又是周一了，睁开眼睛、从床上爬起来是不是很困难啊？不管怎样都得上班。这个起床的经历可是够痛苦的。叫别人起床也是一样的痛苦。不信？就来看一看吧！
A: Wake up, Joe. It's seven o'clock. If you're going to work you'll have to get up now. Hey, Joe. Wake up.
乔，快醒醒。七点钟了。如果你要上班，现在该起床了。喂，乔，醒醒。
B: Mmmmmmmm.
嗯……
A: Joe. Get up.
乔，快起床。
B: Is it seven o'clock already?
真是七点了吗？
A: Yes. It's seven.
是七点了。
B: Well, wake me up in twenty minutes. I decided to catch the late bus.
好吧，过二十分钟再叫我，我决定搭晚一班的公共汽车。
A: Uh, uh...you told me last night not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time. So, get up.
啊……昨天晚上你还告诉我，不要让你任性，务必叫你按时起床。还是起来吧。
B: Okay, okay, stop yelling. I'm up.
好吧，好吧，别嚷嚷了。我起床了。
Notes:
1. wake up 醒来
2. argue sb. out of dissuade, or persuade someone not to do something 课文中的you told me last night not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time 的意思是：昨晚你还告诉我。不要让你任性，务必叫你按时起床。
3. stop yelling 别嚷嚷了（美国青年常用语）
