So, how's mom? Is she okay? I heard she bought a new TV. That's great! Yes, she's fine. She bought a bigger TV.

  You know she likes watching sub operas（歌剧）. Yeah, I know. I remember we used to watch TV together in the living（生活） room. And how are you? How's your work going? Did you get that pay（ 工资） raise（高地） you were telling（ 告诉） me about?

  Yeah, happily（快乐地） they gave it to me. We celebrated（庆祝） in the office and also at home with mom and the rest（休息）. Oh, really? Why didn't you tell me anything? I would have liked to be there. Really?

  You didn't used to go to our meetings, so that's why I didn't tell you anything. Yeah, well, some things can change. Why don't you sit down? No, thank you. I just came to visit you for a moment. I have to go home to wash clothes.

  Tomorrow is Monday and I don't have clean shirts. Well, I guess I'll see you later. No, wait. Sit down, brother. Let's drink something. I have lemonade（柠檬水）, coke（焦炭）, or we can cook something here.

  I have chicken, meat, eggs. Why don't you stay and we have lunch together? I can make a great barbecue（吃烤烧肉的野餐）. Are you serious（认真严肃的）? You never say something like that. I thought you were busy.

  I mean, you're always working（使工作） hard. That's what you told me the last time I invited（邀请） you to my birthday. Yes, I had to work hard to buy this house, you know, but I have some time now. Why don't you stay and we can use the pool? I have a swimming pool in my backyard（后院）. You are gonna love it.

  It's not very big, but it's beautiful. I haven't used it yet（ 到目前为止）. Swimming pool? I don't think so. I didn't bring my swimsuit（(女)游泳衣）. Sorry.

  Don't worry（ 担忧） about that. I have some shorts and my closet（ 壁橱）. You can take some if you want. Hmm, I don't think so. I really have to go. Well, take care（小心）.

  No, wait.
