In this lesson you will learn how to speak when you wish to do something at some other time.

在這堂課裡你們會學到當你想要改個時間做某件事時該怎麼說

Murphy, aren’t you studying?

莫非，你不讀書嗎？

I’ve just finished. Let me watch South Park!

我才剛讀完，讓我看《南方四賤客》啦！

I guess it’s your turn to clean the kitchen today.

我猜今天該你打掃廚房了

We had a deal, Kate. Don’t you remember the laundry?

我們約好的，凱特，你不記得洗衣服的事嗎？

Murphy, that deal is already done. I cleaned the carpets! You’d better clean up the kitchen now.

莫非，那個約早就完成了。我清了地毯！你最好去清理廚房

Uff...!!! Alright! I’ll do that later. For now, let me watch TV.

呃，好吧！我晚點再去，現在讓我看電視

My kids get on my nerves these days.

我的小孩最近真是氣死我了

Guess they are not kids anymore!

可能他們已經不是孩子了！

Guess not. Every time I tell them to do something, I get a ‘do it later’ reply!

大概吧，每次我叫他們去做事，都得到「等下再做」的回覆！

My kids say that, too. It’s a teenage problem.

我的孩子也那樣說。這是青少年問題

I never did that when I was a teenager!

我青少年時期從沒那樣說過！

Then probably you should do it now.

那麼或許你該現在開始

What do you mean?

你是什麼意思？

When your kids ask you for something, reply “I’ll do it later”.

你的小孩請你做什麼事的時候，就說「我等下再去做」

Yeah, that might be a good solution.

對啊，那可能是個不錯的解決方法

I’ve tried it and it brought me good results!

我試過而且結果不錯！

Have you already fixed the car, Murphy?

你修車了沒，莫非？

No, I was thinking about doing it later in the afternoon.

還沒，我打算下午再做

You’ve been saying that since Monday!

你從星期一就這麼說了！

I promise! It’ll be done by evening. Have you ironed my clothes?

我發誓！晚上前一定會做好。你燙我的衣服了沒？

No, I will do it later.

還沒，我等一下再做

Please stop saying that! I need to go out.

不要再那樣說了！我要出門

Then go and fix the car right now!

那你現在就去修車！

Okay! Okay! I got the message.

好吧！好吧！我知道了

Austen, how are you?

I’m fine Kate! I was looking for you!
