The story

工作人员：上午好！请给我看一下儿你们的票。Good morning! Please show me your tickets.

工作人员：火车上午九点开，晚上七点到成都。The train leaves at nine a.m. and gets to Chengdu at seven p.m.

小雨：我们白天都在火车上！大卫，你怎么了？We'll be on the train all day! David, what's wrong?

大卫：我想家了。I'm homesick.

小雨：想家？我们现在就回家！Homesick? We're going home right now!

大卫：不是成都的家。是美国的家。我想我妈妈。Not the Chengdu home. My home in America. I miss my mom.

大卫：喂？喂？……终于！妈妈，你好！Hello? Hello? ...Finally! Hi, Mom!

妈妈：大卫？你那儿是白天，我这儿是晚上！David? It's daytime where you are — it's night here!
