“不能，你只能告诉我是接受还是拒绝。因为我有太多的事要做，不能浪费时间。如果你不能下定决心，就永远也学不会如何赚钱。要知道，机会总是转瞬即逝，要想成功必须迅速作出决定。你看，现在你有一个你想要的机会，但这个赚钱学校可以在10秒钟内开学或者关门，那么你……。”迈克的爸爸微笑着看着我们，却并没有说下去。

"Take it," I said.

“接受。”我说。

"Take it," said Mike.

“接受。”迈克也说。

"Good," said Mike's dad. "Mrs. Martin will be by in ten minutes. After I'm through with her, you ride with her to my superette and you can begin working. I'll pay you 10 cents an hour and you will work for three hours every Saturday."

“好！”迈克的爸爸说道，“马丁夫人会在几分钟内到达。等我和她办完事后，你们跟她去我的杂货店，你们可以在那儿开始工作了。我每小时付给你们10美分，你们每周六来工作3个小时。”

"But I have a softball game today," I said.

“但我今天有一场棒球比赛！”我说。

Mike's dad lowered his voice to a stern tone. "Take it or leave it," he said.

迈克的爸爸降低声调严厉地说：“接受或者拒绝。”

"I'll take it," I replied, choosing to work and learn instead of playing softball.
