美國之音口語經(jīng)典教程Events and Activities That You Don't Like 不喜歡的

Lesson 31Events and Activities That You Don't Like

不喜歡的事件和活動

 

Things to Know  學(xué)前必讀

典型的美國家庭是由父母及他們未婚的孩子構(gòu)成的一種核心家庭。一對美國夫婦有兩三個孩子，甚至更多些，都是很常見的。美國人的獨立意識很強，每個成年人都應(yīng)有自立的能力，特別是經(jīng)濟上。小孩高中畢業(yè)就不依靠父母生活。有些成年人即使與父母生活在同一城市里，他們也愿意另找住房生活，從不在經(jīng)濟上依靠父母。有不少高中生甚至初中生在晚上或周末打工賺零錢，以支持社交或生活所需的費用。許多大學(xué)生讀大學(xué)也是靠自己假期打工賺回生活費來完成學(xué)業(yè)的。如果一位已工作的成年人還與父母同住的話，他會被伙伴們嘲笑。

美國人對子女的愛，體現(xiàn)方式與中國人不同，他們注重孩子獨立生活能力的培養(yǎng)，父母的責(zé)任就是把孩子培養(yǎng)成有自立能力的人。
