Andrea: It’s your turn to put the kids to bed.

Andrea：轮到你让孩子去睡觉了。

Marlon: No, I put them to bed last night, didn’t I?

Marlon：不是吧，昨晚才是我让他们去睡觉的，不是吗?

Andrea: Nope, I did that. Don't forget their bed time story.

Andrea：才不是，昨晚是我。 不要忘了给他们讲个睡前故事。

Marlon: The kids won’t let me forget it. Okay, time for bed! Go brush your teeth and put on your pajamas. It’s lights out in 15 minutes.

Marlon：孩子们肯定是不会忘的，他们会提醒我的。 好吧，该睡觉了! 去刷牙，然后穿上睡衣。 15分钟内就要关灯了。

Andrea: What are you doing?

Andrea：你在干什么?

Marlon: I’m finishing my newspaper.

Marlon：我要看完报纸。

Andrea: Aren’t you going to watch over them to make sure they’re getting ready for bed?

Andrea：你不看着他们去刷牙睡觉吗?

Marlon: Nope. You have your methods and I have mine.

Marlon：不用。 你有技巧，我也有自己的办法。

Andrea: Okay, this I’ve got to see.

Andrea：好吧，我看是什么办法。

Marlon: I don’t hear anyone brushing their teeth. If everyone isn’t in bed in five

minutes, they’re going to get a cuddle from Norman.

Marlon：我没听到刷牙的声音呢。 如果谁没有在五分钟以内睡下，诺曼就会给他一个拥抱。

Andrea: Who’s Norman?

Andrea：谁是诺曼?

Marlon: Norman is just a little scary monster I told them about. Norman eats little children who aren’t in bed when they’re supposed to be. It’s my way of making sure they stay in bed through the night.

Marlon：我跟他们讲，诺曼是个可怕的小怪兽。 专吃不按时睡觉的小孩。 这就是我让他们睡觉的妙招。

Andrea: That’s terrible! That’ll give them nightmares.

Andrea：太恐怖了! 他们会做噩梦的。

Marlon: Nonsense. It won’t do them any harm. As my father told me, Norman only eats bad children.

Marlon：胡说。 根本不会给他们带来任何伤害。 我爸爸以前还跟我讲说，诺曼会吃不乖的小孩。
