不一会，妈妈和丹尼尔就走到了车站，他们边等车边谈论起了交通工具。好像丹尼尔还有不少“高见”呢，那么他的“高见”会是什么呢？

Daniel: Mom, I've got something to tell you.
Mom: So, please!
Daniel: Aunt Jane buys a new bike for Tom. He is putting on grand airs.
Mom: I bought you a new one last year. Isn't it handsome?
Daniel: It is great. But Tom's bike is so much better than mine.
Mom: Frankly 1, he is more well-behaved than you.
Daniel: Nothing of that sort!
(Mom feels a little anxious.)
Mom: Why hasn't the bus come yet? Every morning we have to wait for so long.
(Daniel behaves like an adult.)
Daniel: Mom, it's OK. I will buy a big car one day. It is faster than the bus.
Mom: Really? I am looking forward to that. What about the traffic?
Daniel: Let me see.
(Daniel thinks for a while.)
Daniel: Yes. I will buy a plane for you. There is no traffic up there.

丹尼尔：妈妈，我有事情要对你说。
妈妈：说吧！
丹尼尔：简阿姨给汤姆买了一辆新的自行车。他现在可神气呢。
妈妈：我不是去年给你买了一辆吗？难道它不好吗？
丹尼尔：是很好。但是汤姆的自行车比我的好。
妈妈：说实话，他也比你表现得好啊。
（丹尼尔小声嘀咕。）
丹尼尔：哪有这回事！
（妈妈感到有些着急。）
妈妈：为什么公交车还没有来啊？每天早晨我们都要等这么久！
（丹尼尔表现得像个大人。）
丹尼尔：妈妈，没关系的。总有一天我会买一辆汽车的。它比公交车可快多了。
妈妈：真的？我可盼着呢。那交通问题怎么解决呢？
丹尼尔：让我想想。
（丹尼尔考虑了片刻。）
丹尼尔：知道了。我给你买一架飞机好了，在天上就不会出现交通堵塞了。
经典背诵 Recitation
Daniel: I like bikes. I've got one but I want a new one because my friend Tom's bike is so much better than mine. The traffic here is bad so it's really convenient to go around on a bike rather than wasting time stuck in traffic. Maybe I should get a car or even a plane for my Mom in the future. I don't want her to wait for the bus anymore.
