Tom: Lots of elderly people want peace and quiet in their old age, but young people want an unconstrained life.
Steven: It would be good for both if they lived separately. My parents want to live apart from us.
Tom: What if old people are in poor health and need to be looked after?
Steven: Young people ought to carry out their responsibilities. If it's needed, they would live with their parents.
Tom: When I'm old, I'll also be like that.
Steven: You need a child first, and that's your duty, too.
Tom: I know that's what I must do.
湯姆:很多老年人都希望自己的晚年生活能清凈些,年輕人向往的卻是無拘無束。
史蒂文:如果分開過,就兩全其美了。我父母就希望和我們分開生活。
湯姆:老年人身體不好需要照顧怎么辦?
史蒂文:年輕人當然要承擔責任,如果需要的話,他們會回到父母身邊一起生活的。
湯姆:等我老了,我也這樣。
史蒂文:那也得先有孩子呀,那也是你的職責。
湯姆:我知道那是我必須要做的。
