“汤姆!过来!”一位父亲用权威的语气对儿子说。男孩正在玩耍。他向父亲望去,但没有离开伙伴们。“你听到我说话了吗,先生?”父亲说道,语气比起先更严厉。男孩一脸不快,勉强拖着脚步离开他玩耍的地方,走近父亲。“你为什么和蜗牛爬一样慢?”他的父亲生气地说,“快点过来,我要你来有事。我说话时,希望你立刻服从。过来,把这个条子送给史密斯 ”Tom! Come!“ said a father to his son in an authoritative tone. The boy is playing. He looked at his father but he did not leave his partner. ”Did you hear me talking, sir?“ said his father, his tone harsher than before. The boy looked unhappily, struggling to leave his playing area, and approached his father. ”Why are you as slow as a snail?“ his father said angrily, ”Come on, I want you to be there. When I speak, I hope you obey immediately. Come over and give this sliver to Smith."
