PETS－2每日对话练习220

At dinner that night
　　Dad: Howard, your mother tells me that you're staying up too late.
　　Howard: I don't think so. I get enough sleep...like six hours a night.
　　Dad: Grown-ups sleep six hours. You need at least eight or nine hours, just like your brother.
　　Howard: Like Seth? He's a little kid. He needs more sleep than me.
　　Dad: Seth could teach you a thing or two about listening to your parents.
　　Howard: Ha! That'll be the day!
　　Dad: Your bedtime is ten o'clock from now on.

　　当天晚餐时
　　爸爸：霍华，你妈告诉我你太晚睡了。
　　霍华：我可不觉得。我睡够了……一个晚上六个钟头。
　　爸爸：成年人睡六个钟头。你至少需要八到九个小时，跟你弟弟一样。
　　霍华：跟赛司一样？他是小孩子。他比我需要睡眠。
　　爸爸：赛司可以教教你要听爸妈的话。
　　霍华：哈！你就慢慢等吧！
　　爸爸：从现在起，你的就寝时间是十点。
