英文原文:
Three days later
Lily:Mom, I'm ready for school.
Mom:Let me feel your forehead. I'm so glad it wasn't strep throat.
Lily:I don't have a fever, and I'm ready for my test.
Mom:But I'm not sure you're strong enough yet. Here's some seafood rice soup I made. It's delicious.
Lily:I'm fine, Mom. I feel so much better. I want to go to school. I'm missing out on all the fun.
Mom:But the last two days were a weekend.
Lily:Let me go to school, please! I'm sick of medicine, sick of soup, and sick of being sick!
参考译文:
三天之后
莉莉：妈，我准备好去上学了。
妈妈：让我摸摸你的额头。幸好这次不是链球菌感染。
莉莉：我没发烧，考试我也已经准备好了。
妈妈：但我不知道你的体力够不够。这里有一些我煮的海鲜米粒汤。很好吃喔。
莉莉：妈，我很好。我感觉好多了。我想去上学。我错过好多有趣的事。
妈妈：但前两天是周末啊。
莉莉：求求你让我上学！我受够了吃药、受够了喝汤、也受够了生病！
重点词汇:

我得了链球菌感染，别亲我。
miss out on...
错过（某件事）
I wouldn't want to miss out on that computer exhibition.
我不想错过那场计算机展。
be sick of...
