外祖父在和李说话

Grandfather

Hello, Lee. It’s good to see you. How are you?

Lee

I’m very well, thanks. And I’m so pleased you came today.

Grandfather

I’m happy we came, too. Now, where’s your sister? Where’s Pat?

Lee

She’s waiting for everyone in the living room. She’s very excited. We’re nearly ready to start her birthday party.

Grandfather

Oh, good. Here, let me take Pat’s present into the living room. I have it here – in this box. Where can I put it?

Lee

You can put it by the other presents in there. It’s very big. What is it?

Grandfather

Ah, wait and see. Why don’t you take your grandmother into the kitchen? I’m sure she would like a cup of something to drink.

Lee

All right, I’ll do that. Here, give me your bag. I’ll put it away for you.

Grandfather

Thank you, Lee.

Lee

Go on Grandfather… tell me what you bought Pat for her birthday. Is it some kind of toy?

Grandfather

No, it isn’t. It isn’t a toy. It’s something she can take to school. It’s something that can help her with her schoolwork.

Lee

Oh, I know – it’s a schoolbag. It’s a bag for her to put her books, pens, pencils, erasers and rulers in.

Grandfather

No, it isn’t. And I’m not going to tell you what it is. You’ll just have to wait and see like Pat.

Lee

All right, Grandfather. Where’s Grandmother? I’ll take her into the kitchen now and get her a cup of something to drink.

Grandfather

Thank you, Lee. I’m pleased we came here in time for the start of the party. Pat is not the only one who is excited – I’m excited, too.

噢，好。来，让我把佩特的礼物带到客厅去。我把它装到了盒子里。我要把它放在哪里？

李

你可以放在那儿，其他礼物的旁边。这太大了。这是什么？

外祖父

哈，就等着看吧。把你外婆带到厨房里去吧？我肯定她想来一杯什么喝的。

李

好吧，我会的。来把你的包给我。我帮你收起来。

谢谢你，李。

说吧外公……告诉我你给佩特买了什么生日礼物。是什么玩具吗？
