Balcony Life | 阳台生活

English Original

Bill and Marla decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their 10-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony and order him to report on all the neighborhood activities.

The boy began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation. "There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he said. "An ambulance just drove by." A few moments passed.

"Looks like the Andersons have company," he called out. "Matt's riding a new bike and the Coopers are having sex."

Mom and dad shot up in bed. "How do you know that?" the startled father asked.

"Their kid is standing out on the balcony too," his son replied.


中文翻译

比尔和玛拉决定,要在他们十岁的儿子也在公寓里的情况下,完成一个周日下午的“速战速决”,唯一的办法就是把他打发到阳台上去,并命令他报告社区里所有的活动。

当父母开始执行他们的计划时,男孩开始了他的实况报道。"停车场有辆车被拖走了,"他说。"一辆救护车刚刚开过去。"过了一会儿。

"看起来安德森家有客人来了,"他喊道。"马特在骑一辆新自行车,库珀夫妇正在做爱。"

妈妈和爸爸从床上惊坐起来。"你怎么知道的?"震惊的父亲问道。

"他们的孩子也在阳台上呢,"他的儿子回答。
