在中国,父母总是竭力帮助孩子,甚至为孩子做重要决定,而不管孩子想要什么,因为他们相信这样做是为孩子好。结果,孩子的成长和教育往往要屈从于父母的意愿。
如果父母决定为孩子报名参加一个课外班,以增加其被重点学校录取的机会,他们会坚持自己的决定,即使孩子根本不感兴趣。
然而在美国,父母很可能会尊重孩子的意见,并在决策时更注重他们的意见。
中国父母十分重视教育或者值得称赞。然而,他们应向美国父母学习在涉及教育时如何平衡父母与子女间的关系。
参考译文:
In China, parents always make all their efforts to help their children, and sometimes even make important decisions for them regardless of what their children want, because they think what they have done is the best for the children. So these children’s growth and education are susceptible to parents’ willingness.
If parents have decided to let their kids to attend an extra-curriculum class in order to increase the possibility of being admitted by a key school, they will be stubborn on their decision, even if the children are not interested at all.
However,in the United States, parents will be more likely to respect and pay attention to the kids’ opinions when the children need to make a decision.
The Chinese parents’ emphasis on education deserves praise. But they should learn from American parents to balance the relationship between parents and children.
