Dad's Grand Plan

Dad's Grand Plan

爸爸的宏伟计划

Everyone was excited. It was holiday time. Kipper couldn't wait. Only two days to go, he said.

大家都兴奋极了。 假期就要来了， 基珀都等不及了。 他说：“只剩两天啦。”

Chip looked at Floppy. He was running round and round. They all laughed at him. See, even Floppy is excited, said Chip. Mum came in. She gave a big sigh. Dad wants a family meeting, she said. What's that? asked Kipper.

奇普看着弗洛皮， 它正转着圈跑个不停， 大家都被它逗笑了。 奇普说：“你们看，连弗洛皮都很兴奋呢。” 妈妈走了进来，重重地叹了口气。 她说：“爸爸要开个家庭会议。” 基珀问：“什么会议呀？”

Dad has a grand plan. A grand plan? said Chip. What's a grand plan? I don't like the sound of it, said Biff. Everyone sat at the table. Dad had made a long list of jobs. I want everyone to help. Then nobody gets cross, he said.

爸爸有个宏伟的计划。 奇普问：“宏伟的计划？” 什么是宏伟的计划呀？ 比夫说：“我听着感觉不太妙。” 大家都坐到了桌子旁。 爸爸列了好长一张家务清单。 我希望每个人都搭把手。 他说：“这样就没人会生气啦。”

Everyone looked at the list. They all had jobs to do. Mum liked Dad's grand plan. Chip was not so sure. I've packed my bag, said Biff. And I've packed my bag, said Kipper. I have not packed yet, said Dad. Why not? asked Mum.

大家都看着清单， 每个人都有要做的事。 妈妈很喜欢爸爸的宏伟计划， 奇普却不太看好。 比夫说：“我已经收拾好我的包啦。” 基珀说：“我也收拾好我的包啦。” 爸爸说：“我还没收拾呢。” 妈妈问：“为什么还没收拾呀？”

I can't find my socks," said Dad crossly. The socks were in the washing machine. Why were they in there? asked Dad. That was where you put them, said Mum. It was time to go. Dad's grand plan had worked. Nothing had gone wrong. There's still time, whispered Chip.

爸爸气呼呼地说：“我找不到我的袜子了。” 袜子在洗衣机里呢。 它们怎么会在那儿？爸爸问道。 妈妈说：“是你自己放进去的呀。” 出发的时间到了。 爸爸的宏伟计划进展得很顺利。 还没出任何岔子。 奇普小声嘀咕：“现在说还太早啦。”
