【英语时差8,16】麦克和亚曼达正在聊取得父母同意

（单词翻译）

 Amanda: Have you asked your parents for permission to go to the concert? Mike: No, I have not, because I have a feeling that they are going to say "No". Amanda: Why? Our music teacher will give us extra credit if we write a report on the performance. You should go to them as soon as possible. Do not forget, you need to purchase your ticket before the concert is sold-out. Mike: But the concert is from 8 to 10 on a school night. My curfew for school nights is 9 o'clock. My parents have never made an exception to my curfew on a school night. Amanda: Tell your parents that the performer is a renowned¹ soprano who seldom tours. The last time she took the stage in Taiwan was five years ago. Who knows if and when she is coming back? Mike: There is also the issue of the ticket. I have spent all of my allowance² for this month. I would need an advance on next month's allowance. Amanda: My goodness! Maybe you can offer to do more chores around the house for some extra cash? Mike: I can give it a try. Wish me luck? Amanda: Break a leg.
