Twenty minutes later, Mom finds Sam and Kim shooting each other

Mom: I’m going to take you back to the car right now! How dare you run off like that?

Sam: But Mommy, we were just trying to help. [hugs Mom]

Mom: And how is gunplay supposed to help me? [grabs toy gun and looks at tons of beer and chocolate in the cart]

Sam: OK, we’ll stay right by your side from now on. Sorry, Mommy.

Mom: I forgive you for now. But none of that chocolate till next Halloween!

Sam: I’ll go put it back!

二十分钟后，妈妈发现山姆和金咪正互相射击

妈妈：我现在就要把你们带回车上!你们竟敢就那样跑开?

山姆：可是妈，我们只是要帮忙啊。(抱抱妈妈)

妈妈：那拿枪打打杀杀是要怎么帮我?(抓起玩具枪，然后看着推车里一大堆的啤酒和巧克力)

山姆：好吧，我们现在开始就跟在你身边嘛。妈咪，对不起。

妈妈：我暂时原谅你们，但是你们得等到下次万圣节才可以吃那个巧克力!

山姆：我来放回去!

重点解说：

★ How dare you... 你竟敢…

★ tons of... 大量，许多

★ from now on 从现在开始

★ for now 暂时
