Parents Worried Children Old Enough To Remember Family Vacation

當孩子們足夠大去記住旅行中的點點滴滴時，父母開始擔憂

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.

俄亥俄州揚斯敦---爲人父母的Joel和Bethany Weyandt害怕孩子們的經歷留下的印象很有可能跟隨他們一生，週二他們告訴記者很擔心自己的孩子已經足夠大去記住他們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.

這對夫妻表示他們6歲的兒子Micheal以及5歲的女兒Nora已達到足夠大的年齡，能夠形成並保留那些深刻的記憶。令這對父母感到擔憂的是孩子們可能回想起無數不愉快的細節，包括一家人去賓夕法尼亞的旅行，那些悶熱的天氣，夫妻間無盡的爭吵，各種排隊等候等等。

"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表示更令他們難過的是孩子們可能會記住這次旅行的所有事情，包括那間極小的旅館，Micheal的耳部感染等等。沒什麼特別的事情，無非就是丈夫在80號州際公路駕駛時錯過了出口，由此引發了雙發"戰火"，雙方爭吵過後就是30分鐘的車內冷戰，妻子覺得這些都會成爲孩子成長過程中記憶儲藏的一部分。如果Micheal和Nora還不懂事，我們可能就不會有什麼阻礙。但現在他們已經懂事了，所以那些關閉的泳池和旅館裏壞掉的空調等不好的印象可定會在他們的記憶里長久存在。
