Alberto: What was that ear-splitting scream?

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(zhuǎn)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(guān)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。

我不知道。我兒子小的時候，當(dāng)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?xí)舐暠г埂?/p>

我認(rèn)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(dāng)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?
