Alberto: What was that ear-splitting scream?

這震耳欲聾的尖叫聲是怎么回事?

Melissa: That little girl over there is having a temper tantrum.

那邊的小女孩在發(fā)脾氣。

Alberto: Oh, great! The movie hasn’t even started and that kid is already acting up.

哦，太棒了!影片甚至還沒有開始，那小子已經(jīng)開始耍脾氣了。

Melissa: I hope she’s okay. She looks miserable. Maybe her parents can distract her somehow.

我希望她沒事。她看起來很難受。也許她的父母可以轉移下她的注意力。

Alberto: She’s fine. She’s just looking for attention or frustrated she didn’t get what shewanted. If parents didn’t give in every time their child wanted something, kids wouldn’t throwtantrums.

她沒事。她只是在引起別人的關注或因為沒有得到她想要的東西而感到沮喪。如果每次孩子們要東西時，父母都不屈服，孩子們就不會發(fā)脾氣。

Melissa: I don’t know. When my son was little, he used to throw tantrums when he didn’t knowhow to tell us what he needed. He got frustrated and sometimes, he would start kicking andscreaming.

我不知道。我兒子小的時候，當他不知道如何告訴我們他需要什么東西時就會發(fā)脾氣。他感到沮喪，有時，甚至會大聲抱怨。

Alberto: Well, I don’t think that’s the case here. Look at those parents. They’re going to buythe girl some candy to quiet her down. That’s just rewarding her for her misbehavior.

我認為這兒不是那種情況?？纯茨切┘议L。他們打算買一些糖果女孩來使她安靜下來。這只會獎勵她的不當行為。

Melissa: What would you do instead?

如果換作是你，你會怎么做?

Alberto: I would set limits so that things like this never happened. In this case, I would givethat girl a spanking. It’s all about having consequences for bad behavior.

我會定些規(guī)矩，那樣這樣的事情從來就不會發(fā)生。在這種情況下，我想給打那個女孩的屁股。這就是不良行為的后果。

Melissa: Oh, yeah? Did that work with your children?

哦，是嗎?那對你的孩子有用嗎?

Alberto: Uh, I don’t have any kids.

嗯，我沒有孩子。

Melissa: That’s what I thought!

我也這么想!
