We are not gonna be some yuppie couple pawning off our kid on other people. End of discussion.

我们不会像雅皮士把孩子当给别人。讨论结束。

My great-grandfather had the foresight to protect this instrument at a time when my great-grandmother was pawning off all their belongings, but that's another story.

我的曾祖父在我的曾祖母典当掉他们所有的财产时，有先见之明地保护了这件乐器，但那是另一回事了。
