Module 6  Problems

Unit 1 If I start after dinner, I’ll finish it before I go to bed.

Dad: Tony, you're playing the guitar again. Have you done your homework'?

Tony: No, not yet, but I haven't got much. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed.  Anyway, you wanted me to learn an instrument.

Dad: I want you to get into the habit of doing your homework as soon as you come home from school. If you start now, you'll finish it before dinner.

Tony: Yes, but I need a rest from schoolwork. I also want to go to the library to do volunteer work.

Dad: So you're not going to do your home work now?

Tony:No, it isn’t necessary to do it now. I'll do it later.

Dad: That's a shame. I really don't think you should go to the library so much.

Tony:Why not? I can work in the library and I'm also able to read books there.

Dad: No deal, Tony. If you do all these other things instead of your homework, you won't have time to study.

Tony:You mean you don't want me to help the community and increase my knowledge of the world?

Dad: That's not the point. You should consider what the most important thing is. I don't want you to fail your exams.

Tony: But.....

Dad: You can't do anything before you finish your homework. I'm sorry, but that's my last word.

汉语译文：

爸爸: 托尼，你又在弹吉它，你家庭作业完成了吗？

托尼: 没，还没有，但是今天作业不多。如果我晚饭后开始做，睡觉前肯定能做完。而且，你不是想让我学一门乐器吗？

爸爸: 我想让你养成一回家就做家庭作业的习惯。如果你现在开始做，晚饭前你就能做完了。

托尼: 是的，但是放学后我想休息一下。我还想去图书馆做点志愿者工作。

爸爸: 那么你现在不做作业了？

托尼: 不做， 没有必要现在做。我迟点儿再做。

爸爸: 真遗憾！我真的认为你不应该如此频繁地去图书馆。

托尼: 为什么？我可以在图书馆干活儿，而且还能在那里看书。

爸爸: 托尼，这不行。如果你老是做这些与学习无关的事，你就没时间学习了。

托尼: 你的意思是不想让我去社区服务，不让我增加对世界的认知吗？

爸爸: 我不是这个意思。但你要权衡哪件事情最重要。我不想让你考试不及格。

托尼: 但是……

爸爸: 没完成家庭作业之前,你什么也不能干。我很抱歉,但这是我的最终决定 。
