在醫(yī)院里，四個孩子剛做完手術(shù)，還不能說話。他們疼痛難受，興致不高。Molly在逐一開導(dǎo)安慰他們，并承諾晚飯會有他們喜歡的口味的冰淇淋。

    Molly： It hurts， doesn't it？ [Betty nods her head yes.] Molly： You'll feel better tomorrow， Betty， believe me. Only one day， and it won't hurt as much. Do you feel like eating？ Having some dinner？ Oh， don't look so sad. Let me tell you about your dinner. It's ice cream. [Betty smiles.] Molly： Ice cream. All kinds of flavors. Chocolate？ [Betty shakes her head no.] Molly： Strawberry？ [Betty nods yes.] Molly： Vanilla？ [Betty nods yes again.] Molly： Vanilla， too？ [Betty smiles.] I see you're feeling better already， Betty. So you will have dinner？ [Betty agrees she will.] Molly： OK， honey， we'll see to it that you have strawberry and vanilla ice cream. Just rest now. You need some rest to help you get better quickly. Hi， Frank. How you doing？ Oh， come on now. You're a big boy. It doesn't hurt that much， does it？ Oh， I'm sorry it hurts so much， and you won't be able to have dinner. You're just going to have ice cream. Yes， ice cream. Lots of flavors. Want to hear them？ [Frank nods his head yes.] Molly： Chocolate？ [Frank loves chocolate， and he smiles.] Molly： Then chocolate it is. One scoop or two？ [Frank holds up three fingers.] Molly： Three scoops？ [Frank nods.] Molly： Then three it will be. [She walks over to Tim， and he holds up three fingers.] Molly： You want three scoops also？ [Tim nods.] Molly： Chocolate， too？ [Tim nods.] Molly： Well， I see you're feeling better. [Tim shakes his head no.] Molly： Well， at least you're acting like you feel better. Three scoops of chocolate ice cream for Tim coming up.

    「語言點精講」

    1. Only one day， and it won't hurt as much.只要過一天，就不會這么疼了。

    as much： 同樣的，同樣程度的，同樣多的。表示與某種以前的事一樣多、嚴(yán)重、厲害等。

    2. Do you feel like eating？

    你想吃東西嗎？

    feel like doing something： 想要，想做。

    3. Having some dinner？

    想吃晚飯嗎？這是“Do you feel like having some dinner？”的縮略。

    4. OK， honey， we'll see to it that you have strawberry and vanilla ice cream.好，親愛的，我們一定讓你吃到草莓冰淇淋和香草冰淇淋。

    see to it that…： 是負(fù)責(zé)保證或管好某事。

    5. Oh， come on now. You're a big boy.噢，別這樣了。你是個大孩子了。

    come on： 別這樣了。相當(dāng)于“stop acting like that”

    You're a big boy.： 你是個大孩子了（不該這樣耍小孩子脾氣）。

    6. It doesn't hurt that much， does it？

    疼得并不那么歷害，是吧？

    that much 中的 that是副詞，表示較大的程度，常用于疑問或否定的意思。如：Your joke isn't that funny.（你的笑話并不那么可笑。）

    I don't have that many books.（我沒有像人們想的那么多書。）

    7. Three scoops of chocolate ice cream for Tim coming up. Tim的三勺巧克力冰淇淋馬上就到。這是Molly在模仿小飯店侍者常用的口吻。

    coming up： 很快就拿來，馬上送到。這是一個在非正式場合使用的短語，用于當(dāng)你要幫別人盛食物或飲料時。
