Mom is waiting in the check-out aisle
Mom: What is with you guys? I've been waiting for twenty minutes. I almost put an announcement out!
Sam: Ummm...we were in the express lane. We thought it would be faster.
Mom: But the express line is only for people with ten items or less. And what's with all this new candy in the cart?
Sam: Umm... umm.... That all just, umm... fell in there. Right, Kim? [Sam and Kim's faces turn red]
Mom: There's already too much chocolate in there, and you keep grabbing stuff in the check-out aisle. Sheesh.

妈妈在结帐走道等
妈妈：你们是怎么了啊？我已经等了二十分钟了，差点要去广播找人了！
山姆：嗯……我们跑去快速结帐道了。我们以为会比较快。
妈妈：但是快速结帐道是给买十件以内物品的人用的。推车里这堆新跑出来的糖果是怎么回事？
山姆：嗯……嗯……都是不小心就掉进来的，对吧，金咪？（山姆和金咪开始脸红）
妈妈：巧克力了已经够多了，你们还在结帐区一直拿东西，真是的。
重点解说：
★ What is with you 你到底是怎么了？你在搞什么？
★ announcement (n.) 广播通知
★ express lane (n.) 快速结帐道，express (a.) 快速的。通常超市或大卖场会设置快速结帐口，提供购买较少商品的顾客结帐，以节省等待时间 | |

Most young couples with children struggle with the issue of childcare. Mothers have traditionally stayed home with their children. In recent years, though, a growing trend is to put preschoolers in a day care center so Mom can work. Many Americans have strong feelings about which type of arrangement is best. Some argue that attending a day care center can be a positive experience for children. Others insist that mothers are the best caregivers for children.
大部份有孩子的年轻夫妻们都为了养育孩子的问题而大伤脑筋。传统上，母亲们会和孩子待在家里，但是近几年来，把孩子放在幼儿园好让妈妈去工作的趋势渐长。对于哪一种安排才是最好的，许多美国人都有自己强烈的主张，有些人认为进幼儿园对孩子而言是很正向的经历，另一群人则坚持母亲是照顾孩子的最佳人选。
