To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children
stand on their
own two feet. From
infancy, each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they gain more freedom to make their own choices. Teenagers choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to share them with. When they reach young adulthood, they choose their own careers and marriage partners.
對美國人而言,教養的目標在於幫助孩子們自立更生。從嬰幼兒期開始,每一個孩子都可能擁有自己的房間;隨著孩子的成長,他們有更多機會自己作決定;青少年們選擇自己喜歡的娛樂方式,以及跟什麼樣的朋友一起玩;當他們進入了青年期之後,他們選擇自己的事業和結婚伴侶。 ☉Word Bank infancy
