你多久沒有回家了?開始想家里的爸爸媽媽了嗎?回家一般也會有一個固定的范式來發(fā)展:第一天,我就是家里的小寶貝,吃什么都聽我的,爸媽眼中我是世界第一可愛;過幾天,爸爸媽媽開始告訴我需要注意下自己的習(xí)慣,可能還會有點小指責(zé);再過幾天,馬上變成家里的最低階層,被從頭到腳開始嫌棄,開始懷疑是不是村子門口的垃圾堆里撿來的。

國外有個網(wǎng)友在雅虎上提問,你的父母都對你說過哪些讓你很煩的話?回答也是充滿了被嫌棄的味道。

Oh pretty much like anything that goes like this:
噢這種情況很多啊,一般都是像這樣:

Don’t fall off that ladder.
別從梯子上掉下來。

Don’t drown in that pool.
別在泳池里淹死了。

Don’t get hurt.
別受傷。

Don’t make yourself unlikeable.
別把你自己變得不討人喜歡。

.
等等,等等。

No, mom, I’m gonna jump off the ladder, kill myself in the pool, hurt myself, and then make everyone hate me.
放心吧,媽,我正打算從梯子上跳下來,在泳池里自殺,傷害我自己,然后讓每個人都討厭我。

“Don’t talk to me like that”
“不要這樣和我說話”

“Sit down, shut up!”
“坐下,閉嘴!”

“Are you gonna help me or are you gonna just sit there all day on your iPod?”
“你是打算幫我一下還是繼續(xù)就坐在那里玩一整天的iPod?”

“When are you gonna get a new job?”
“你打算什么時候去找一個新工作?”

Bah, they ask it every time I see them :(
呸,他們每次看到我的時候都這么問我:(

As for your question, my answer is “Fold your clothes!” … Folding clothes is my least favorite thing to do. I’d rather clean a toilet.
至于你的提問,我的回答是“把你的衣服折好!”……折衣服是我最討厭做的事情。我寧愿去刷廁所。
