地道美語聽力播客960：給孩子改衣服

Mom: Put on these pants and this shirt, come over here, and stand still. I need to alter your brother’s clothes to fit you.

媽媽：穿上這件褲子和襯衫， 過來，站好。你哥哥的衣服，得給你改改，你才能穿。

Sa’ad: Oh, Mom!

Sa’ad：哦，媽媽!

Mom: Hurry up. I need to let down the hems and take up the sleeves. I don’t think I have to take in the pant legs, but I might have to let out the waist a little.

媽媽：快點(diǎn)。我得把側(cè)邊改小點(diǎn)，把袖子改短點(diǎn)，褲腿不用改短，褲腰得改小點(diǎn)。

Sa’ad: Ouch!

Sa’ad：哎呀!

Mom: Sorry, but you need to stop moving around or your hem will be uneven and your seams will be crooked. You and your brothers are growing so fast I feel like a full-time tailor!

媽媽：抱歉，你別亂動(dòng)了。再動(dòng)這個(gè)褶邊就不平了， 針腳就彎彎曲曲的了。你和你哥哥長(zhǎng)得太快了，我覺得我就像是一個(gè)全職裁縫。

Sa’ad: Are we done?

Sa’ad：弄好了嗎?

Mom: No, we’re not. Stay right there. You can help me iron a crease into this shirt before I put it through the sewing machine.

媽媽：沒有，還沒，在這兒待著。你幫我把襯衫上的褶皺熨平了，待會(huì)我要用縫紉把衣服縫好。

Sa’ad: Oh, Mom!

Sa’ad：哎呀，媽媽!

Mom: Don’t “Oh, Mom” me. This machine doesn’t seem to be working. I hope I don’t have to stitch all these by hand.

媽媽：別老是這么叫我。縫紉機(jī)好像不管用了，可別讓我用手縫完啊。

Sa’ad: Mom, since I’m growing so fast, I’ll probably grow out of these clothes in a couple of months. Let’s wait until after my growth spurt to alter them.

Sa’ad：媽媽，你看我長(zhǎng)得這么快，幾個(gè)月以后，這些衣服我就又穿不下了，等我長(zhǎng)到能穿的時(shí)候再穿吧。

Mom: And what will you wear in the meantime, high waters?

媽媽：那你現(xiàn)在穿什么，九分褲?

Sa’ad: No, shorts!

Sa’ad：不，穿短褲!
