翻译下方 Act one
Mom and Dad arrive back from vacation a day earlier than expected. The curtains are closed and the living
room is dark when Mom and Dad enter.
Dad: It’s so nice to be home!
Mom: Yes, I can’t wait to surprise the boys!
Suddenly a door opens and a soccer ball flies through the room. Eric runs in after it, followed by a big dog,
walking very slowly.
Eric: Mom! Dad! You’re back early! (looking around room, sounding frightened) But, but
---
you weren’t supposed to
come home until tomorrow!
The dog slowly walks to Mom and Dad.
Mom: (Bending to touch dog) Eric, he’s so tired and hungry! (looking at table) The money
for dog food is gone, but
Spot looks like he is starving! What did you do with the cash we left?
Dad: And look at this room
—
garbage all over the place! Where is your brother? (shouting angrily) Daniel!
Daniel: (running into room) Mom, Dad, I can explain---
Dad opens the curtains and light comes into the room. The room is in a mess, with pizza boxes on the floor
and dirty dishes in the sink. In the corner, there is a garbage can around which are pieces of garbage and waste
paper.
Mom and Dad both turn towards Daniel.
Dad: (sounding very angry) listen to me, young man----we left you in charge? We thought you could act like an
a
dult! I don’t know the reason why the house is so dirty
---
Mom: Daniel, we thought you were an adult, a person from whom we could expect good decisions.
Dad: How can we trust you any more? We won
’
t tolerate such behavior in our family!
Daniel: ( shouting)
Stop shouting at me. I’m still a teenager! Why is everything always my fault?
Daniel runs into his bedroom and slams the door. Mom and Dad look at each other as lights go out.
Act two, scene one
Daniel and Eric’s bedroom. Eric sits on his bed
. Daniel has his arms crossed and looks angry.
Daniel: They never even gave me a chance to explain. I hate them!
Eric: You don’t hate them. I can tell them
we had an emergency
. Then they won’t be mad anymore.
Daniel: No, don’t tell them anything. A
nyhow t
hey didn’t trust me. They don’t deserve
an explanation. Let them
think what they want.
Eric: But Daniel, if they knew that Spot was sick and we used the money to take him to the clinic---
Daniel: And that we spent all of yesterday waiting there for him and that is why we had no time to clean the
house --- but no,
Eric, why didn’t they ask me what happened instead of shouting at me?
Act two, scene two
Mom: Do you think we were too hard on Daniel? Perhaps
there is a reason why the house is a mess…
Dad: Maybe, but no
w that he has been so rude to us, I feel like we have to punish him or he won’t respect us.
Mom: Oh, why does this have to be so difficult?
End of act two. 第一幕一天比预期的要早一天一天从假期回来。当爸爸妈妈进来时，窗帘关上了，客厅里很黑。爸爸：回家太好了！妈妈：是啊，我迫不及待要给男孩们惊喜了！突然一扇门开了，一个足球球飞进了房间。在它后面跟着一条大狗，走得很慢。MOM：妈妈！爸爸你早回来！（环顾房间，听起来害怕），但---你不应该回家，直到明天！小狗慢慢地走到爸爸妈妈的。妈妈：（弯腰抚摸狗）埃里克，他太累了，饿了！（看表）狗食的钱不见了，但斑看起来像是饿了！我们离开时你做了什么？爸爸：看看这个房间，到处都是垃圾！你哥哥在哪里？（愤怒地喊）丹尼尔！丹尼尔：（跑进房里）妈妈，爸爸，我可以解释---爸爸打开窗帘和灯走进房间。房间里一片混乱，在地板上放着比萨盒，水槽里的脏盘子。在角落里，有一个垃圾可以左右，这是一件垃圾和废纸。爸爸妈妈都转向丹尼尔。爸爸：（听上去很生气）听我说，年轻人，我们是你的主管吗？我们以为你可以像成年人一样！我不知道为什么房子这么脏的原因---妈妈：丹尼尔，我们以为你是一个成年人，一个我们可以期待好的决定的人。爸爸：我们怎样才能相信你呢？我们不会容忍这种行为在我们的家庭里！丹尼尔：（喊）别喊我。我还是个十几岁的少年！为什么一切都是我的错？丹尼尔跑进自己的卧室，关上大门。妈妈和爸爸在灯光下看着对方。第二幕，现场一个丹尼尔和埃里克的卧室。埃里克坐在他的床上。丹尼尔双臂交叉，看起来很生气。丹尼尔：他们从来没有给我一个解释的机会。我恨他们！你不恨他们。我可以告诉他们我们有一个紧急情况。然后，他们不会疯了。丹尼尔：不，不要告诉他们任何事。总之他们不相信我。他们不应该得到一个解释。让他们想他们想要什么。埃里克：但丹尼尔，如果他们知道斑病和我们用那笔钱带他去诊所，丹尼尔：，我们花了所有的昨天在那儿等他和，为什么我们没有时间打扫房子，但没有，埃里克，为什么并没有他们问我发生了什么事，而是对我大喊大叫？第二幕，情景2：妈妈：你觉得我们对丹尼尔太难了吗？也许这是一个原因为什么房子是一个烂摊子……爸爸：也许，但现在，他一直对我们那么粗鲁无礼，我觉得像我们必须惩罚他，否则他不会尊重我们的。妈妈：哦，为什么这么难？行动结束。
