M: what's your opinion about childless couples? Will you choose to have no kids?
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.
你是怎么看待那些不要孩子的夫妻的？你打算要不要孩子。
說實(shí)在的，我不打算要孩子。
為什么？你現(xiàn)在必須做出選擇嗎？
不是，只是這事已經(jīng)困擾我很久了。
那你到底愁什么呢？
我和我丈夫打算不要孩子，但是我婆婆很傳統(tǒng)，很想抱孫子。
啊，這樣啊。我覺得老人們總是和我們想法不太一樣。
是啊，可是我婆婆就是不能理解，為什么結(jié)了婚卻不要孩子。我們昨天還吵了一架。
是嗎？也許她只是抱孫心切吧。
但是要不要孫子，完全是我們自己的事。
是啊。
知道嗎？我經(jīng)常聽見我們隔壁那對(duì)年輕的夫妻因?yàn)榻逃⒆佣鵂幊场Ｎ艺娌幌胱尯⒆佑绊懳覀兊幕橐鲂腋！?br />
不要擔(dān)心。大多數(shù)情況下，孩子還是家庭的粘合劑。
好吧，但是我還是不想要孩子。
好的，那你們就可以好好享受二人世界了。
