A: Your daughter will be back soon. I'm going to start making dinner. You can just watch some TV in TV room if you like. We just bought a new TV with an LCD screen. The remote control is on the coffee table next to the armchair.
你女兒快回來了,我該準備晚飯了,如果想看電視的話,你可以去電視機房看,我們剛剛買了臺新電視,是液晶屏的遙控器,就在扶手椅旁邊的咖啡桌上。
B: Would you mind if I helped out in the kitchen instead? I do enjoy cooking.
你介不介意我去廚房幫忙,我很喜歡做飯。
A: This is supposed to be your vacation. We'd like you to just relax.
你是來渡度假,我們希望你能好好休息。
B: Cooking makes me feel relaxed. So what are we cooking?
做飯對我來說就是休息,那么咱們晚飯做什么?
A: Okay, well, we're going to make a pan of lasagna, a salad and some garlic bread. Here's the recipe. Do you want to get the ingredients we need out of the cupboard?
好吧,我們打算做一鍋意大利寬面,一份沙拉,還有一些大蒜面包,這兒有菜譜,你能把咱們需要用的配料從柜櫥里拿出來嗎?
B: Sure. We should probably pre-heat the oven right away too.
沒問題,我們應該現(xiàn)在就把烤箱預熱上。
A: That's a good idea. Can you set the oven to 200 degrees Celsius?
好主意,你可以把烤箱調(diào)到200攝氏度嗎?
B: That's a bit high for lasagna. I'll just set it at 180 degree and we can take it from there.
做意大利寬面,這溫度有點高了。我想調(diào)到180度,這樣我們才能把它從里面拿出來。
A: Fine. I'll just get out the casserole dish, the saucepan, the salad bowl, and the baking sheet.
好的,我要拿一下烤盤,平底鍋,沙拉碗和烤箱墊。
B: You know, I could do this myself. Why don't you go get the screwdriver and the pliers and go fix the vacuum cleaner so it works better?
你知道的,這些我可以自己來,你為什么不去找把螺絲刀和鉗子把吸塵器修修呢?
A: I don't think it's broken.
我覺得他沒壞啊。
B: Well, if it's not broken, then you need to learn how to vacuum better because it doesn't look like you've vacuumed for ages.
如果他沒壞的話,你可是得好好學學,怎么能充分發(fā)揮吸塵器的用途了。因為看起來你們家已經(jīng)好久沒有吸過塵了。
A: Fine. I'll go vacuum. Let me know if you need any other help.
好吧,我去弄吸塵器,如果你需要幫忙就叫我。
