I remember when I was a young boy,
life was tough.
My parents made me
do many things for them.
For example, they had me do the laundry,
the dishes and the house cleaning.
They even got me to work part-time
to help with the family expenses.
Nowadays, life is quite different for kids.
Parents can't force them to do anything.
On the contrary, it seems as if children
can get their parents
to do anything for them.
It amazes me, therefore,
whenever I hear youngsters complain.
Instead, they should be
thanking their lucky stars.

我父母讓我?guī)退麄冏龊芏嗍虑椤?br />例如，他們會叫我洗衣服、
洗碗盤和打掃家里。
他們甚至叫我去打工來貼補家用。
現(xiàn)在小孩的生活卻大不相同。
做父母的不能強迫他們做任何事。
相反地，做孩子的似乎有辦法
叫父母為他們做任何事。
因此，每當我聽到青少年抱怨時，
我就感到很驚訝。
他們應該感到慶幸才對。
