Brother: Fine. What do you want me to do?
Sister: Could you take out the rubbish, fold the clothes and do the dishes?
Brother: So much?

Language points
1.Tony, could you please help out with a few things? 托尼，你能帮忙做几件事吗？
help out (with something) 是一个动词短语， 表示在某人繁忙或是遇到困难时“给予帮助”。
本单元中这句话：
You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house!
你老是看电视，从不帮忙干家务。
2. I think two hours of TV is enough for you!
我认为你看两个小时电视就足够了！
此处，two hours of TV虽为复数，但却表达一种整体的观念。英语语法规定，当时间、长度、距离或其他可数名词表示一个完整的整体概念作主语时，其后的谓语动词用单数形式。
Two months is quite a long time.
两个月是挺长的一段时间。
Thirty students is not a big number for a class.
30人对一个班来说算不上是大数目。
3. …because Mom will be back from shopping any minute now. …
因为妈妈随时都会买完东西回来。
any minute now 是一种常见口语表达，相当于“随时；马上；在任何时候”的意思，minute 还可替换为“second, moment, time”等。
e.g. We are expecting them any moment now.
我们期待他们随时到来。
4. And she won’t be happy if she sees this mess.
如果她看到这么乱会生气的。
mess意为“脏乱状态；凌乱状态”，一般用单数。
Your hair is a mess. 你头发很乱。
与mess搭配的常用短语有：in a mess, make a mess, clean up the mess 以及What a mess!
What a mess! Let’s clean it up!
好乱啊！咱们把它整理一下。
