A Trip to the Supermarket

On Friday evening Dad takes Lin Hao to the supermarket. The building is bright and cold inside, and there are too many choices. They need rice, milk, and vegetables for the weekend. Lin Hao pushes the trolley, which is heavier than it looks.

星期五晚上，爸爸带林浩去超市。 里面又亮又冷，选择多得让人眼花。 周末需要米、牛奶和蔬菜。 林浩推着购物车，它比看上去要沉。

In the fruit area Dad asks, "Which apples look better?" Lin Hao picks a bag that is not too expensive. They also buy bread, because Saturday breakfast is always busy. A little child is crying for sweets, but his mother says no.

水果区爸爸问：“哪些苹果看起来更好？” 林浩挑了一袋不太贵的。 他们还买了面包，因为星期六早饭总是很赶。 一个小孩为糖果哭，可妈妈说不。

At the checkout the line is long. Lin Hao reads the English on a juice bottle while they wait. Dad pays, and they walk out into the warm night. The bags pull their arms down, but they laugh.

结账处队伍很长。 排队时林浩读果汁瓶子上的英语。 爸爸付了钱，他们走进温暖的夜里。 袋子把胳膊往下拽，可他们在笑。

On the way home Lin Hao says, "Outside is full of small English." Prices, signs, and the words on bottles are all waiting. Dad answers, "Then keep your eyes open." This week they waited for a bus, bought water, crossed a street, sat in a park, and now they go home with rice and apples.

回家路上林浩说：“外面到处是小小的英语。” 价格、牌子、瓶子上的字，都在等着被读。 爸爸说：“那就睁大眼睛。” 这一周他们等过车、买过水、过了马路、坐过公园，现在提着米和苹果回家。
