 　　Dinner with Maria's Mother和玛丽亚的母亲吃饭

　　Maria was cooking roast beef with mashed potatoes. Mike arrived home with Maria's mother Janet, and immediately recognized what was being cooked in the kitchen. Mike walked in through the door in high spirits. "Maria, we're home!" he yelled merrily. Janet walked in behind him and took a seat in the couch. All of a sudden, the house cat hopped on the couch next to Janet.

　　玛丽亚正在做烤牛肉配土豆泥。迈克和玛丽亚的母亲珍妮特到家后，立刻闻出厨房里在煮什么。迈克兴高采烈地走进门。“玛丽亚，我们回来了！”他大声地说。珍妮特走在他后面，坐在沙发上。突然，家里的猫跳到了沙发上，在珍妮特的旁边。

　　The cat noticed the new guest and rubbed himself on Janet's lap. "Who is this little guy?" Janet asked as she petted the cat across its back. The cat purred and enjoyed the attention Janet gave him. "His name is Tiger. I think he likes you," responded Mike. Tiger sat on Janet's lap and continued to purr as Janet scratched his ear. Mike smiled at their interaction. He then left Janet and the cat alone in the living-room, and walked into the kitchen where Maria was cooking dinner.

　　猫注意到新的客人，然后在珍妮特的身上蹭了蹭。“这个小家伙是谁？”珍妮特在她把猫放在迈克身后的时候问道。猫的呼噜和开心的珍妮特引起了他的注意。“他的名字叫老虎，我觉得他喜欢你。”迈克回答说。老虎坐在珍妮特的大腿上，继续呜呜叫，珍妮特搔了搔耳朵。迈克看到笑了笑，然后他去了厨房，让珍妮特和猫独自在客厅，玛丽亚正在做饭。

　　The food smelled even more delicious as soon as Mike stepped inside the room. "Hey Mike, the food will be ready in a few hours," she said. Mike sat down at the kitchen table and let out a loud sigh. "Your mother is exhausting to be around," he said to Maria. Maria stopped what she was doing and walked over to where Mike was sitting. She kneeled herself down a little, and gave Mike a kiss on the forehead.

　　在麦克走进的时候，闻到了越来越浓的香味。“嘿，迈克，几个小时后饭就准备好了。”她说。迈克坐在厨房的桌子上，发出一声叹息。”跟你妈妈后面累了一天了。”他对玛丽亚说。玛丽亚停下手里的工作，走到迈克坐的那里。她跪下来一点，在迈克的额头上吻了一下。

　　She reminded him that she was only staying for a few days, and that they soon will alone again. Mike found comfort in Maria's words. Dinner was served a few hours later. Mike, Maria, and Janet sat down to eat an American meal. Maria even had some left-over apple pie from a few days ago. Conversation soon began.

　　她提醒他，她只是呆了几天，他们很快就会独自相处了。迈克在玛利亚的话中得到安慰，几小时后，晚餐做好了。迈克，玛丽亚和珍妮坐下来吃西餐。玛丽亚甚至还把前几天剩下的苹果用来做成了馅饼。谈话很快开始了。
