实战口语情景对话 第1247期:Were you spoiled as a child? 你小时候被宠坏了吗?

Chris: Hello, my name is Chris. I'm from the United States.
克里斯：大家好，我是克里斯，来自美国。

Phoebe: Hello, my name is Phoebe and I'm from China.
菲比：大家好，我是菲比，来自中国。

Chris: Our question is were we spoiled as children? I think I was probably a little spoiled. My grandmother got me things I wanted like Nintendo games and things like that, other kinds of video games but I don't think I was overly spoiled. I didn't get whatever I wanted, but I was an only child so I didn't have to share many things so in that sense maybe I was a little bit spoiled. How about you?
克里斯：我们要讨论的问题是，我们小时候被宠坏了吗？我认为我可能有点儿被宠坏了。像任天堂游戏和其他电子游戏这种我想要的东西，我奶奶就会买给我，不过我认为我并没有被过分溺爱。我没有得到所有我想要的东西，不过我是独生子，所以我不用和兄弟姐妹分享，从这个角度来看，我可能有些被宠坏了。你呢？

Phoebe: I think, I'm the only child in my family and my parents they have not really spoiled me. I think when I was young they asked me to do my things by myself, finish the things by myself and if I want something I have to behave myself and I have to, you know, try to be good and then get my reward. So I don't think I'm a spoiled child when I was young.
菲比：我是独生女，不过我父母没有太溺爱我。我小时候他们会让我自己做事，自己去完成我要做的事，如果我有想要的东西，我要表现良好，尽量努力做好事情，然后得到奖励。所以我想我小时候并不是被宠坏的孩子。

Chris: Not too spoiled?
克里斯：没有过于溺爱？

Phoebe: Yes.
菲比：对。

Chris: OK.
克里斯：好。
