The next night, Wednesday
Dad: Your teacher called me today. He was concerned about your performance.
Howard: Really? I guess I had a hard time concentrating today.
Dad: Some extra zzz will re-energize you. Get to bed early.
Howard: I guess I'm learning my lesson the hard way about staying up late!
Dad: Going to bed at one can wear anyone out.
Howard: That's for sure.
Dad: We'll see what happens after you get some better rest.

隔天晚上,星期三
爸爸:你的老师今天打电话给我。他蛮担心你的在校表现。
霍华:真的吗?我今天比较没办法专心。
爸爸:多睡一点会让你重获体力。早点睡吧。
霍华:看来熬夜熬太晚让我吃到苦头了!
爸爸:一点才睡觉,谁都会觉得累。
霍华:那倒是真的。
爸爸:等你睡饱之后,我们再看后续发展。
重点解说:
★ concerned (a.) 感到担心的
★ performance (n.) 表现。在此指学校的课业表现
★ concentrate (v.) 专心
★ zzz (n.) = z's,睡眠。因为一般会用z这个字母代表打鼾的声音,所以口语中用z's(固定用复数)表示睡眠
★ re-energize (v.) 重新获得体力
★ wear... out 把(某人)累坏了 [NextPage]
Seth goes to talk with Howard
Seth: Howard, you should listen to mom and dad!
Howard: What do little kids know about parents?
Seth: Well, mom buys me toys when I listen to her.
Howard: So what? I'm getting too old for toys anyway.
Seth: And I can stay up later on the weekends. It's so fun!
Howard: Oh, yeah. How late can you stay up?
Seth: Sometimes mom lets me stay up until I fall asleep on the sofa!
Howard: Really?

赛司:霍华,你应该听爸妈的话!
霍华:小孩子哪会了解爸妈?

赛司:而且我周末可以比较晚睡。那样好好玩!
霍华:是喔。你可以多晚睡?
赛司:妈妈有时候让我熬到在沙发上睡着!
霍华:真的吗?
重点解说:
