朋友有点不好意思地解释说,买这座大房子时,孩子们还上着学,如今都成家立业了。My friend looked somewhat ill at ease when he told me this: At the time when he bought this big house,hischildren had all been at school. Now they had their own homes and jobs.The underlined “his” in the above English translation can be omitted because in Chinese it’s “孩子们” not “他的孩子们”.
