上图是来我们家的一个小客人,不知道叫什么,长得怪里怪气,象是披着头篷的国王,蛮有高贵的气质. 拍的时候怕惊了它(或者说怕它惊了我,哈哈),所以相机有点抖,有点糊了.

Mother: Go wash your hands, Danny. Dinner is ready.
Danny : Yes, Mom.
Mother: All right, everybody. Time for dinner!
Father : It makes my mouth water, Mother.
Mother: Set a good example for the kids, Father.(Danny stands up and reaches for the saltshaker.) Don't do that, Danny.
Danny : But I want the salt.
Mother: You can ask Fanny to pass the saltshaker.
Danny : All right.(To Fanny)Will you please pass me the saltshaker?
Fanny : Sure. Here you are.
Danny : Thank you.
Fanny : You're welcome....Shall I serve the soup, Mother?
Mother: Yes, please.(Fanny serves everybody soup.) Danny!
Danny : What is it this time?
Mother: Don't make any sound when you have your soup.
Danny :...Yes, Mother.
Father : Don't be so hard on him, Mother. He's only a child.
Mother : He's old enough to learn table manners.
Father : You can teach him in a more pleasant way. You'll spoil his appetite.
Mother: Maybe you're right. I shouldn't have blamed him before I taught him.

母亲: 丹尼,去洗手,可以吃饭了.

丹尼: 好的,妈妈.

母亲: 好了,大家吃饭喽.

父亲: 我的口水都流出来了,孩子他妈.

母亲: 给孩子们做个好榜样,孩子他爸.( 丹尼站起来伸手去拿盐罐.)不行, 丹尼.

丹尼: 可是我要盐啊.

母亲: 你可以叫芬妮拿给你呀.

丹尼: 好吧.(向芬妮说): 请把盐递给我好吗?

芬妮: 好的,给你.

丹尼: 谢谢.

芬妮: 不客气… 妈妈,我来帮你们盛汤好吗?

母亲: 好的,麻烦你.(芬妮帮每个人盛汤.) 丹尼!

丹尼: 又怎么了?

母亲: 喝汤的时候不要发出声音.

丹尼: …是的,妈妈.

父亲: 别对他这么凶,孩子他妈.他还是个小孩子.

母亲: 他已经该学餐桌礼仪了.

父亲: 你可以用温和的方式教他.你这样会坏了他的胃口.

母亲: 也许你说得对. 我不应该在没教他之前先责备他.
