Shirley: You are late again, Maria. The teacher is about to come.
Maria: I know. I have to prepare the supper for the whole family before I leave.
Shirley: Oh, Ben has been cooking for us since I started attending this evening class. The good thing is, he has made great progress in cooking.
Maria: The housework is really a big problem for me. My husband is on a business trip to the U.S. now and I have to take care of everything myself.
Shirley: How about your one-year-old baby?
Maria: I've asked my parents to live with us for a while, so they can look after her for me while I am at work or in the class.
Shirley: How sweet of them! I have to work in the day time, study at night, and do housework during my spare time. I really hope I have eight arms and legs, like an octopus.
Maria: Me too. Sometimes I do want to give it up. I can't deal with so many things at a time.
Shirley: When is your Adult College Entrance Exam?
Maria: It's close coming up at the end of this month. That will be no more than 15 days from now on.
Shirley: Oh, my Adult College Entrance Exam is also around then. I don't know if I can pass it.
Maria: Why don't you take the CPA exam? You are already a good accountant, having so many years of experience.
Shirley: I just want to study in a college, majoring in economics. I've had this dream for a long time.
Maria: I understand.
Shirley: Oh, this class ends very late. Do you have anyone to pick you up?
Maria: Don't worry, I can drive home and there won't be any problem.

雪莉：你又遲到了，瑪麗亞。老師就快要來了。
瑪麗亞: 我知道，但是我在走之前必須要做好全家的晚飯。
雪莉: 哦，自從我報名參加了夜校，本杰明就一直在為我們做飯。好在他現在廚藝大有長進。
瑪麗亞：家務活對我來說確實是個問題。我丈夫現在在美國出差，我必須自己照料一切事情。
雪莉：你一歲的孩子怎么辦？
瑪麗亞：我讓我的父母跟我一起住一段時間，這樣，我工作或上課的時候他們就可以照顧她了。
雪莉：他們可真好！我白天工作，晚上學習，還要在空閑時間做家務。我真希望自己有八只胳膊和腿，像章魚一樣。
瑪麗亞：我也是。有時候我真想放棄，我不能同時處理好所有的事情。
雪莉：你的成人高考是什么時候？
瑪麗亞：就在這個月底，離現在只有不到15天了。
雪莉：哦，我的成人高考也快了。我不知道自己能不能通過呢。
瑪麗亞：你為什么不考注冊會計師呀？你已經是個好會計了，有多年的經驗。
雪莉：我只想在大學里學經濟，那是我長久以來的夢想。
瑪麗亞：我知道。
雪莉：噢，這里很晚才放學，會有人來接你嗎？
瑪麗亞：別擔心，我能開車回家，沒有什么問題的。
