As I was telling（ 告诉） you son, I got an email from your mother. She says she's okay in Paris（巴黎（法国首都））. Yeah, okay（好） dad. You know what? I have to go now. Take care（小心）.

  Wait! Why are you in a hurry（ 匆忙）? Come here and sit down. Let's talk for a while. No, I can't. I have a lot of things to do dad.

  I have to go now. A lot of things to do. Yeah, I get it, but you haven't visited me in months. Why don't you stay for a moment and maybe then we can drink some beer. What do you say? Dad, I'm telling you I can't stay.

  I have to go to the bank and after that to the mall（商场）. To the bank? Don't tell me you asked for another loan（贷款）. Don't tell me son. Yes, of course. I had to do it because we had no money to pay for Mary's college.

  And after that I had to go to the mall to buy some books for Jamie. That's why I can't stay. I understand, but you don't look good. You look very worried（ 担心的）, stressed（着重）. I am worried and stressed that I have a lot of things to do. I told you that.

  Okay, relax. Take a little break and let's talk about your problems. Okay? Don't you understand? I can't. I have to go to the bank and then to the...

  Yeah, I heard you. To the bank and then to the mall. But we need to talk. So, that's what we'll do. Fine. What do you want to talk about?

  About mom? No, I want you to tell me about your problems. You're always running. What's happening? I don't know. I have to work（使工作） harder now that Mary is going to study at the college.

  Celia, my wife, also works full day and then we both arrive home very late and very tired. I'm so tired. I sleep only three hours a day. I feel tired and sleepy all the time. I got a second job.
