American Family翻译一下

American Family翻译一下
In the United States, most families have two or three children, and there are also even larger families. lPw\2%ErG
Certainly, children live together with their parents. But when the children have families, they will move out and have their own houses. Parents usually keep in touch with their grown children and take great interest in their grandchildren. On holidays, members of the larger family - grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins - often have meals together. \3< \3HVl(O
Both Mother and Father can have a voice in the family, but not all families are run this way. Many families still live by the old rule that Father's word is law. w9< R#y[A
Now, some mothers do not stay at home any longer. They also go out to work. Today, about 10 million American mothers with children under eighteen have jobs. In some families, mothers have to work because the father can neither find jobs nor make enough money. In other families, the mother may work to make more money so othe family can enjoy a better living. Many working mothers have to look for a cleaning woman one day or more days a week to help with housework and look after the children. \5A#EDk U,

在美国,大多数的家庭有二三个孩子,有的家庭甚至有跟多的孩子.
当然,孩子们和他们的爸爸妈妈住在一起.但是当孩子们自己有了自己的家庭后,他们就会搬出去并拥有自己的房子.父母经常和他们已经长大了的孩子保持联系,并对他们的孙子女友很关心.假日期间,大家庭的各个成员—祖父母,阿姨们,叔叔们,堂兄弟姐妹们-经常聚在一起吃饭.爸爸和妈妈在家庭中都可以有决定权,但是并不是所有的家庭都以这种模式经营.很多的家庭仍然遵守着“父亲的世界就是法律”这样的旧规矩.
现在,许多妈妈都不再呆在家里了.她们也出去工作.今天,大约有一千万的带着18岁以下孩子的美国妈妈有工作.在一些家庭中,妈妈不得不工作,因为爸爸找不到工作也挣到足够的钱.在另外一些家庭中,妈妈也可能是为了挣多一些钱以使家庭生活更加舒适.有许多工作的妈妈们在一天或是几天中,都要找个清洁女工来帮忙自己做家务并照看孩子们.
