Hot Cocoa热巧克力英语短篇听力

 　　Hot Cocoa热巧克力

　　Mike was having a hard time sleeping one night. He tossed and turned in every direction. No matter how many times he tried, he could not find a comfortable position. Maria lied next to him and had a hard time going to sleep herself due to Mike's constant movement in bed. Mike tried everything to help go to sleep. Nothing seemed to work.

       迈克在晚上很难睡一个好觉，他翻来覆去，不管试了多少次，他都找不到舒服的姿势。玛丽亚睡在他的旁边，由于他翻来覆去的动静让她一时间也无法入眠。迈克想尽一切办法帮助睡眠，但似乎都没什么用。

　　The next day, Mike felt so tired during work. He had a hard time staying awake at his desk. His boss even noticed how tired he was and made a sly remark at him. "Mike, I'm paying you to work not to sleep," his boss said. Mike felt embarrassed hearing his boss's comment. He could not wait to go home and sleep.

       一天，迈克在工作的时候觉得太累了。坐在办公桌上的他总是感到很困。他的老板注意到了他的状态，就偷偷地对他说了一句话：“迈克，我请你是工作而不是睡觉的。”他的老板说。迈克听老板的话后觉得很不好意思，他迫不及待地赶回家补觉。

　　That same night, Mike lied in bed and had the same problem. Although he had taken a nap when he arrived back from work, he still had a hard time falling asleep at night. "What should I do, Maria?" he pleaded to his girlfriend. Maria suggested he make himself some hot cocoa. He asked Maria if she would mind making him some.

       当天晚上，迈克躺在床上，思考着一个问题。虽然他从工作中回来时只打了一个盹，但在晚上他仍然很难入睡。“我应该怎么办呢，玛丽亚？”他恳求他的女朋友。玛丽亚建议他和一些热巧克力。他问玛丽亚愿不愿意倒一杯给他。

　　Maria at first said no to his request. But after he started moving around again she got up and went to the kitchen. If Mike could not go to sleep, neither could she. She gasped in horror when she opened the kitchen cabinet to discover there's no more cocoa. She opened her fridge and there was no milk, either. She walked back into the bedroom and told Mike the bad news.

　　玛丽亚起初说没有答应他的请求，但在他开打算自己去的时候，她又起身去了厨房。如果迈克不能入睡，她也不能。她嫌弃地倒吸一口凉气，可打开橱柜时她发现没有热巧克力了。她又打开冰箱，牛奶也没有了。她走回卧室，告诉了他这个坏消息。
