直升机父母 Jessica在北京学中文，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是吴琼要问的：虎妈。 Jessica：Hey，吴琼!你怎么看起来无精打采的!怎么啦? WQ: 别提了。还不是我男朋友，他什么都告诉他妈妈，连我们吵架都说，我真是受不了了，简直就是个没长大的孩子嘛! Jessica: Oh yeah, mamas boy can be hard to deal with. WQ: Wait a second...你说，mamas boy? Jessica: Yep. Mamas boy is used to describe a guy who is excessively attached to his mother. WQ: 哦，就是什么都要听妈妈的话的那种男生!简直就是我男朋友的写照嘛Mamas boy! 那，什么都听父母话的女生要怎么说? Jessica: We call that kind of girl Daddys little girl. 爸爸的小女儿。 WQ: Mamas boy, Daddys little girl, 真形象!其实我觉得，孩子有这种依赖性，家长也有责任! Jessica: Yep. Ive seen some helicopter parents. They are pretty scary. WQ: Helicopter parents?直升机家长? Jessica: Thats right. Helicopter parents refer to those who always hover over their children even when theyve already grown up. 就是对孩子过度保护的家长。 |
