059 Boy,Oh Boy 让人无奈的孩子

外国人讲:

When they’re together,my five-year-old son and his cousin tend to cause mayhem.One Saturday,I put my foot down.

“All right,you two,”I said sternly.“No screaming,grabbing,whining,hitting,teasing, tattling,breaking toys,scratching orfighting.”

As I turned to leave,I heard my son say, “C’mon,Steven,let’s get dirty.”

1together[tə'ɡeðə]adv.共同;一起

2cousin['kʌzn]n.堂(或表)兄弟(姐妹)

3mayhem['meΙhem]n.大破坏

4grab[ɡræb]v.抓住;攫取

中国人讲:

我5岁的儿子和他的表弟在一起的时候,总要招来大乱。一个星期六,我开始抗议了。

“好了,你们两个,”我严厉地说,“不许叫喊,不许乱拿,不许哭闹,不许乱敲,不许取笑,不许扯淡,不许弄坏玩具,不许乱抓,不许打架。”

我刚转身要走,就听我儿子说:“来,史蒂文,我们来把自己弄脏吧。”
