662　Brooms and Witches 扫帚和巫婆

My mother is a cleaning fanatic. One Saturday she told me and my brother to get down to the playroom and straighten it up. We had had a party there the previous evening and she was none too happy about the mess. As she watched us work, it was clear Mom was completely dissatisfied with our cleaning efforts and let us know it. Finally my brother, exasperated with having to do it all over, reached for a broom and asked, “Can I use this or are you planning to go somewhere?”

我的妈妈有洁癖。一个星期六，她让我和我弟弟到楼下的游戏室去打扫。头一天晚上我们在那里聚会，我妈妈对那里的凌乱非常不高兴。当她看着我们干活的时候，显然她对我们所干的完全不满意，让我们重来。我弟弟生气了，拿来一把扫帚，说：“如果你再不走开，我就要用这个了。”
