Dad: Daniel, have you finished your homework?

Daniel: Not yet, Dad. I am watching Ultraman instead.

(Father gets angry and turns off the TV.)

Daniel: No, no, Dad. Please. This program is on only once a week.

Dad: Daniel, as a matter of fact, TV is bad for your health.

Daniel: What makes you think that?

Dad: It's full of violence and you are so young.

Daniel: But there are cartoons on TV. Bees, big trees, seas, and a lot of other interesting things.

Dad: Wait. What's the time, honey?

Daniel: About 6:00.

Dad: It's homework time now. Go and do your homework and then go to bed.

(Father turns on the TV)

Dad: (murmur)American Idol, There you go.

Daniel: Dad, it's not fair. I am so disappointed with you!

爸爸：丹尼尔，你完成作业了吗？

丹尼尔：还没呢，爸爸。我正在看《奥特曼》。

（父亲生气了，把电视关了。）

丹尼尔：不，爸爸，求求您了。这个节目一个星期才放一次的。

爸爸：丹尼尔，事实上，电视不利于你的健康。

丹尼尔：您怎么会这样想呢？

爸爸：电视上充满着暴力行为，而你太小了。

丹尼尔：但是电视上还有卡通片啊。蜜蜂，大树，大海，还有其他很多有趣的东西。

爸爸：等等。现在几点了，亲爱的？

丹尼尔：大概6：00了。

爸爸：现在是家庭作业时间。去做作业，然后上床睡觉。

（爸爸打开了电视）

爸爸：（自言自语）《美国偶像》来了！

丹尼尔：爸爸，不公平。我对你太失望了！
