标题：Single Parents Are Not Happy About Kristin Cavallari's Joke

正文：Kristin Cavallari came under fire this week following a comment she made about being a “single parent.”
The former “Hills” star and her NFL quarterback husband, Jay Cutler, have three children ― 5-year-old Camden, 3-year-old Jaxon and 1-year-old Saylor.

On Tuesday, she appeared on a Facebook Live segment with Entertainment Tonight, during which she provoked the ire of some single parents. During her interview, Cavallari talked about living in Nashville, Tennessee while her husband goes down to Florida with his team, the Miami Dolphins.
“We just moved there, actually, a few months ago, full time. And both my boys are in school. It doesn’t make sense to pack up the family just for five months,” the mom explained.
Cavallari also joked, “So, I’m a single parent for the next five months. It’s a little chaotic but in the best way. My kids are great. They’re good kids for the most part.”

While taking care of three kids under 6 while your partner is away is certainly an overwhelming prospect, Cavallari’s comments about being a “single parent” while her husband plays for the Miami Dolphins did not sit well with actual single parents and their loved ones.

读到文中的Single Parents Are Not Happy About Kristin Cavallari's Joke：Kristin Cavallari came under fire this week following a comment she made about being a “single parent.” 以及Cavallari’s comments about being a “single parent” while her husband plays for the Miami Dolphins did not sit well with actual single parents and their loved ones几处时，我们会这么“使用英语”：
1. What is come under fire?

1a. To be shot at with a gun
1b. To be subject to intense criticism or judgment.
1c. to be criticized

3) UTalk2

Well I know if you are criticized intensely or if you are the subject of intense criticism fir doing sonething wrong, we will say you come under fire, just like you are being shot at by a gun.

URead了前面的英语，就要能UTalk上面的英语，能做到吗？有困难吗？这不就是在自己跟自己练口语吗？

如果你继续坚持把上面的英语用翻译成中文的方式才能“理解”其意，用“使用中文”的方式“学英语”，那么，你一方面又口口声声说要练口语就很不应该了。

把文章中的几处Single Parents Are Not Happy About Kristin Cavallari's Joke/Kristin Cavallari came under fire this week following a comment she made about being a “single parent.” 以及Cavallari’s comments about being a “single parent” did not sit well with actual single parents and their loved ones串起来读时，我们就可以这样“使用英语”：

Well I see. When we say someone comes under fire, we can also say we are not happy with someone, or he does not sit well with us.

这样一来，你的一个意思的表达就会变得丰富多样化起来，而不再是英汉“一对一”的单一表达了。
