常春藤生活英语【101】Not Quite the Same(在线收听) |
One afternoon while I was in the middle of my favorite TV show, I heard my mother calling me in the kitchen. I got up from the sofa reluctantly and went to see what was going on. She was baking a cake and had just run out of sugar, so she wanted me to go buy her some. In order not to miss too much of the show, I quickly ran to the nearby grocery store, picked up a bag of sugar, paid for it, and rushed back home. Luckily, it only took me 10 minutes to do everything. Two hours later, my mom finished baking the cake. As soon as we took a bite, we both spat it out. It turned out that in a hurry, I bought a bag of salt by mistake. 某天下午,我最爱的电视节目正看到一半时,却听到我妈在厨房里叫我。我很不情愿地从沙发上爬起来,然后去看发生了什么事。原来她正在烤蛋糕,但糖却刚好用光了,所以她想叫我去帮她买点回来。 为了不要错过太多的节目内容,我很快地跑到附近的杂货店,拿了一包糖,付了钱,然后就冲回家。还好我只花了十分钟就把所有事情搞定。 两个小时后,我妈把蛋糕烤好了。我们俩才吃一口,就马上把它吐出来。原来我在仓促之间,误买了一包盐巴。 Building Your Vocabulary 1. reluctantly adv. 不愿地,勉强地 Phrases for Learning 1. be in the middle of + 名词∕动名词 ……做到一半;正忙着…… Tips In Use ...so she wanted me to go buy her some. |
