The Power Cut

《停电》

The family was going on holiday. They were taking Biff and Chip. Mum and Dad were busy packing the car. "Will you pack these for us, please?" asked Wilma.

一家人正要去度假。 他们要带上比夫和奇普。 爸爸妈妈正忙着把东西装进车里。 “能不能请你们把这些帮我们装进去呀？” 威尔玛问道。

"There will be lots to do," said Dad. "You won't need those." "We will," said Wilf, "We must take the games station. I've got a great new game. "We want to watch these films," said Wilma. "We haven't seen some of them yet." "And can we take the CD player?" asked Biff.

“到时候会有好多事可以做，”爸爸说。 “你们用不着那些东西。” “我们用得着，”威尔夫说，“我们必须带上游戏机。 我有个超棒的新游戏。 “我们想看看这些电影，”威尔玛说。 “其中有些我们还没看过呢。” “还有我们能带上CD播放机吗？” 比夫问道。

It was a long journey. It took hours. They stopped for a break. "Let's get a drink" said Mum. "Can we play a game in the arcade first?" asked Wilf. At last they arrived at the cottage. "We're in the middle of a forest," said Wilf. "We're in the middle of nowhere," said Wilma.

路程很远。 花了好几个小时。 他们停下来休息了一下。 “我们去买点喝的吧，”妈妈说。 “我们能先去游戏厅玩个游戏吗？” 威尔夫问道。 他们终于抵达了那座小屋。 “我们现在在森林深处哎，”威尔夫说。 “我们这是在荒郊野外，”威尔玛说。

They went inside the cottage. Mum and Dad began to unpack the car. There was a big television in the front room. "Great!" said Chip. "Let's watch TV," "We could play some games," said Wilf. "Could you bring in our games station, Dad?" "Not now," said Dad. "Come and help us unpack the car."

他们走进了小屋。 爸爸妈妈开始把车上的东西卸下来。 前厅里有一台很大的电视。 “太棒了！” 奇普说。 “我们看电视吧，”“我们可以玩点游戏，”威尔夫说。 “爸爸，你能把我们的游戏机拿进来吗？” “现在不行，”爸爸说。 “过来帮我们卸车上的东西。”

At breakfast Wilma put on a film. Dad sighed. "Get dressed everyone. We didn't come on holiday to watch 'T'V." "Can we watch this first?" asked Wilma. "Later," said Dad. "Let's go out." "Wasn't it fun on the beach today?" said Mum. But nobody said anything. Wilf and Biff were busy playing a game. Chip and Wilma were listening to a CD.

吃早饭的时候威尔玛放了一部电影。 爸爸叹了口气。 “大家都去换衣服。 我们可不是来度假看电视的。” “我们能不能先看完这个呀？” 威尔玛问道。 “之后再看，”爸爸说。 “我们出门吧。” “今天在海滩上玩得是不是很开心呀？” 妈妈说。 可是没人吭声。 威尔夫和比夫正忙着玩游戏。 奇普和威尔玛正在听CD。
