Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the confidence to succeed. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a friendship among equals. But
contrary to popular belief, most adult Americans don't make their parents pay for room and
board when they come to visit. Even as adults, they respect and honor their parents.
美國人會讚美並鼓勵孩子以給予他們成功的信心。當孩子長大成人之後，親子之間的關係會更像地位平等的朋友，可是與大家一向所以為的恰好相反，當父母來訪時，大部份的美國成年人並不會要求父母付食宿費，因為就算已經成年，他們還是很敬重父母的。 ☉Word Bank contrary
