At the Mall在购物中心英语短文阅读理解

 　　At the Mall在购物中心

　　Mike and Maria were taking a stroll at the town mall. Mike was carrying a shopping bag for Maria, who had purchased a few items at the store. Maria had bought a few things for the kitchen. Mike, as usual, was stuck with the task of being the carrier. A few hours had passed since they had first arrived. Mike wondered if they were going to be there much longer.

　　迈克和玛丽亚在镇上的广场散步。迈克为玛丽亚拎着购物袋，她在商店里购买了一些物品。玛丽亚为厨房买了几样东西，迈克，像往常一样，继续干着体力活儿。他们来了几个小时就回去了，他原以为他们会在那里待的更久一点。

　　There was a football game he wanted to watch at home. He looked at his clock and noticed that it was going to be five o'clock. The football game started at six. Mike and Maria had arrived at the mall at around two in the afternoon. Their time had been spent window shopping and actual shopping. There were a lot of people at the mall that day. It made sense seeing as how it was the weekend.

　　他想在家里看足球比赛。他看了看钟，看到现在是五点。足球比赛六点开始，迈克和玛丽亚在下午两点左右来到商场，他们的时间都花在闲逛和买东西上了。那天商场里有很多人，感觉就像周末一样。

　　The mall usually had the most visitors during the weekend, especially families. Mike and Maria passed by a family with a crying child. The child was crying because he wanted a toy and he did not get it. The child's wailing was so loud it made Mike's ear ring.

　　购物中心通常在周末人最多，特别是家庭。迈克和玛丽亚看到一对夫妻和一个哭泣的孩子。孩子哭了，因为他想要一个玩具，他没有给他买。孩子的哭的声音太大了，声音一直在迈克的耳边响着。

　　Mike looked at Maria and said, "I hope our future children aren't cry babies". Maria laughed and agreed. "Let's just agree not to have any," she said. "I hope you are kidding," Mike replied. Maria looked straight ahead as they continued walking. They were nearing the exit and Mike saw the opportunity to bring up leaving.

　　迈克看着玛丽亚说，“我希望我们未来的孩子是个不哭的孩子”。玛丽亚笑着同意了。”但愿我们没有孩子。”她说。“我希望你是在开玩笑。”迈克回答道。玛丽亚看着前方继续走着。当他们走到出口处时，迈克找到了个机会提出了离开。
