Breakfast or lunch？
It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. ‘What a day!’ I thought. ‘It's raining again. ’ Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. ‘I've just arrived by train, ’ she said. ‘I'm coming to see you. ’ ‘But I'm still having breakfast, ’ I said. ‘What are you doing?’ she asked. ‘I'm having breakfast, ’ I repeated2.
‘Dear me, ’ she said. ‘Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!’
Notes on the text 课文注释
1 on Sundays，指每个星期日。星期几的前面用介词on。
2 What a day！多么糟糕的天气！这是一个省略的感叹句。完整的句子应该是What a day it is！英语中的感叹句常用what开头，后面紧跟一个名词或名词性短语(包括连系动词)，然后是主语和谓语，句尾用感叹号。
3 I'm coming to see you．在这句话中现在实行时用来表示近期按计划或安排要实行的动作。
4 Dear me！天哪！这也是一个感叹句。 参考译文
那是个星期天，而在星期天我是从来不早起的，有时我要一直躺到吃午饭的时候。上个星期天，我起得很晚。我望望窗外，外面一片昏暗。“鬼天气！”我想，“又下雨了。”正在这时，电话铃响了。是我姑母露西打来的。“我刚下火车，”她说，“我这就来看你。” “但我还在吃早饭，”我说。 “你在干什么？”她问道。
“我正在吃早饭，”我又说了一遍。
“天啊，”她说，“你总是起得这么晚吗？现在已经1点钟了！”
