又是周一了，睁开眼睛、从床上爬起来是不是很困难啊？不管怎样都得上班。这个起床的经历可是够痛苦的。叫别人起床也是一样的痛苦。不信？就来看一看吧！

A: Wake up, Joe. It's seven o'clock. If you're going to work you'll have to get up now. Hey, Joe. Wake up.
乔，快醒醒。七点钟了。如果你要上班，现在该起床了。喂，乔，醒醒。

B: Mmmmmmmm.
嗯……

A: Joe. Get up.
乔，快起床。

B: Is it seven o'clock already?
真是七点了吗？

A: Yes. It's seven.
是七点了。

B: Well, wake me up in twenty minutes. I decided¹ to catch the late bus.
好吧，过二十分钟再叫我，我决定搭晚一班的公共汽车。

A: Uh, uh...you told me last night not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time. So, get up.
啊……昨天晚上你还告诉我，不要让你任性，务必叫你按时起床。还是起来吧。

B: Okay, okay, stop yelling. I'm up.

2. argue sb. out of dissuade², or persuade someone not to do something 课文中的you told me last night not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time 的意思是：昨晚你还告诉我。不要让你任性，务必叫你按时起床。

3. stop yelling 别嚷嚷了（美国青年常用语）
