735　What if we get separated? 我们分开了怎么办？

When we moved cross country, my wife and I decided to drive both our cars. Our eight-year-old son worriedly asked, “How will we keep from getting separated?” “We'll drive slow so one car can follow the other,” I reassured him. “Yeah, but what if we get separated?” he persisted. “Then I guess we'll never see each other again,” I quipped. “Okay,” he said, “I'm riding with Mom.”

当我们准备跨越整个美国大搬家的时候，我和太太决定把两辆车都开过去。我们八岁的儿子担心地问：“我们怎么能保持互相不分开呢？”我安慰他说：“我们会开得慢一些，这样就互相跟得上。”他仍坚持问：“那万一我们分开了怎么办？”我逗他说：“那我们就再也见不到面了。”他说：“那我坐妈妈的车。”
