Granny: Rise and shine, Faye. It's a beautiful new day. 起床啰，菲菲。这是个美丽而崭新的一天。 Faye: And you've been up since five o'clock. I know... 而且你五点就起床了。我知道…… Granny: Well, I made your favorite—biscuits and gravy. 嗯，我做了你最爱吃的——比司吉和肉汁酱。 Faye: I'm up. Mmmh...I can smell them... 我起床了。嗯……我闻到香味了…… Granny: I also wanted to give you this.

Faye: So I have to write everything down in this book? 所以我什么都要写在这本子里啰？ Granny: I call it the "budget book." Everything you earn or get goes under "Earnings." 我称它为‘收支记帐本’。每一项你赚取或得到的，都要记到‘收入栏’。 Faye: But I only get allowance. Does that count? 可是我得到的只有零用钱。那也算吗？ Granny: Yes, as an earning. And everything you need to spend money on is an expense. 是的，那是一项收入。而每一样你需要花钱的东西，都算是支出。 Faye: This is starting to sound like math class. 听起来开始像是在上数学课了。 Granny: But it's important if you want to be able to buy things like new Barbies. 但这是很重要的，如果你想要有能力买得起东西，譬如新的芭比娃娃。
