Hello! Good evening! 晚上好！ I’m so happy to see you. I’m Shuhua, and it’s almost time to say good night.
你好！晚上好！很开心能见到你。我是树华。快到了要说晚安的时候。


But first, I want to talk with you about dinner.
可是现在，我想跟你聊聊晚餐的事。


Dinner is the last meal of the day. If you eat anything after dinner, that's not a meal - that's a midnight snack!
晚餐时一天最后的一顿饭。如果晚饭以后还吃的话，那不叫一顿饭，那叫半夜小吃！


In the USA, a traditional family cares about dinner. It's the only time of the day when everyone is at the same table. In the morning, the parents might go to work before the kids go to school. At noon, everyone eats lunch in different places. But at dinner, the whole family comes together and spends some time at the dinner table.
在美国，传统家庭很看重晚餐。就是一天当中唯一大家都能坐在同一张桌子的时候。早上的时候，父母们去上班可能比孩子们去上学还要早。中午的时候，大家都在分开的地方吃饭。可是晚餐的时候，一家人可以在餐桌上一起分享一些时间。


Of course, not every family in the USA is like that. Some parents have to work at night, and some kids go to school too far away from home. Sometimes the family has no way to be together. Sometimes, if the family is not happy, they don't want to be together.
当然，不是每一个美国家庭都这样。有的父母要上夜班，有的孩子上学里家很远。有时候家庭没有办法聚在一起。有时候，家庭不开心的话就不想要在一起。


However, no matter who your family is, no matter when you go to work or go to school, it's always good to get together with the people you care about. Find a time, either every day or every week, when you can sit down and share some time together. After all, the best thing about dinner is not the food - it's the people you share it with.
可是，不管你的家人是谁，不管你是上班的还是上学的，找点时间陪你关心的人是好事。找点时间，每天或者每周，让大家一起来坐坐分享点时间。毕竟晚餐最好的方面不是你吃的东西，而是那些陪你吃的人。


What about you? How do you usually eat dinner?
你呢？你晚餐平时怎么吃的呢？


I want to know, but now it’s time to say good night.
我很想知道，可是现在就到了说晚安的时候。


So, good night!
所以，晚安！
