A: 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 an LCD screen. The remote control is on the coffee table next to the armchair.
你女兒快回來了，我該準備晚飯了，如果想看電視的話，你可以去電視機房看，我們剛剛買了臺新電視，是液晶屏的遙控器，就在扶手椅旁邊的咖啡桌上。


B: Would you mind if I helped out in the kitchen instead? I do enjoy cooking.
你介不介意我去廚房幫忙，我很喜歡做飯。

A: This is supposed to be your vacation. We'd like you to just relax.
你是來渡度假，我們希望你能好好休息。

B: Cooking makes me feel relaxed. So what are we cooking?
做飯對我來說就是休息，那么咱們晚飯做什么？

A: Okay, well, we're going to make a pan of lasagna, a salad and some garlic bread. Here's the recipe. Do you want to get the ingredients we need out of the cupboard?
好吧，我們打算做一鍋意大利寬面，一份沙拉，還有一些大蒜面包，這兒有菜譜，你能把咱們需要用的配料從柜櫥里拿出來嗎？

B: Sure. We should probably pre-heat the oven right away too.
沒問題，我們應該現在就把烤箱預熱上。

A: That's a good idea. Can you set the oven to 200 degrees Celsius?
好主意，你可以把烤箱調到200攝氏度嗎？

B: That's a bit high for lasagna. I'll just set it at 180 degree and we can take it from there.
做意大利寬面，這溫度有點高了。我想調到180度，這樣我們才能把它從里面拿出來。

A: Fine. I'll just get out the casserole dish, the saucepan, the salad bowl, and the baking sheet.
好的，我要拿一下烤盤，平底鍋，沙拉碗和烤箱墊。

B: 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?
你知道的，這些我可以自己來，你為什么不去找把螺絲刀和鉗子把吸塵器修修呢？

A: I don't think it's broken.
我覺得他沒壞啊。

B: 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.
如果他沒壞的話，你可是得好好學學，怎么能充分發揮吸塵器的用途了。因為看起來你們家已經好久沒有吸過塵了。


A: Fine. I'll go vacuum. Let me know if you need any other help.
好吧，我去弄吸塵器，如果你需要幫忙就叫我。
