生活随笔 Life Essays

吃过午饭，孩子午休起来上了学，女人收拾好碗筷冲洗干净，整理好厨房，看着剩的饭菜还够一个人吃，不由地哼起了歌。孩子走时叮嘱说晚饭不吃，女人的歌声更加响亮。看着被拖的锃亮锃亮的地板，也好像在对她微笑。

After lunch, the child got up from lunch break and went to school. The woman tidied up the dishes, washed them clean, tidied up the kitchen, and watched as there was enough leftover food to eat alone. She couldn't help but hum a song. When the child left, she reminded her not to eat dinner, and the woman's singing became even louder. Looking at the shiny floor being dragged, it seemed like I was smiling at her.

接着的这五六个小时，女人就可以爽爽快快地渡过了。她准备先读两三个小时的书，然后再改改稿子，打会儿牌，聊聊天，看会儿电视。差不多就到最后去接八年级的孩子放学回家的时候了。

The next five or six hours will be spent by the woman happily. She plans to read a book for two to three hours first, then revise the manuscript, play cards for a while, chat, and watch TV for a while. It's almost time to pick up the eighth grade child from school and go home.

女人很爱孩子，孩子说晚上不用她接，可是女人不放心。她之所以去接孩子，一是因为晚上八点十分才放学，二是因为她长时间接孩子时认识了一些'家长朋友'，她想要见他们。她喜欢听他们聊一些孩子学校里发生的事情，这样就可以更好地了解自家孩子，和孩子在一起时谈论的话题也多。三是每次孩子出校门时，都会和她一路边走边说学校里发生的事情，她很喜欢听孩子说这些。

Women love their children very much, and they say they don't need to pick them up at night, but women are not at ease. The reason why she went to pick up her child is twofold: firstly, she didn't finish school until 8:10 pm, and secondly, she met some "parents and friends" when picking up her child for a long time, and she wanted to see them. She likes to listen to them talk about things that happened in her child's school, so that she can better understand her own children and discuss more topics with them. Thirdly, every time the child leaves the school gate, they will walk along the side of the road and talk about what happened in the school. She really enjoys listening to the child talk about these things.
