Daniel: Yuck. The carrots taste awful and salty. Hi sis, how do you like them?

May: I like them very much. They are delicious.

Daniel: Well, you can have all my carrots.

May: Daniel, hold on for a minute. What are you trying to pull there?

Daniel: Nothing. Just that I don't care for these carrots.

(Pause briefly)

Daniel: Hi, sis., I saw you buy some chocolate cakes. I am done with the main course. It's about time for some dessert.

May: Oh, you want my chocolate cakes, so to speak!

Daniel: No, no, I'm just thinking of some dessert. And I have had enough carrots.

May: Daniel, carrots contain much Vitamin C. It is good for you.

Daniel: I know, but chocolate cake is even better.

May: Oh, s it! You know you need vegetables. You will end up fat if you don't watch your diet, now.

Daniel: Well, actually, I don't mind eating carrots, but chocolate cakes are much better. You know I was born with a sweet tooth.

丹尼尔：妈呀。这些胡萝卜又难吃又咸。姐姐，你觉得怎样？

阿美：我很喜欢。它们很好吃。

丹尼尔：你可以把我的胡萝卜全吃了。

阿美：等一下，丹尼尔。你又有什么鬼点子啊？

丹尼尔：没有，只是不喜欢这些胡萝卜嘛。

（停了一会）

丹尼尔：嗨，姐姐。我看到你买了一些巧克力蛋糕。我已经吃完主食了，现在是甜点时间。

阿美：哦，也就是说，你想要我的巧克力蛋糕。

丹尼尔：不，不。我只是想要些甜点。我已经吃厌胡萝卜了。

阿美：丹尼尔，胡萝卜含有丰富的维生素C。对你有好处。

丹尼尔：我知道，但是巧克力蛋糕更好。

阿美：不行！你要知道，你需要多吃蔬菜。如果你现在不注意自己的饮食，你会变胖的。

丹尼尔：好吧，事实上，我不介意吃胡萝卜，但是巧克力蛋糕更好些。你知道我天生爱吃甜食。

May: Mom cooks carrots for us very often. I like them very much and they contain much Vitamin C which is really good for my health. So I enjoy eating them from time to time. But Daniel just doesn't like them at all. Instead, he loves chocolate cakes. I've always told him he will end up fat if he doesn't watch his diet. It's a shame that he would never listen to me!
