地道美语听力练习:操练属于自己的军队

Marta:What's going on out here? What's all that noise?

Bruno:I'm putting the troops through their drills.

Marta:Troops?!

Bruno:Watch this. Hey, I didn't tell you you could be at ease. Attention! Fall in. Forward, march!

Marta:That's great, but . . .

Bruno:I'm not done. Let me show you what else these troops can do. Halt! About face!

Marta:Don't you think that it's time to...?

Bruno:March, march! Double time!

Child:Wah!

Marta:Come here. Did you fall down and hurt yourself?

It's okay. Everything's going to be okay.

Bruno:Hey, there's no crying in the military. Don't coddle the troops, Marta.

Marta:Bruno, your twins are five years old.

Don't you think they're a little too young to be going to boot camp?

Bruno:No, it's never too young to instill discipline.

Okay troops, fall in. Mark time! Now march, march, march .
