代溝 如今,父母和子女之間經常缺乏溝通.子女經常抱怨父母過時了;而父母并不贊同子女的言行.于是一個很大的代溝就產生了. 產生代溝的原因有很多.子女希望過比父母允許的更獨立的生活:自由的選擇自己的朋友;在學校里自由的選擇自己的社團;自由的描繪自己的將來;自由的支配自己的花費.當然年輕的子女們也希望能夠得到父母的理解.但是并不是大多數的父母都能夠理解他們的孩子,他們認為教育他們的后代樹立傳統的信仰是他們應有的責任,他們希望子女在家里能夠孝順,在學校能夠好好學習.于是,不理解就往往從父母打算干涉子女的日常生活中產生了.

　　我認為:父母和子女間的代溝問題可以通過雙方相互理解來共同解決.

　　Generation Gap

　　Nowadays, there is often a lack of understanding between parents and children. Children always complain that their parents are out of date, while parents can’t approve of what their children say and do. Thus, a big generation gap is formed.

　　The gap remains wide for many reasons. Children want to be free to choose their own friends, select their own classes in school, plan their own future, earn and spend their own money, and generally run their own life in a more independent way than many parents allow. Also, young children wish to be understood by their parents, but most parents don’t quite understand their children. They regard it as their responsibility to teach their offspring traditional beliefs. They want them to be obedient and do well in school. Therefore, misunderstanding often arise from parents’ tendency to interfere in children’s daily activities.

　　In my opinion, most problems between parents and children could be solved by joint efforts of both sides to enhance mutual understanding.
