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.”

2cousin['kʌzn]n.堂(或表)兄弟(姐妹)

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。”
