SUSAN: Can't you come in and have tea now, Peter?
PETER: Not yet.
I must water the garden first.

PETER: I'm afraid I must.
Look at it!
It's terribly dry.
SUSAN: What a nuisance!
PETER: Last summer it was very dry, too.
Don't you remember?
I had to water it every day.
SUSAN: Well, I'll have tea by myself.
SUSAN: That was quick!
Have you finished already?
PETER: Yes.
Look out of the window.
SUSAN: It's raining!
That means
You don't need to water the garden.
PERTR: That was a pleasant surprise.
It means I can have tea, instead.

参考译文
苏珊：彼得，你现在能进来喝茶吗？
彼得：还不能。我得先给花园浇水。
苏珊：你一定得现在浇吗？
彼得：恐怕我得现在浇。你看看，干得厉害。
苏珊：真讨厌！
彼得：去年夏天也是干得很。
你记得了吗？我不得不每天浇水。
苏珊：好吧，我一个喝茶了。
苏珊：好快啊！你已经浇完了？
彼得：是的。你看看窗外。
苏珊：下雨了，这就是就是说，你不必给花园浇水了。
彼得：这是意想不能的好事。
这意味着我反倒可以喝茶了。
