Mom: Put on these pants and this shirt, come over here, and stand still. I need to alter your brother’s clothes to fit you.
妈妈：穿上这条裤子和衬衫，过来站好。我得帮你改一下你哥哥的衣服。
Sa’ad: Oh, Mom!
萨阿德：哦，妈妈！
Mom: Hurry up. I need to let down the hems and take up the sleeves. I don’t think I have to take in the pant legs, but I might have to let out the waist a little.
妈妈：快点。我得把衣角放下来再把袖子收一下。裤腿的话应该不用改短了，但是腰围得稍微改松一点。
Sa’ad: Ouch!
萨阿德：哎呦！
Mom: Sorry, but you need to stop moving around or your hem will be uneven and your seams will be crooked. You and your brothers are growing so fast I feel like a full-time tailor!
妈妈：抱歉，你不要再到处跑了，不然衣褶儿会不均匀，缝合线也会不平整。你跟你哥长得太快了，弄得我像个全职裁缝!
Sa’ad: Are we done?
萨阿德：好了吗？
Mom: No, we’re not. Stay right there. You can help me iron a crease into this shirt before I put it through the sewing machine.
妈妈：没，还没有。站在那边。用缝纫机缝合前你得帮我在衬衫上熨个褶。
Sa’ad: Oh, Mom!
萨阿德：哦，妈妈！
Mom: Don’t “Oh, Mom” me. This machine doesn’t seem to be working. I hope I don’t have to stitch all these by hand.
妈妈：不要这样叫我。这缝纫机不好用了。但愿不要让我手工来改这些衣服。
Sa’ad: Mom, since I’m growing so fast, I’ll probably grow out of these clothes in a couple of months. Let’s wait until after my growth spurt to alter them.
萨阿德：妈妈，我长得很快，几个月以后我可能都穿不了这些衣服了。等我长大咱们再改这些衣服吧。
Mom: And what will you wear in the meantime, high waters?
妈妈：那在此期间你穿什么啊，超短裤？
Sa’ad: No, shorts!
萨阿德：不，短裤！
