The whole family sits down to watch the seven o'clock news. The forecast warns of a weather change, and a report about a morning accident at the intersection the boy crosses daily turns the talk to safety and tomorrow's rain.
It's Seven O'Clock
电视里响起了熟悉的音乐,七点的开始了。
The familiar music struck up on the TV, and the seven o'clock news began.
Dad
小宇,别玩手机了,过来坐。
Xiao Yu, put the phone down and come sit over here.
Xiao Yu
来啦来啦,今天有什么好看的呀?
Coming, coming! What's worth watching today, Dad?
Dad
你听,主持人说明天有。
Listen—the anchor says the weather's going to change tomorrow.
Mom
嘘,我听听。
Shh, let me hear this.
A Bit of Morning News
Mom
哎,你们看,早上城东出了一个。
Oh, look at this—there was a traffic accident at the east-side intersection this morning.
Xiao Yu
城东?那不是我每天上学要过的那个吗?
The east side? Isn't that the very intersection I cross every day on my way to school?
Mom
对呀,所以我才让你看。
That's right—that's why I wanted you to see it.
Xiao Yu
有人了吗?
Did anyone get hurt?
Dad
幸好只是车撞坏了,人没什么事。
Luckily only the cars were wrecked—nobody was hurt.
Remember to Leave Early Tomorrow
Mom
那个车多,你过的时候别看手机。
There's a lot of traffic at that intersection—don't look at your phone while you cross.
Xiao Yu
知道啦,我看才走,不急的。
I know, I know—I only go when the light's green. There's no rush.
Dad
再说明天可能下大雨,路上更慢。
Besides, it might pour tomorrow, so the roads will be even slower.
Mom
那明天早十分钟出门,伞我帮你放包里了。
Then leave ten minutes earlier tomorrow—I've already tucked an umbrella in your bag.
Xiao Yu
好嘞,妈你想得真。
Got it—you really think of everything, Mom.
