Larry和李華正提前準備外出，到Larry爸爸媽媽家來過禮拜天。

(Knock on door)

LL: Come on, Li Hua. It's time to hit the road! We've got a long drive ahead of us.

LH: 進去，進去，著哪些急呀！正確了，你覺得It's time to hit the road? Hit是打的意思，大家為何要打大馬路？

LL: To hit the road means to leave. It's time for us to leave.

LH: 噢，to hit the road便是考慮，上路的意思。哎喲，我的包還沒有裝好耶!

LL: Li Hua, I told you that we need to hit the road by 9:00 am if we're going to make it to my parents' house before dark.

LH: 我明白！你覺得過要在天黑了之前到，9點前就務必考慮。我還有十多分鐘就好了。

LL: All right, but please hurry up. I hate driving on country roads after dark. It can be dangerous.

LH: 好了，好了，別催我啦! 正確了。Larry，大家能不能先到吃個早飯？

LL: I don't want to stop right after we hit the road. You can have a snack now and then we'll stop for lunch.

LH: 哪些？你需要我先吃點零食，直到下午才吃午飯?。慷胰缃窈灭I噢！并且我家中哪些吃的也沒有。

LL: How about this: If you can be ready to hit the road in five minutes, then we can stop for breakfast. Otherwise, you're just going to have to wait until lunch.

LH: 你怎么也要講標準吶！五分鐘內考慮我也能吃早飯，不然就得直到下午再用餐。沒什么問題，我只想要三分鐘就可以了。

LL: Are you sure you have everything you need?

LH: 嗯，我覺得應當都備齊了吧。好了，大家回去吧！Let's hit the road!

LL: It's about time! I'll go and put your bag in the car.

LH: 你來將我的包放進車內呀？那么就麻煩你了。別忘記，breakfast before we hit the road！

LH: Larry，你開了肯德基麥當勞啦！并不是說好了先去吃東西的嗎？

LL: Sorry, I missed the turn. We can turn around and go back. There's no need to have a hissy fit.

LH: 你說什么？Have a hissy fit？那代表什么意思？

LL: To have a hissy fit means to get really upset about something and throw a tantrum.

LH: To have a hissy fit便是鬧脾氣的含意。也沒有發(fā)火，我只是認為你是有意沒去肯德基麥當勞的。

LL: Well, look, I'm going to stop. See? You're going to get what you want, so there is no need to have a hissy fit.

LH: 我跟你說了，也沒有發(fā)火嘛！你為啥一直那樣說我呀？

LL: Oh great. Now, you're going to have a hissy fit because I asked you not to have a hissy fit.

LH: 這些，這些，你在說什么？我鬧脾氣是由于你要我別鬧脾氣？你都將我搞糊涂了。

LL: Yeah, let's just forget about the whole thing and go get some breakfast. I'm actually a little hungry, too.

LH: 就是啊，不要再說了哪些發(fā)火不鬧脾氣了。我好餓噢，快坐下來吃早餐吧！

LL：Hey Li Hua, look at that little boy. He's having a hissy fit!

LH: 哪個小孩呀？噢，那里那個他。大家進去的情況下他就早已在鬧了。或許他沒有取得肯德基麥當勞的小玩具。
