美语会话 291 回去做每日的工作
Johnny:You know-sweeping, scrubbing, washing, drying, waxing, polishing...
Steve:Wow, your grandma's really having a field day with you, huh?
Johnny:You got that right...and my mom's still mad about what we did with the dishes.
Steve:You have all the fun, don't you?
Johnny:Listen, I'd better get back to the grindstone.
Steve:Sure thing, Johnny. Watch out for dishpan hands there, kid!
grindstone (n.)

三天后
史帝： 最近都在忙什么啊，强尼?
强尼： 你知道的——扫地、刷洗、清洗、烘干、打蜡、磨光……
史帝： 哇，你奶奶跟你挺忙的嘛?
强尼： 你说的没错……而我妈还在气我们丢掉碗盘的事。
史帝： 你还真是不亦乐乎啊，不是吗?
强尼： 听着，我最好回去工作了。
史帝： 没错，强尼。小心别得富贵手啊，小子!
