客厅，Mike把Ben叫到自己身边 Mike: Ah, perfect! O, Ben! Ben! Ben: What? Mike: Hey, Ben, look! I need your help, OK? Here's what I want you to do, first... Ben: Is this gonna get me in trouble again? Mike: Ben, I'm your elder brother. No, I'd never get you into trouble. Maggie: Hi, guys! Ben: Hi, mom. Mike: Hey, mom! Maggie: Who left the paper scattered all over the sofa? Mike: He did. Ben: What? Mike: Don't worry mum, I'll clean it up then I'll explain to little Ben where he went astray. Maggie: I’m sorry. I thought this was Seaver home. Ben: That’s gonna cost you. Mike: Yeah, all right, all right. Ben, look. If you help me out tonight, I’ll do your homework for you. Ben: You’ll do my homework? Mike, I can’t afford it. Mike: Ok, all right, look. I’ll pay ya Ben: A hundred bucks. Mike: 200 bucks Ben: Deal! What do you want me to do? Mike: Ok, first. Come here. Now I want you to get Dad down here, and have him sit on the sofa right here, Ok? And then ask him a question. Ben: About what? Mike: It doesn't matter. Anything. Just tell him you wanna talk to him. Dad’s pushing over1 when one of us wants to open the channels of communication. Ben: Then what? Mike: I’ll take it from there, thanks. Ben: (cry out) Dad! Dad! Jason: What? Ben: Will you uh, sit right here and explain sex to me? Jason: Now? Ben: I’ve got to know by 5 o’clock. Jason: You’ve been watching Dr. Ruth again. All right, Ben, look… Mike: Hey, guys! Ah, dinner smells great, Dad. I see you’ve been reading the paper. Anything interesting? Jason: Well…I… Mike：没关系，我来收拾，然后我告诉他该放在哪儿。 Maggie：真遗憾，我还以为这是Seaver的家呢。 Ben；：我会给你颜色看的（让你付出代价）。 Ben：你来帮我做功课？Mike，我担当不起。 afford vt.提供, 给予, 供应得起 你就是说想和他谈谈，这种话爸爸最喜欢听，每当我们打开交流的渠道。 Ben：然后呢？ Mike：我现在去把东西拿来。 Mike: Ah! Very interest… Dad. Did you know that teenage drivers with drivers’ education have incredibly good safety records? Jason: Ahhhh… Mike: And Dad, would you believe what they says here? Car insurance fares for teenage boys are at their lowest level in years. Jason: Would you believe that, Ben? Ben: You got to admit it. The guy is smooth. Mike: Ahhhh! Dad, look at this. My dream car, 1972 V.W red top for a mere 2795. Jason: Um, but not smooth enough. Come on, Mike. We’ve been through all this before. Now we’re not gonna buy you a car. You are going to have to prove that you are responsible enough to own a car by earning the money for it. And since that means getting a job, it’s conceivable2 you won’t own a car in our lifetime! Mike: Hey! Great news, Dad! I got a job. Yeah. I start working tomorrow afternoon at the World of Burgers. Here’s a proud consent 3for my work permit. Just sign here. Ben: Like I said, the man is smooth. (Mike 在偷听老爸老妈说话) Mike: Why can't I have parents who yell? Carol: What you do this time? Mike: Ha! For your information, they just having a meeting deciding whether let me take a job at World of Burgers. Carol: Somebody hired you? Mike: Oh, fine, fine. Go ahead and laugh. But I just happen to know that Mom and Dad have great deal of faith in me. (In the room) Jason: I have no faith what so ever that he can handle both job and school. Maggie: So we agree. Jason: At the same time, we can’t just give up on him. Maggie: You’re going to say that for the first time in his life he wants to work for something, so why don’t we give him the chance. Jason: Yes, and… Maggie: And you think that getting this job could be a turning point for him. Jason: Yes, and then… Maggie: I know. And you think when you love your kids it involves some risks. Jason: Exactly! Do I think anything else? Maggie: No, that about covers it. Mike:真有意思爸爸，你知道受过驾驶教育的少年，驾驶的安全系数都很高？