Conversación Familiar sobre el Maravilloso día de Escuela

How was your day at school, Lucy?

Mary
¿Cómo de fue hoy en la escuela Lucy?

It was great, Mom. I gave a presentation on Hillary Clinton in government class. Afterwards, my teacher paid me a
compliment.
Lucy
Fue genial mamá. Tuve una presentación sobre Hillary Clinton en la clase de gobierno. Después mi maestra me felicitó por mi
presentación.

What did she say?

Mary
¿Qué te dijo?

She said my presentation was head and shoulders above the others.

Lucy
Ella dijo que mi presentación estaba muy por encima de los demás.

Way to go!
Mary
¡Así se hace!

She also said I should go into politics, just like Hillary.

Lucy
Ella también dijo que debería entrar a la política tal como lo hizo Hillary.

Harr You're so gung ho about school. It drives me crazy.

y Estás tan emocionada por la escuela. Que eso me vuelve loco.

Harry, don't butt in! You're just jealous.

Mary
Harry, ¡no te metas! solo estás celoso.

Harr Right. You hit the nail on the head. I'm green with envy. 
y Es cierto, acertaste. Estoy verde de envidia.

Would you just shut up? You're on thin ice with me right now.
Mary
¿Podrías callarte? Estas en la cuerda floja conmigo ahora mismo.

Harr Oh no! Look at me. I'm shaking in my shoes!

y ¡Oh no!  mírame, ¡estoy temblando de miedo!
