对话文本
D: 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 a LCD screen. The remote control is on the coffee table next to the armchair.
L: would you mind if I helped out in the kitchen instead? I do enjoy cooking.
D: this is supposed to be your vacation; we'd like you to just relax.
L: cooking makes me feel relaxed. So, what are we cooking?
D: ok, well, we're going to make a pan of lasagne, a salad, and some garlic bread. Here's the recipe. Do you want to get the ingredients we need out of the cupboard?
L: sure. We should probably pre-heat the oven right away, too.
D: that's a good idea. Can you set the oven to 200 degrees Celsius?
L: that's a bit high for lasagne. I'll just set it at 180 degree and we can take it from there.
D: fine. I'll just get out the casserole dish, the saucepan, the salad bowl, and the baking sheet.
L: 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?
D: I don't think it's broken.
L: 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!
D: fine. I'll go vacuum. Let me know if you need any other help.
参考翻译
你女儿快回来了。我该准备晚饭去了。如果想看电视的话，你可以去电视机房看。我们刚刚买了台新电视，是液晶屏的。遥控机就在扶手椅旁边的咖啡桌上。
你介不介意我去厨房帮忙?我很喜欢做饭.
你是来哦度假的，我们希望你能好好休息。
做饭对于我来说就是休息。那么，咱们晚饭做什么?
好吧,嗯,我们打算做一锅意大利宽面,一份沙拉还有些大蒜面包。这儿有菜谱。你能把咱们需要的配料从柜橱里拿出来吗？
没问题。我们应该现在就把烤箱预热上。
好主意。你可以把烤箱调到200摄氏度.
做意大利宽面这温度有点高了。我想调到180度，这样我们才好把它从里面拿出来。
好的。我要拿一下烤盘，平底锅，沙拉碗和烤箱垫。
你知道的，这些我可以自己来。你为什么不去找把螺丝刀和钳子把吸尘器修修呢。
我觉得它没坏呢。
嗯，如果没坏的话，你可是得学学怎么能充分发挥吸尘器的用途了。因为看起来你们家已经好久没有吸过尘了。
好吧。你去弄吸尘器。如果你需要帮忙就叫我。
