英文原版对话1000个:760 Future Family

（单词翻译）

Kara: So, coming from such a large family, again, what do you imagine for yourself as far as family size and your ideal lifestyle?

Lupe: I love having a big family. I think that is the biggest blessing¹ in my life because there's always someone there for you. You can always talk to someone and ideally I would love it one day I had children and they had, you know, eleven or ten siblings² to go to when they need help or when they just simply want to talk. That's really not gonna happen. You know, I don't think I'm gonna have many children. I would love to have enough children that I know I can actually be financially stable enough that my kids will have what they need, and they won't have to struggle when they're growing up because of money situations, but I would love to be a mom one day, and I would love to be a stay-at-home mom at that because growing up, I always had my mom there with us. She was a stay-at-home mom and it was great to wake up and have her there and come home and have her there and really to know she's there whenever we needed her, and now it's a little more difficult just because it's really expensive you know to live here and it's hard to have just one of the parents working, so ideally I would love to be a stay-at-home mom, and if it's financially possible, I would definitely do that, but if it's not then, you know, I wouldn't mind still working and, you know, still being a full-time³ mom even if you are working, but I think it all depends on how many kids I have and obviously the person that I have my children with and how we are as far as money and even emotionally. We want to have a good family so the size is really not gonna be the biggest issue.
