今天的這段對(duì)話(huà),在討論家庭,
談?wù)勀阆胂蟮募彝ヒ?guī)模和理想生活是什么樣
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
A: So, coming from such a large family, again, what do you imagine for yourself as far as family size and your ideal lifestyle?
你來(lái)自一個(gè)非常大的家庭,那你所想象的自己的家庭規(guī)模和理想生活是什么樣的?
B: I love having a big family. I think that is the biggest blessing 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 siblings 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-time 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.
我喜歡大家庭。我認(rèn)為這是我生活中最大的恩賜,因?yàn)橐恢睍?huì)有人支持你??傆锌梢哉勗?huà)的家人,理想情況下,我希望有一天我有孩子以后,我的孩子也有十一個(gè)或十個(gè)可以尋求幫助或是聊天的兄弟姐妹。不過(guò)這種情況不會(huì)發(fā)生。因?yàn)槲蚁胛也粫?huì)生太多孩子。我希望生幾個(gè)孩子就好,我知道我的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況很穩(wěn)定,能滿(mǎn)足孩子的需求,他們?cè)诔砷L(zhǎng)過(guò)程中不會(huì)在錢(qián)的方面感到艱難,不過(guò)如果有一天我成為母親我希望我能做全職媽媽?zhuān)驗(yàn)槲覌寢屧谖业某砷L(zhǎng)過(guò)程中一直陪伴我。她就是全職媽媽?zhuān)刻煸缟闲褋?lái)、回家以后都能看到她的感覺(jué)非常好,而且我知道無(wú)論我們何時(shí)有需要她都會(huì)幫助我們,不過(guò)現(xiàn)在要做全職媽媽比較困難,因?yàn)檫@里的物價(jià)很貴,只有一個(gè)人上班很難負(fù)擔(dān)開(kāi)支,我想做全職媽媽?zhuān)绻?jīng)濟(jì)狀況允許的話(huà),我一定會(huì)當(dāng)全職媽媽?zhuān)贿^(guò)如果經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況不允許,我不介意繼續(xù)工作,即使上班也能成為全職媽媽?zhuān)矣X(jué)得這要取決于有多少個(gè)孩子要照顧,還要取決孩子的爸爸,以及我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)和情感狀況。我希望有幸福的家庭,所以家庭規(guī)模其實(shí)并不是最大的問(wèn)題。
