明白為什么一些家長要讓他們的孩子在家做家務勞動。I do not understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. 10. 他們應當花時間在功課上,以取得好成績,考上一所好大學。They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. 11. 他們長大后必須做家務,所以對他們來說,現(xiàn)在沒有必要做家務。When they get older, they will have to do housework so there is no need for them to do it now. 12. 在家為自己的孩子提供一個干凈、舒適的環(huán)境是家長們的職責。It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and fortable environment at home for their children. 13. 做些家務瑣事可以幫助培養(yǎng)孩子的獨立性,教他們如何照顧自己。Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. 14. 既然他們與父母同住在一個屋檐之下,他們應該知道每個人都應當盡力保持家里干凈整潔。Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. 15. 我們鄰居的兒子上了一所好大學,但在他入學的頭一年,他卻全然不知如何照料自己。Our neighbor’s son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself. 16. 結果,他經常生病,成績下滑。As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. 17. 孩子們越早學會獨立,對他們的未來就越好。The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future. If you want your children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders.1
