A Day in the Life of a Typical American White Collar Worker
Situation 16 Getting up in the Morning 早上起床
(The alarm goes off but James is already up.) (闹钟没响但James已经起来了)
James: Catherine, are you going to sleep all day or do I get some breakfast? Catherine,你是不是准备睡一整天,还要我来做早餐?
Catherine: Ah... What are you doing up so early? You never get up before me! 你怎么起这么早啊? 你从来没在我前面起来过。
James: I'm so excited about the deal with Wang yesterday that I'm actually looking forward to going to work. 昨天与王氏的生意太让我兴奋了,。 我真的盼望工作
Catherine: James honey, It is so nice to see you happy about your job. I know how long you have been waiting for some recognition from your boss. And look, now your honesty and hard work are paying off. 亲爱的詹姆士,看你对工作那么满意真是太好了。 我知道你等你老板的认可等了很长时间 瞧,现在你的诚恳和努力工作得到回报了
James: Well, are you just going to lie in bed? Why don't you make some eggs, toast and coffee while I take a shower? 好了,你还要在床上继续躺下去吗? 你为什么不在我洗澡的时候煎几个鸡蛋,烤点肉,煮点咖啡呢?
Catherine: All right, all right, I'm getting up. 好,好,我起来了。
