May: Oh, Mom, do you know where the liquid soap is?

Mom: Right here, in that beautiful bottle. Push the button, you'll get it.

May: Oh, Mom, you can use the wipe. It smells sweet.

Mom: That's OK. I prefer the hand-dryer. Oh, where is the switch?

May: Oh, no, it has the infrared¹ sensor²; you just need to put your hands under the air outlet³.

Mom: It does not work.

May: Really? Oh, indeed. You have to try this wipe.

Mom: That's OK.

May: Oh, Mom, have a look at the painting on that wall. I drew a same picture by myself last week.

Mom: Is that one of your works?

May: Are you kidding? That painting is much better than mine.

Mom: Oh, honey, you are the best in my eyes.

May: Thanks. Do you read the jokes on the wall?

Mom: Oh, I see them. They're funny.

May: I want to have something like that in our bathroom.

Mom: That's a good idea!

阿美：噢，妈妈，洗手液在哪里啊？

妈妈：就在这里啊，在那个漂亮的 瓶子里。按那个按钮，就出来了。

阿美：噢，妈妈，你可以用纸巾，闻着好香啊。

妈妈：不要紧。我用干手器。噢，开关在哪里呢？

阿美：噢，不是，那是红外线感应的，你把手放到出风口就行了。

妈妈：没反应啊。

阿美：是吗？噢，的确。你得用这纸巾了。

妈妈：好吧。

阿美：妈妈，看墙上的油画。我上个星期自己画了一张一样的。

妈妈：那是你的作品吗？

阿美：开什么玩笑啊？那油画比我画得好多了。

妈妈：噢，亲爱的，在我眼里你是最棒的。

阿美：谢谢。你看到墙上的笑话了没？

妈妈：我看到了，挺有意思的。

阿美：我想在我们自己的洗手间里也弄点那样的东西。

妈妈：好主意噢！
