今天爸爸告诉我们一个消息：单位因为疫情防控要求，有可能调整作息时间，以十天为一个周期轮班，也就是需要连上十天班，爸爸也会十天都不在家。
Today, my dad told us a piece of news: due to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, our company may adjust our work schedule and shift every ten days, which means we need to work continuously for ten days. My dad will also be away from home for ten days.
我听到这个消息的第一个反应竟然是开心，我不厚道的偷笑了……
My first reaction upon hearing this news was actually happiness, and I shamelessly chuckled
假如爸爸不在家，我可以去买很多饮料和零食，可以先玩够了再写作业，可以看电视、听音乐……爸爸不在家，我能干很多我想干的事，可以少了来自爸爸的管控，也可以避免一些争执。作文吧 WWW.zuOwEnBa.Net
If my dad is not at home, I can buy a lot of drinks and snacks, play enough before doing homework, watch TV, listen to music... When my dad is not at home, I can do many things I want to do, which can reduce the control from my dad and avoid some disputes.
可是，我又有些担忧……
But I also have some concerns
假如爸爸不在家，每天早上只能妈妈来看妹妹，不能去给我买早点，每天中午放学，不能一回家就吃到美味的饭菜，无法享受红烧肉中肥而不腻的五花肉和营养丰富的鹌鹑蛋，不能品味简单而又美味的西红柿炒鸡蛋、更无法遨游在紫菜蛋花汤的清爽中。每天晚上回来没有人帮我洗袜子，没人看妹妹，妈妈不能陪伴我学习……想想都感觉很慌乱。
If my father is not at home, I can only see my sister by my mother every morning. I can't buy breakfast for me. I can't eat delicious meals after school every noon. I can't enjoy the fat but not greasy pork in Braised pork belly and the nutritious quail eggs. I can't taste the simple and delicious scrambled eggs with tomatoes, nor can I travel in the refreshing laver Egg&vegetable soup. Every night when I come back, no one helps me wash my socks, no one looks after my sister, and my mother can't accompany me to study... I feel very flustered just thinking about it.
但是，我开始思考，爸爸不在家，是不能改变的现实，那我便要承担家庭中唯一男人的责任。
However, I began to think that my father's absence from home is an unchangeable reality, and I would have to take on the responsibility of being the only man in the family.
假如爸爸不在家，每天早起不赖床、中午回家帮妈妈照看妹妹，好让妈妈做饭，吃完饭帮妈妈洗洗锅、利用空闲时间帮妈妈做些家务，帮妈妈洗洗袜子，帮妹妹换换尿布……爸爸不在家，正好是个锻炼自己的好机会。
If dad is not at home, he wakes up early every day and doesn't stay in bed. He comes home at noon to help mom take care of his sister, so that mom can cook, wash the pot after dinner, do some housework for mom in his free time, wash her socks, change her diaper... Dad's absence is a good opportunity to exercise himself.
假如爸爸不在家，到底是好还是不好呢？
If Dad is not at home, is it good or bad?
