Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch

中文

那是个星期天，而在星期天我是从来都不早起的，有时我要一直躺到吃午饭时。

上个星期天，我起的很晚。

我望着窗外，外边一片昏暗。

“鬼天气”我想，“又下雨了”

正在这时，电话铃响了。

是我姑母路西打来的。

“我刚下火车”她说，“我这就来看你。”

“但我还在吃早饭”我说。

“你在干什么”她问道。

“我正在吃早饭”我又说了一遍。

“天啊”她说，“你总是起得这么晚吗？现在已经1点钟了！”

英文

Last Sunday I got up ver late.

I looked out of the window. It was dark outside.

"What a day" I thought. "It's raining again"

Just then, the telephone rang.

It was my aunt Lucy.

"I've just arrive by train" she said. "I'm coming to see you"
