“告诉我,你的妈妈是从村里的商店买到药的吗?”
'Yes.My mother usually took a sleeping tablet every night so she needed a lot of tablets.Sometimes she got them from the shop,sometimes I did.On Thursday,I asked Peter Hobbs to get them.He lives in the house across the road,and he of-ten goes to the village on his bicycle.'
“对。妈妈通常每晚都要服一片安眠药,所以她要许多药片。有时她去商店买,有时是我去。周四我请彼特·霍布斯去买。他住在马路对面的那幢房子,他经常骑自行车去村里。”
'I see.Your mother wanted to stay in this house.How about you?Did you want to move?'
“明白了。你母亲想留在这幢房子里。你呢?你想搬家吗?”
