon.

爸爸不想去看望孩子們的姨媽和姨夫。他想要待在家，在他的花園裡幹活。他說花園裡有很多活要幹。爸爸想要照料他的花、蔬菜、果樹和草。他說他們上週六看望過孩子們的姨媽和姨夫了。他說他們不需要這麼快又去看望孩子們的姨媽和姨夫。

Lee really wants to go and visit Auntie and Uncle again. He wants to go there so that he can use Uncle’s computer again. Last Saturday and Sunday, the family were at Auntie and uncle’s house, and Uncle let Lee use his computer. After that, Lee told Daddy that he would like to have a computer like Uncle’s.

Now, Lee and Daddy are talking about computers again. Lee is asking Daddy to buy him a computer like Uncle’s computer. Daddy says he can’t buy him a computer now, but that he will buy him a computer later. He said he will buy Lee a computer when Lee is ten years old. Lee is nine years old now. He will be ten years old next year.

現在，李和爸爸又在談論電腦。李央求爸爸給他買一臺像姨夫家裡那樣的電腦。爸爸說他現在不會給李買電腦，不過他以後會給李買電腦。他說等到李十歲，他會給李買電腦。李現在九歲了。明年他就十歲了。

Mommy tells Lee that they can talk about computers later. Now, she wants him to finish eating his dinner. She wants him to eat more vegetables. Mommy always tries to get Lee to eat more vegetables, so she gives him some more potatoes, tomatoes and onions. Then, she gives Daddy some more bread.

媽媽告訴李他們可以以後談論電腦。現在，她想要他吃完晚餐。她想要他多吃蔬菜。媽媽總是試著讓李多吃蔬菜，所以她給他更多的土豆、西紅柿和洋蔥。然後，她給爸爸更多面包。

Pat doesn’t want any more to eat. She says she has enough already. Pat is only interested in finishing dinner. She wants to finish dinner so that she can go into the living room and watch television. Pat usually likes to watch television after dinner on Fridays.

媽媽和爸爸在談論他們下週六要做什麼

Mommy

Let’s go and visit my sister tomorrow.

Daddy

What? Again? We went there last Saturday! Why do you want to visit her again so soon?

Mommy

You know I really like to talk with my sister. I can’t talk to her from Monday to Friday because I have to work, so I like to go and see her on Saturdays and Sundays.

Daddy

But we have a lot of work to do around the house, and I also have a lot of work to do in the garden. I really need to do something about the grass.

Mommy

Oh, you can do something about the grass when we come back. We won’t stay there too long. We can go on Saturday morning and come back in the afternoon.

Daddy

Oh, all right. But get everybody ready in time. Let’s start out from the house before eight o’clock.

Mommy

Okay, I’ll get Lee and Pat ready before eight o’clock. We’ll all be ready to go at half-past seven.

Daddy

Good. Now, can I have some more onions, please?

Mommy

Yes, here you are. And can we stop at the flower shop tomorrow morning? I’d like to get my sister some flowers.

Daddy

Yes, okay. We’ll stop at the flower shop. can you get me some more bread, please?

Mommy

More bread? Yes, okay. Here you are.

Daddy

Thank you. This bread is really nice. Where did you get it? It’s different to the kind of bread we usually have.

Mommy

I got it from that new bread shop near the children’s school. That’s the only shop that sells this kind of bread.

Daddy

Really? Was it expensive?

Mommy

No, it wasn’t. It was quite cheap. I know - let’s stop at that bread shop tomorrow, too. We can get some of this kind of bread to take to my sister. Maybe she will like it, too.

媽媽

明天我們去看望我姐姐吧。

爸爸

什麼？又去？我們上週六去過了！為什麼你想要這麼快又去看望她？

媽媽

你知道我真的喜歡和我姐姐聊天。週一到週五我得上班，不能和她聊天，所以我喜歡週六和週日去看望她。

爸爸

可是在家裡我們有很多事要做，在花園裡我還有很多活要幹。我真的需要鋤草了。

媽媽

哦，我們回來後你可以鋤草啊。我們不會在那待太久。我們可以週六早上去，下午回。

爸爸

哦，好吧。不過每個人都得準時準備好。我們在八點前從家裡出發吧。

媽媽

好，我會讓李和佩特在八點前準備好。我們都會在七點半準備好出發。

爸爸

好。現在，能給我些洋蔥嗎？

媽媽

好，給你。明天早上我們可以在花店停一下嗎？我想要給我姐姐買花。

爸爸

可以，好。我們會在花店停一下。可以遞給我更多的麵包嗎？

媽媽

更多面包？可以，好。給你。

爸爸

謝謝。這麵包真好吃。你在哪裡買的？這麵包和我們經常吃的那種麵包不同。

媽媽

我在孩子們學校附近的新麵包店買的。那是唯一一家賣這種麵包的商店。

爸爸

真的嗎？這麵包貴嗎？

媽媽

不，不貴。這麵包很便宜。我想——明天我們在麵包店也停一下吧。我們可以買這種麵包帶給我姐姐。也許她也喜歡。
