Should We Keep Supporting My Husband's Stepson?

Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our late 40s with professional(专业的) jobs. We are saving for our 12-year-old's college education and our future retirement(退休). Sometimes money is tight.

我和丈夫都是职业人士,而且已经快50岁了,我们在为12岁的孩子存大学学费,也在为自己的退休金存钱。经济常常很紧张。

My husband wants to keep giving money to his 23-year-old son, "Linc," a musician(音乐人). I love my stepson and even took a second job to help pay for his college tuition(学费). We also send him $100 fortnightly(两周一次的). Linc washes dishes to supplement(补贴) his music gigs(爱好). But, after four years of college, I think it's time to stop these gifts. When I was Linc's age, I had finished school, with the help of grants(奖学金) and loans(贷款), and was supporting myself.

My husband worries that Linc cannot manage on his own. I said I'd write to you. We have agreed to take your advice. -- No Grimm Stepmom

Dear Grimm: You should both talk to Linc. Find out how crucial(非常重要) those "gifts" are and create a budget(预算). Set a limit for how long you will pay tuition so he doesn't become a professional student. Then, instead of cutting him off, give him pointers on how to support himself, even if it means putting his music career on hold, or getting a full-time job and attending school at night.

Papa Loves Mambo(Perry Como)

Papa Loves Mambo 是享誉全球的曼波舞曲,当这首歌曲的乐声响起,任谁都会跟着节奏随性的摇摆身躯,情不自禁的迷上这种充满热情的,奇妙的舞蹈。 这首歌曲是美国 20 世纪深受欢迎的传奇歌王派瑞柯摩 (Perry Como) 1954年进军乐坛的首支单曲,歌曲写下全美流行单曲榜第4名的好成绩。2001年,柯摩的这首招牌曲还被选为George Clooney与Bratt Pitt所合演的电影《瞒天过海》的插曲。身为义大利后裔的派瑞柯摩,他的歌唱风格中有种难以言喻的酷感与浪漫情调。柯摩的歌唱生涯中总计拥有82首进榜单曲,其中包括11首冠军曲,Catch A Falling Star、Ko Ko Mo (I Love You So) 都是他的招牌曲。

歌词:

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Look at 'em sway with it,
gettin' so gay with it Shoutin' "ole" with it, wow! (ooh!)
Papa loves mambo (Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo (Mama loves mambo)
Papa does great with it,
swings like a gate with it
Evens his weight with it, now!

He goes to, she goes fro
He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left 'n' she goes right
(Papa's lookin' for mama but mama is nowhere in sight)

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Havin' their fling again,
younger than Spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow! (ooh!)

Papa loves mambo (Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo (Mama loves mambo)
Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba
'cause papa loves mama tonight (ooh!)

(Papa loves mambo)
(Mama loves mambo)
(Papa loves mambo)
(Mama loves mambo)

He goes to, she goes fro
He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left 'n' she goes right
(Papa's lookin' for mama but mama is nowhere in sight) (ooh!)

Papa loves mambo (Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo (Mama loves mambo)
Havin' their fling again,
younger than Spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow! (ooh!)

(Papa loves mambo) Mambo papa (Mama loves mambo)
Mambo mama (Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba)
'cause papa-- Loves a mambo tonight (ooh!)
