早晨，我正在书房聚精会神地练着字。 In the morning, I was concentrating on practicing my words in my study. “陈正|，快过来一下！”妈妈叫道。 "Chen Zheng, come here quickly!" Cried mother. “来了！”我放下笔跑到了厨房，妈妈指着排水槽叫我帮她想想办法。 "Here we are!" I put down my pen and ran to the kitchen. My mother pointed to the drain and asked me to help her. 原来，排水槽里原本的水漏裂开了，很多东西都会漏下去，这样一来，排水管就很容易被堵了。可妈妈新换的一个水漏洞太大了，还是会漏下去一些东西，排水管还是会被堵住。 It turns out that the original water leak in the drain is cracked, and many things will leak down, so that the drain pipe is easy to be blocked. But my mother's new water leak is too big. It will still leak something, and the drain pipe will still be blocked. “我以前用过丝袜，可丝袜的漏洞太小了，有一点糊状的东西，就会把洞给堵住，水都不容易漏下去，一下子水槽都积满了水。”妈妈说。 "I used to use silk stockings before, but the loopholes of silk stockings are too small. If there is a bit of paste, the holes will be blocked. The water is not easy to leak down. All of a sudden, the sink is full of water." Mom said. “嗯……”我努力地思索着，“不能太大也不能太小，噢，对了，为什么不能把水漏的洞分成两半呢？这样大的漏不下去，小的会漏下去，既不会堵住排水管，也不会堵住水漏呀！” |
