Parents Worried Children Old Enough To Remember Family Vacation
当孩子们足够大去记住旅行中的点点滴滴时，父母开始担忧
YOUNGSTOWN, OH-Fearing that their kids' impressions of the experience could quite possibly remain with them for the rest of their lives, parents Joel and Bethany Weyandt told reporters Tuesday they are worried their children are old enough to remember the details of their recent family vacation.
俄亥俄州扬斯敦---为人父母的Joel和Bethany Weyandt害怕孩子们的经历留下的印象很有可能跟随他们一生，周二他们告诉记者很担心自己的孩子已经足够大去记住他们最近的一次家庭旅行了。
The husband and wife said their son, Michael, 6, and daughter, Nora, 5, have both reached an age at which they are capable of forming and retaining distinct memories, stoking the couple's concerns that the kids will be able to recall numerous details of their trip to Hershey, PA, from the oppressive heat, to the numerous barbs the parents uttered at one another, to the hours spent waiting in various lines.
这对夫妻表示他们6岁的儿子Micheal以及5岁的女儿Nora已达到足够大的年龄，能够形成并保留那些深刻的记忆。令这对父母感到担忧的是孩子们可能回想起无数不愉快的细节，包括一家人去宾夕法尼亚的旅行，那些闷热的天气，夫妻间无尽的争吵，各种排队等候等等。
"It's sad to think that the kids are probably going to remember everything we went through on this trip-the tiny little hotel room, Michael's ear infection, all of it," said Bethany, noting in particular a heated exchange between her and her husband that occurred after he missed an exit on Interstate 80, as well as the 30 minutes of tense silence in the car that followed the argument, both of which she believed might now be part of her children's lifelong store of memories. "If Nora and Michael were still toddlers, we probably would have been in the clear. But they're too old now, so there's really no hope that the closed pool and the broken A/C at the hotel aren't going to leave a lasting impression on them."
Bethany表示更令他们难过的是孩子们可能会记住这次旅行的所有事情，包括那间极小的旅馆，Micheal的耳部感染等等。没什么特别的事情，无非就是丈夫在80号州际公路驾驶时错过了出口，由此引发了双发"战火"，双方争吵过后就是30分钟的车内冷战，妻子觉得这些都会成为孩子成长过程中记忆储藏的一部分。如果Micheal和Nora还不懂事，我们可能就不会有什么阻碍。但现在他们已经懂事了，所以那些关闭的泳池和旅馆里坏掉的空调等不好的印象可定会在他们的记忆里长久存在。