（露出狐狸尾巴） 少年开车的保险率近年来降到了最低点。 Ben：我承认这个人很圆滑。 Mike：你看这个，我理想的车型，1972年的沃尔沃，只有2795美元。 Jason：还不够好（smooth 上好的？）你以前提过了，可是现在我们并不打算给你买车。 你得证明自己能独立负责，通过挣钱买车。既然这意味着你要工作攒这笔钱，可以想象恐怕我们这一辈子也看不到你能买上车了。 Mike：„„嘿，好消息，爸爸！我找到工作了，明天下午我就开始在汉堡包大世界上班，这是父母允许领工作许可证的证明，请签个字吧。 （Jason这才发现自己着了道儿） Carol：有人会雇佣你？ Jason：可是我根本没有信心，他能上课打工两不误？ Maggie：你认为找工作能成为他的一个转折点？ Jason：对，而且 Maggie：而且你认为要爱我们的孩子就得为此冒点险？ Maggie：我讲的也差不多了。 Jason: Well, I think I know what you gonna say, too. You are gonna say that with this job he's gonna forget about his school completely. And then we've got a drop-out4 with a car and a lot of time on his hands. Maggie: All right. Jason: And then the first time he takes that car out he’s gonna meet a 23-year-old woman. And then he’s gonna quit his job because he has no time for burgers any more, you know what I mean? Coz all what he wants to do is drive, and he wants to drive so fast coz he's going to Lovers Lane. Yet he’s gonna to Lovers Lane so fast that the car spins5 out of control and hits another car——bomb! And there’s a bull, but that’s another story. And even though nobody’s hurt, thank Godness, Ah, Mike’s still in trouble. Woo…He let us car insurance expire. No! And next, look out at the door. there she is a 23-year-old woman. Yes, that one. And here she is, heavy with child. Yes, and she wants to marry Mike now. Now we got a kid with a kid, and no job, no income, no insurance and no future. „„ Maggie: You read my mind. Jason: Huh, you think you're over-reacting just a little? Maggie: Huh, me? Jason: Ok, we both see both sides of the question. Maggie: So what do we do? Jason: Well we do with any sensitive, loving caring parents would do. And I call heads. (he opens the door，Mike knocks in) Mike: Ah, Dad! Ah, you know, I, ah, just picking up this glass, someone throws it on the floor, probably Ben. Jason: Well, we were just discussing your job. Mike: Job? What job? O, World of Burgers. It just slipped my mind, you know, I’ve been studying so hard. Jason: Umm. Well, Mike. We’ve been giving careful consideration of both sides of this question. And after carefully considering it, we think that we will be taking a great chance. But, we're gonna sign those papers… Mike: Yeah! All right! Dad, you guys will not regret this! Jason: You just make sure your grades don’t… Mike: You know, Mom, Dad. I will promise I will make a solid D average. Jason: I think we were hoping for something more. 6Mike: Oh, wait. Whatever you want? D-plus grade. YEAH~! „他会成为一个拥有汽车的退学学生，整天闲着。 他想的就是开快车，因为他一头钻进了恋爱的小胡同。 于是他开着车去约会，车子太快以致失去了控制，突然撞上了另一辆汽车——嘣！ bull 胡说，废话？ 他还是有麻烦，因为他让我们的汽车保险彻底报废了。 这下我们的孩子有了个孩子，可是他工作没了，保险没了，甚至前途都没了。 Maggie：那我们该怎么做？ Jason：我们做每个理智、关心、爱护的父母该做的事情。（扔一个硬币）我压人头面。 也不知道是哪个人把杯子扔在地板上了，多半是Ben。 solid adj.固体的, 实心的, 坚固的, 结实的, 立体的, 可靠的, 一致的, 纯粹的 „„我可以保证我能保持一个平均的及格水平。 Jason：可是我们要求要高一点。 Mike：我豁出去了，那就及格加。 Maggie: Jason, this nickel has two heads.
