在新西兰
这些事情有些很小,但有些很大,其实从小就要给男孩子灌输正确的理念,这样他才能成长为有担当的男人!
TWENTY THINGS A MOM SHOULD TELL HER SON 妈妈应告诉自己儿子的二十件事:
1. Play a sport. 从事一项运动,它将教导你如何赢的光荣,输得体面,尊重权威(裁判),与人合作,合理安排时间,远离麻烦,也许还能学会取舍。
It will teach you how to win honorably,
lose gracefully, respect authority,
work with others, manage your time
and stay out of trouble.
And maybe even throw or catch.
2. You will set the tone 你需要确定性爱关系的性质,因此不要轻易从她那里拿走你无法归还的东西
for the sexual relationship,
so don't take something away from her
that you can't give back.
3. Use careful aim when you pee. 小便时要小心入池,否则你可知道有人需要清理污秽
Somebody's got to clean that up, you know.
4. Save money when you're young 从小养成储蓄习惯,因为将来你需要用钱的地方很多
because you're going to need it someday.
5. Allow me to introduce you 请让我带你熟悉洗碗机,烤箱,洗衣机,熨斗,吸尘器,抹布,笤帚。。。。请习惯使用它们
to the dishwasher, oven,
washing machine, iron,
vacuum, mop and broom.
Now please go use them.
6. Pray and be a spiritual leader. 祈祷并成为精神领袖。
7. Don't ever be a bully 决不要欺辱别人,决不要挑起争斗,但如果有哪个白痴挑衅你,请一定要自卫!
and don't ever start a fight,
but if some idiot provobe you,
please defend yourself.
8. Your knowledge and education is something 你的知识和教养是无人可以从你身上夺走的东西
that nobody can take away from you.
9. Treat women kindly. 请宽容爱护女人。 ‘永远’是指你也好独自生活很长时间,它甚至比与讨厌你大肚腩的某人一起生活的时间还长
Forever is a long time to live alone
and it's even longer to live with somebody
who hates your guts.
10. Take pride in your appearance. 为你的外表而自豪。(不自卑也不自大)
11. Be strong and tender at the same time. 同时兼具坚强如山与柔情似水 (这点难度最大O(∩_∩)O哈!)
12. A woman can do everything that you can do. 女人可以做任何你能做的事,因此她可能事业成功而你则在凌晨三点换尿布。互相尊重是保持良好关系的秘诀
This includes her having a successful career
and you changing diapers at 3 A.M.
Mutual respect is the key to a good relationship.
13. "Yes ma'am" and "yes sir" ’是,夫人’与‘是,先生’还有很长的路要走???(这点我不明白比喻什么?
still go a long way.
14. The reason that they're called "private parts" 那些部位之所以被称为‘私密部位’就是因为它们的‘私密性’,请不要当众抓挠它们
is because they're "private".
Please do not scratch them in public.
15. Peer pressure is a scary thing. 来自相同人群的压力是令人紧张的,请成为领导者,别人自会跟从。
Be a good leader and others will follow.
16. Bringing her flowers for no reason 无需原因给她送花总是没错的。
is always a good idea.
17. It is better to be kind 宽容仁慈比‘永远正确’要更好。
than to be right.
18. A sense of humor 一点幽默感在疗伤过程中很有帮助
goes a long way
in the healing process.
19. Please choose your spouse wisely. 请明智选择你的配偶。我的儿媳将是为我花时间在你和我的孙辈们身上的看护者
My daughter-in-law will be the gatekeeper for me
spending time with you and my grandchildren.
20. Remember to call your mother 最后记得给妈妈打电话因为我也许正想念你 (我好老了。。。)
because I might be missing you.

是不是可以这样理解:
能够取得别人的认同与尊重,还需要很长时间。
在此之前,只能以一个服从者的姿态出现,谦虚地认同别人的意见。

13. "Yes ma'am" and "yes sir" ’

有沒有爸爸需要告訴兒子的幾個事情...

sometimes the father's 'ruthless ' means 'love'. mother's 'love' means ' ruthless'
