前绘本导读：
睡前听绘本有助于提高孩子的理解力、想象力和逻辑思维能力，对大脑的发育很有帮助。对于英文睡前故事，家长们不必纠结孩子能否听懂单词或者大段的句子，优秀的语言环境能够帮助孩子建立英文语感，提高对英文的反应速度，减少对中文解释的依赖。
“Dinner’s almost ready,” said Mom. “Come and help me set the table.”
“I’ll do the plates,” said Tex.
“I’ll do the napkins and forks,” said Indi.
“OK, then I’ll get the water,” said Arizona.
“晚餐快做好了”，妈妈说，“过来帮我整理下餐桌”。
“我来摆盘子”，特克斯说。
“我来放刀叉”，英迪说。
“好的，那我来倒水”，亚利桑那说。
Dad patted his stomach and said, “This is my favorite part of the whole day!”
“You mean the eating-dinner part?” asked Tex.
“I mean the eating-dinner-with-you-guys part!” said Dad.
“I agree,” said Mom. “It’s great when the whole family can be together for dinner.”
爸爸拍了拍肚子，说：“这是一天当中我最喜欢的时候！”
“是指吃晚饭吗？”特克斯问。
“我是指跟你们一起吃晚饭！”爸爸说。
“我也这么认为”，妈妈说。“最棒的就是全家人一起吃饭。”
“Wait,” said Indi. “May I please be excused for a minute?”
“Hmm,” Mom said. “I guess so.”

“等等”，英迪说。“能等我一分钟吗？”
“唔”，妈妈说，“我想是可以的”。
英迪小心翼翼地把一只昏昏欲睡的小猫从回收篮里慢慢挪到她的餐椅上。
“Well, well,” said Dad. “It looks as if we have a furry little dinner guest.”
“Cow’s not a guest,” said Indi. “He’s family!”
“Indi’s right,” said Tex. “Now the whole family really is together!”
“好吧，好吧”，爸爸说。“这看起来就像我们有一位毛绒绒的小客人。”
“卡尔不是客人”，英迪说。“他是家庭成员！”
“英迪说的对”，特克斯说。“现在才是全家人在一起吃饭啦！”
