Some of the best benefits of growing up which aren’t often spoken of:

不經(jīng)常被人們提起的長(zhǎng)大最大的好處：

Not feeling locked into the immutable social categories set for you by your peers (ie., not feeling defined by others);

不再感覺(jué)被禁錮在身邊人為你設(shè)定的一成不變的社交范疇了（也就是說(shuō)，不再感覺(jué)被別人定義了）；

The development of significantly better self-esteem, which might previously have been trounced on a daily basis by toxic parents or other children and bullies you had no choice being around;

更好地培養(yǎng)自尊，以前自尊可能每天會(huì)被你身邊無(wú)法選擇的糟糕的父母或其他孩子和愛(ài)欺負(fù)別人的人所踐踏；

The ability to choose the people you want to hang out with or avoid;

有能力選擇想要交往或躲開(kāi)的人；

Finding a way to recognize and accept your own skills and weaknesses, and knowing how to compensate or learn from the latter;

找到一種方法認(rèn)清并接受自己的技能和弱點(diǎn)，知道如何規(guī)避弱點(diǎn)或從弱點(diǎn)中學(xué)習(xí)；

The ability to have significant personal insight about what love-interests, jobs, and studies are best suited for your particular personality type and psychological needs;

有重要的自我洞察能力，知道什么深愛(ài)的興趣、工作和學(xué)習(xí)最適合自己獨(dú)特的個(gè)性和心理需求；

Learning the real meaning of joy, happiness and achievement in your own life, and how to better slough off pain, failure and disappointments.

學(xué)會(huì)了自己生命中快樂(lè)、幸福和成就的真正含義，以及如何擺脫痛苦、失敗和失望。

When we were kids, we all wanted to grow up in order not to ask for pocket money from parents! And when we grow up, we are always bewildered about what to do now!

當(dāng)我們還是孩子時(shí)，我們都想長(zhǎng)大，就不用再跟父母要零花錢(qián)了！長(zhǎng)大了我們又總是困惑現(xiàn)在該做點(diǎn)什么！

Such are humans. But wait, being adult is not as bad as it seems.

這就是人。但等一下，做個(gè)成年人也沒(méi)有看起來(lái)那么糟。

We earn, even if it is meagre but a sense of independence is so cool

我們賺錢(qián)了，雖然賺的少但獨(dú)立的感覺(jué)真棒

We can get married, even if no one really wants to. But you stand a chance, if you are willing, of course

我們可以結(jié)婚，即使沒(méi)人真想結(jié)婚，但你有這個(gè)選擇，當(dāng)然得你愿意才行

We can drink alcohol. It is not the best thing I tasted but atleast was eligible to try

我們可以喝酒。雖然酒不是我喝過(guò)的最好的東西，但至少有資格喝了

We can vote, even if I might never be benefitted direct but that blue ink gives a sense of responsibility

我們可以投票，雖然我可能永遠(yuǎn)成不了直接受益者，但藍(lán)色墨水給了我一種責(zé)任感

We can take our parents out, even if the destination is the nearest and most affordable one but they deserve it

我們可以帶父母出去了，雖然目的地是最近的最能承擔(dān)得起的，但父母值得這樣的回報(bào)

We can be parents, legally, as 18 (21 for men) and above is deemed to be responsible

法律上講我們可以做父母了，18歲（男性21歲）及以上被認(rèn)為可以負(fù)責(zé)任了

But we still can’t overrule what our fathers declare. We still can't turn the phone off when out with our buddies. We still can't say No to our parents when they drag us to weddings. We still can't eat pizza and burgers everyday!

但爸爸說(shuō)的話我們?nèi)匀徊荒芊瘩g，和朋友出去仍然不能關(guān)機(jī)，被父母逼婚時(shí)仍然不能說(shuō)“不”，披薩和漢堡仍然不能每天都吃！

Growing up is not easy!

成長(zhǎng)并非易事！
