Today's Cleavers spend their evenings in front of their separate TV screens.

今天的克立弗一家晚上各自守着自己的电视机。

The modern American family entertains itself in ways the Cleavers would never have dreamed of.

当今美国家庭的娱乐方式是克立弗家无从想像的。

The men hold huge cleavers, which are in a few strokes whetted to razor sharpness on nearby rocks.

这几个男人拿着大砍刀，把这些砍刀在附近的岩石上磨得象剃刀一样锋利。

Groups of men carrying pipes, sticks and cleavers milled in front of shops before police dispersed them.

一些人在警察赶到前手握管子，棍棒和刀站在商店门口。

But we might borrow one important lesson from the Cleavers. It is that family life is just as important as work or play.

但我们或许能从这一人家获得一个重要的借鉴，即家庭生活和工作、娱乐同样重要。

The Cleavers were used to dinners of pot roast or chicken. Potatoes, salad, and vegetables went with the main course, with pie or cake for dessert.

克立弗一家常常吃炖肉或炖鸡，除主菜外还有土豆、色拉、蔬菜，甜食是馅饼或蛋糕。

We don't have to look outside the home to see the changes. The modern American family entertains itself in ways the Cleavers would never have dreamed of.

我们不必走出家门去看有什么变化。当今美国家庭的娱乐方式是克立弗家无从想像的。

Twenty minutes after the quarrel, while he was comforting his girlfriend, the man returned on the scene, bringing twenty friends with meat cleavers and bricks on them.

争吵后之后二十分钟，当他正在安慰自己的女友时，那个男的回来了，带着二十个朋友，手里都拿着菜刀和砖头。

His call is bracing but melodious, although once he sets to work on a blade, the noise of grindstone on metal brings out the old women with their beloved worn-out cleavers.

他的叫卖声很精神，但很有音韵，尽管只要他一开始磨刀锋，金属在磨石上的噪音就会引来老妇人们，带着她们心爱的旧菜刀。
