  A Family Rule 家规

  Mr. and Mrs. Jones very seldom go out in the evening, but last saturday, Mrs. Jones said to her husband, "There is a good film at the cinema tonight. Can we go and see it?"
  琼斯夫妇晚上很少出门，但上星期六，琼斯太太对丈夫说："电影院今晚有场好电影，我们去看好吗？"

  Mr. Jones was quite happy about it, so they went, and both of them enjoyed the film. 
  琼斯先生很乐意，于是他们就去了。两个人都喜欢那部电影。

  They came out of the cinema at 11 o'clock, got into their car and began driving home. It was quite dark. Then Mrs. Jones said, "Look, Bill. A woman's running along the road very fast, and a man's running after her. Can you see them?"
  晚上十一点，他们从电影院出来，钻进汽车，开始驾车回家。天很黑。这时，琼斯太太说："看，比尔。一个女人在沿街狂奔，一个男人在后猛追不舍。你看到了吗？"

  Mr. Jones said, "Yes, I can." He drove the car slowly near the woman and said to her, "Can we help you?" 
  琼斯先生说："是的，看到了。"他慢慢把车开近那女人，说道："你需要帮忙吗？"

  "No, thank you," the woman said, but she did not stop running. "My husband and I always run home after the cinema, and the last one washes the dishes at home!"
  "不，谢谢，"女人答道，但她没有放慢速度，"我丈夫跟我在看完电影后，经常跑步回家，后到家的洗碗涮碟。"
