牛津英语8b课文翻译 Chapter7 Family lives

Pansy wanted to write some articles on family life for the school newspaper. She spoke to two teenagers. This is what they said.

Tina ( not her real name ) --- aged 14

My parent give me a generous amount of pocket money every month. If I spend it before th end of the month, they complain a little, but they always give me more.

I sedom do housework. Sometimes my mother asks me to clean my room if she's bvery busy, but she always gives me money or a present for helping her. After all, housework is the job of the parents, isn't it?

I get lots of presents. I've got an MP3 player, my own TV, a dig tal camera, a computer and lots of games. I also have lots of nice clothes. They buy me all the latest fashions. They never say ' no '. They want me to have a happly chidhood.

It's great to have my own TV. I can watch it for hours, and no one disturbs me. I watch it for about fifteen hours each week.

David ( not his real name ) --- also aged 14

I get a little pocket money every month. My parents say I have to learn to look after my money. So they never give me any more if I spend it too quickly. I think this is fair.

I have to do the housework fro about an hour every day. I wash dishes and clothes, clean the floors and sometimes cook meals. My parents never pay me for doing housework. It's the responsibility of the whole family, isn't it?

My parents give me presents sometimes. They usually give me something useful. For example, when I began to learn tennis, they bought me a good racket. They only buy me simple clothes, and they often say ' no ' when I ask for things. They say it's bad to expect things for nothing.

we only have one TV for the whole family, and i watch about seven hours each week.

潘西打算为校报写一些有关于家庭生活的文章，她访问了两个年轻人，下面是他们的采访报道。
蒂娜（非本人姓名）-- 14岁
我爸爸妈妈每个月都慷慨的给我很多零用钱，如果我在月底花完了，他们会有点小抱怨，但是总会给我更多的。
我很少做家务。有时候我妈妈会在她特别忙的时候要求我自己打扫自己的房间，但是她总会给我一些钱或者一个小礼物作为帮她的奖励。毕竟，我认为家务活儿是父母的工作，不是吗？
我得到过很多礼物。一个MP3，我自己的电视，数码相机，一个电脑和很多游戏。我还有很多的漂亮衣服，我父母总是给我买最新流行的款式。他们从来不对我说‘不’，他们希望我有一个幸福的童年。
最棒的是我自己的电视，我可以看几小时的电视而且没人打扰我。我每星期大概要看15个小时电视。
大卫（非本人姓名）-- 14岁
我每个月只有很少的零用钱。我父母说我要学会打理自己的钱。所以他们从不在我花钱太快的时候再多给我一些，我认为这是对的。
我每天大概要做一个小时的家务，我会洗碗筷和衣服，扫地，有时候还会做饭。我爸妈从不因为做家务而给我钱，那是整个家庭的责任，不是吗？
我父母有时候给我一些礼物。他们通常送我一些有用的东西。比如说，当我开始学习网球的时候，他们给我买了一副很棒的网球拍。他们只买给我一些普通的衣服，也经常在我要求要什么东西的时候说不。他们说只想获得而不付出是不对的。
我家里只有一台电视，我大概每周看7个小时。
