和老外聊天地道口语：丁克一族
N: to be honest, I wouldn't.M: why? Do you have to make a choice now?
N: not really. But it has puzzled me for a long time.
M: what's the puzzle?
N: my husband and I prefer to have no kids, but my mother-in-law is very
traditional and wants grandkids.
M: oh, I see. I think the older generation tend to think in a different
way.
N: yes. It seems she can never accept a childless marriage. We had a fight
last night.
M: oh, really? Maybe she is just eager to see her grandchildren.
N: but it's absolutely our own business to have a child or not.
M: definitely.
N: you know, I often overhear our neighbor, the young couple, fighting
about how to raise their kid and I really don't want kids to spoil our
hapoiness.
M: don't worry. I think in most cases, children are the glue that keeps a
family together.
N: I guess you're right. But I still prefer to have no child.
M: sure. You can fully enjoy your time together.
