Text B
文章B
As we learned from Text A, a forgiving father may finally win back the respect of his son. Keeping a very tight rein on one’s child and being overprotective may cause more problems. The following text reveals the difficulties and unhappy feelings a teenager had in the process of growing up. Read the text with the help of a dictionary before class.
就像我們從文章A中學到的一樣，一位寬容的父親終將贏回兒子的尊重。如果父母對孩子嚴格管束并且過度保護，可能會導致更多的問題。下面的文章揭示了青少年在成長過程中遇到的那些困難和不開心的事情。上課之前，借助字典閱讀這篇文章。
The Needs of Teenagers
青少年的需求
While we're still children, most of us live at home with our parents more or less peacefully, but as we become teenagers, things change, and we all know the sort of difficulties we're likely to have. What's happening is that we're beginning to grow apart from our parents. We're a new generation that's almost ready to be independent, to leave the home where we grew up and make a new home of our own.
小的時候，絕大多數人和父母住在一起大抵能相安無事。但進人青少年時代，一切就起了變化。我們也都知道大概會碰到一些什么困難：我們跟父母越來越疏遠。我們是即將獨立的新一代。我們即將離開我們長大成人的家庭，建立自己的小家庭。
All human beings must grow up, but we don't all do it in the same way. Suppose, for instance, we belonged to a primitive tribe. There, as we grew up, we'd learn the skills we needed as adults ― how to hunt or fish, how to keep house and look after children. In our early teens, we'd be ready to marry and set up house near our family in the village we knew.
人人都要長大，但我們成長的方式各有不同。比如說，假如我們生活在一個原始部落里，我們就會在成長的過程中學會長大成人后所需具備的技能：如何狩獵捕魚，如何持家和養育孩子。十幾歲時，我們就準備結婚并在熟知的村莊里緊挨著父母家建立自己的家庭。
