责任与义务

Dialogue

Steven and Tom are talking about the problem between the young and the old.

Tom: Lots of elderly people want peace and quiet in their old age, but young people want an unrestrained 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.

对话

史蒂文和汤姆在讨论年轻人和老年人之间的问题。

汤姆: 很多老年人都希望自己的晚年生活能清静些,而年轻人向往的却是无拘无束的生活。

史蒂文: 如果分开生活,就两全其美了。我父母就希望和我们分开生活。

汤姆: 如果老年人身体不好需要照顾怎么办?

史蒂文: 年轻人当然要承担责任,如果需要的话,他们会和父母一起生活。

汤姆: 等我老了,我也那样。

史蒂文: 那得先有个孩子,那也是你的职责。

汤姆: 我知道那是我必须做的。
