As the mother of three small children born two years apart, I'm often very tired in the evening. Their father and I have set strict rules that after stories，prayers, one drink and the bathroom scene，they must go to bed and stay there.
作為一個(gè)每隔兩年生一個(gè)小孩，現(xiàn)已是三個(gè)小孩的母親，我到晚止時(shí)常感列精疲力盡。他們的父親和我給孩子們訂下嚴(yán)格的規(guī)定:講完故事、祈禱、喝水、上廁所之后，他們必須馬上上床睡覺。不許再干別的事。
One night，after a particularly trying day，all three were finally tucked in and I headed to the kitchen for some cookies，milk and solitude. I had just started to relax when I was surrounded by three little people，standing there watching me eat. Turning to their father I asked，"Do we relent or stick with the rules?"
一天晚上，經(jīng)過了一番努力，三個(gè)孩子終于鉆進(jìn)了被窩。我來到了廚房想吃點(diǎn)餅干，喝點(diǎn)牛奶，獨(dú)自呆一會(huì)兒。我剛想放松一下，就被二個(gè)孩子團(tuán)團(tuán)圍住。他們站在那兒盯著我吃東西.我轉(zhuǎn)向他們的父親問:“我們還要不要遵守規(guī)定了?”
Our three-year-old piped up，”Stick with the rules,Mom. "
我們?nèi)龤q的小孩說:“媽媽，還是堅(jiān)持按規(guī)定做吧！”
Knowing she didn't really want to be sent back to bed,I asked，"And what are the rules，Mellisa?"
我知道她不想去睡覺，就問:“瑪麗莎，那么規(guī)定是怎么說的呢?”
"Share with one another,"she replied.
