A: How do you think people get their personalities?
你認(rèn)為人們是如何獲得個性的?
B: I think it’s mainly from the environment a person lives it.
我認(rèn)為這主要來自于一個人生活的環(huán)境。
A: Don’t you think people get their personalities from their parents?
你不認(rèn)為人們的個性是從父母那里得到的嗎?
B: no, but parents control a lot of the environment that kids grow up in, so they certainly influence their kid’s personalities a lot.
不,但父母控制著孩子成長的許多環(huán)境,所以他們肯定會對孩子的性格產(chǎn)生很大影響。
A: So why do you think many kids have personalities that are so different to their parents.
那么,為什么你認(rèn)為許多孩子的性格與他們的父母如此不同呢。
B: maybe when they become teenagers, they want to be completely different to their parents.
也許當(dāng)他們十幾歲的時候,他們想和父母完全不同。
A: You might be right. I guess most parents want their kids to be like them, but kids today grow up in a different environment. You know, they know much more about the world from the internet, newspapers, and tv.
你可能是對的。我想大多數(shù)父母都希望他們的孩子像他們一樣,但今天的孩子在不同的環(huán)境中長大。你知道,他們從互聯(lián)網(wǎng)、報紙和電視上了解了更多的世界。
B: do you think that teenagers get a lot of their bad behaviour from tv and movies?
你認(rèn)為青少年的很多不良行為是從電視和電影中得到的嗎?
A: Maybe some of it. I think a lot of people blame TV and movies when the real problem is that the parents aren’t bringing their child up correctly.
也許是其中的一部分。我認(rèn)為很多人責(zé)怪電視和電影,而真正的問題是父母沒有正確地?fù)狃B(yǎng)孩子。
B: Parents have a difficult job. They have to bring up their children and usually have to work too.
父母的工作很困難。他們必須撫養(yǎng)孩子,而且通常也必須工作。
A: Yes, that’s fine. Your son is doing well at school, isn’t he?
是的,那很好。你兒子在學(xué)校表現(xiàn)很好,不是嗎?
B: yes, he is. He’s very hardworking when he’s at school. Then he comes home from school and does homework before dinner. After dinner, he goes out with his friends.
是的,他是。他在學(xué)校的時候非常勤奮。然后他放學(xué)回家,晚飯前做作業(yè)。晚飯后,他和朋友出去玩。
A: So, he’s not a bookworm? It’s good that he has an outgoing personality. Some kids are very quiet and introverted. You wonder they’ll survive in the real world without their parents to support them.
所以,他不是個書蟲?他性格外向,這很好。有些孩子非常安靜和內(nèi)向。你想知道如果沒有父母的支持,他們會在現(xiàn)實世界中生存下來。
