原文:As in, am I not keeping close enough tabs on our children?你是在说我不够关心孩子吗?
【enough的用法】
enough作形容词,意思是"足够的;充分的",常与for sb to do连用,可以作定语或表语。作定语置于被修饰的名词前后均可,前置时强调enough,后置时强调被修饰词.
简而言之,enough和形容词在一起的时候就在形容词的后面,如常用的big enough ,如果和名词在一起就放在名词的前面,enough money。
原文:Yeah, and that was before our kids started spinning out of control.没错,但那是在我们的孩子开始失控之前。
