呀,已经10点了,我要回家了。不然我妈妈会骂我的。
yā,yǐjīng shí diǎn le,wǒ yào huíjiā le。bùrán wǒ māma huì mà wǒ de。
Uh oh, it's already 10 o'clock. I'm going home. Otherwise, my mom will yell at me.
You're kidding, right? What era are we living in-- your family still has a curfew? And furthermore, you're more than 20 years old. You should have been free a long time ago. How can your mom still keep you on such a tight leash?
Oh, my parents' thinking is pretty traditional. My upbringing was always quite strict. My sister and I always had to be home before ten o'clock, and we always had to tell our parents before going out.
是吗?那你们家是谁当家?你妈妈?
