【故事梗概】
在医院里，四个孩子刚做完手术，还不能说话。他们疼痛难受，兴致不高。Molly在逐一开导安慰他们，并承诺晚饭会有他们喜欢的口味的冰淇淋。
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.
1. Only one day, and it won't hurt as much.只要过一天，就不会这么疼了。as much: 同样的，同样程度的，同样多的。表示与某种以前的事一样多、严重、厉害等。2. Do you feel like eating?你想吃东西吗？feel like doing something: 想要，想做。3. Having some dinner? 想吃晚饭吗？这是”Do you feel like having some dinner?”的缩略。4. OK, honey, we'll see to it that you have strawberry and vanilla ice cream.好，亲爱的，我们一定让你吃到草莓冰淇淋和香草冰淇淋。see to it that…: 是负责保证或管好某事。5. Oh, come on now. You're a big boy. 噢，别这样了。你是个大孩子了。come on: 别这样了。相当于”stop acting like that”You're a big boy.: 你是个大孩子了（不该这样耍小孩子脾气）。6. It doesn't hurt that much, does it?疼得并不那么历害，是吧？that much 中的 that是副词，表示较大的程度，常用于疑问或否定的意思。如:Your joke isn't that funny.（你的笑话并不那么可笑。）I don't have that many books.（我没有像人们想的那么多书。）7. Three scoops of chocolate ice cream for Tim coming up. Tim的三勺巧克力冰淇淋马上就到。这是Molly在模仿小饭店侍者常用的口吻。coming up: 很快就拿来，马上送到。这是一个在非正式场合使用的短语，用于当你要帮别人盛食物或饮料时。

Molly: Hi, Carl. How you doing? I know it hurts. But it'll be better tomorrow. In the meantime, what would you like?Molly: A surprise? I promised you a surprise, didn't I? And it wasn't just ice cream, was it? Your birthday is tomorrow, isn't it? [He nods.]Molly: Well, maybe, just maybe, there will be surprise. But first you have to smile. I just want to see one smile from you. No smile, no surprise. That's the deal. No smile, no surprise. If you want a surprise, then you've got to smile first. [Carl finally smiles.]Molly: How you all doing? Well, I'm glad you're feeling better because we have a little surprise for you today. It's Carl's birthday, and we have Popo the Clown to entertain you. And here he is -- Popo the Clown.Philip: Happy birthday, Carl. Happy birthday. All right, everybody. OK, Carl. It's your birthday.
