Mary:
Let’s see if we can reach some sort of agreement over your curfew.
让我们来看看,是不是能针对你的夜归时间达成什么协议?
Tim:
Okay. Everyone else’s parents let them stay out until two or three in the morning.
好吧,别人的父母都让他们玩到凌晨2 点或3 点。
Mary:
Well. I’m not everyone else’s mother. I think you need to be in the house by ten o’clock.
是吗,可我不是别人的母亲。我认为你10 点钟必须回到家里。
Tim:
That’s absurd. I know some junior high kids who can stay out later than that.
那太荒谬了。我认识一些初中生,他们都可以10 点以后回家。
Mary:
I’ll be worried if you stay out late.
如果你在外面待到太晚,我会担心的。
Tim:
Okay, how about a midnight curfew? And I’ll let you know where I am.
好吧,12 点怎么样?更何况我会让你知道我在什么地方的。
Mary:
That sounds reasonable.
听起来还可以.
