Tom and Pat are talking about counting.
汤姆和佩特正在谈论数数。
Tom
You are really good at counting, Pat. Can you teach me? I’m not very good yet.
Pat
You are not very good because you don’t listen to the teacher. You are always naughty in the classroom. That’s why the teacher always gets angry with you.
Tom
I know. I’m naughty at home, too. Yesterday, my mommy got really angry with me. I had to go to bed without eating my dinner.
Pat
Really? Well, that will teach you not to be naughty.
Tom
Go on, Pat! Teach me to count. Just teach me a little.
Pat
All right. Go and look at all the erasers on the children’s tables. How many are there?
Tom
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. There are fifteen erasers.
Pat
That’s right. And how many is fifteen and one?
Tom
Fifteen and one? Fifteen and one is sixteen.
Pat
That’s right. And how many is sixteen and one?
Tom
Sixteen and one? I don’t know. Can you tell me?
Pat
Sixteen and one is seventeen. Now, how many is seventeen and one?
Tom
I don’t know.
Pat
Seventeen and one is eighteen. Now Tom, count from twelve to eighteen.
Tom
All right. Twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen. That’s right, isn’t it? Can we stop now – I’m getting tired.
Pat
What? You’re tired already? Oh, you are difficult to teach, aren’t you?
Tom
Am I?
Pat
Yes. You don’t really want to learn. Don’t ask me to help you again! I’m not interested in helping someone who doesn’t really want to learn.
汤姆
你真的很擅长数数，佩特。你能教教我吗？我还不是很擅长。
佩特
你还数得不是很好是因为你没有听老师讲。你在教室里总是很淘气。那就是为什么老师总是对你生气。
汤姆
我知道。我在家里也很淘气。昨天，我妈妈真的对我生气了。我不得不饿着肚子睡觉。
佩特
真的？好吧，那会让你不那么淘气。
汤姆
继续，佩特！教我数数。就教我一点吧。
佩特
好吧。去看看孩子们桌子上所有的橡皮擦。有多少橡皮擦？
汤姆
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15。有15个橡皮擦。
佩特
没错。15加1是多少？
汤姆
15加1？15加1是16。
佩特
没错。16加1是多少？
汤姆
16加1？我不知道。你能告诉我吗？
佩特
16加1是17。现在，17加1是多少？
汤姆
我不知道。
佩特
17加1是18。现在，汤姆，从12数到18。
汤姆
好吧。12,13,14,15,16,17,18。没错吧？我们能停一下吗——我累了。
佩特
什么？你这就累了？噢，你太难教了，是吧？
汤姆
是吗？
佩特
是的，你真的不想学习。别让我再帮助你了！我不想帮那些不想学习的人。
