笔记：

when it comes to career choice, 关于职业选择

Western parents, “you can be anything when you grow up, and you can count on whatever you become, we will be proud of you.”

西方父母，“你长大之后可以成为任何人，并且，不管你成为什么样的人，我们都无条件爱你。”

Asian parents: “You can be an engineer,a doctor,a lawyer,a teacher, oh if you want a risky fun job, try dentist.” 亚洲父母，你可以做工程师啊，医生啊，律师啊，老师啊，如果你想做点有取的冒险的工作，就试试牙医吧。

关于恋爱

Western parents:“ Oh, you think you’re in love? Honey, I’m so happy for you. What’s she like? Is she cute?” 西方父母，哦你恋爱了吗？亲爱的，我真为你开心。她是个什么样的人呢？可爱吗？

Asian parents: “You think you’re in love? You are too young to understand what love is. All you need to do now is to stay in school, study hard, get a good job, and then marry someone.” 亚洲父母，你恋爱了？你这么年轻懂什么爱不爱的！你现在要做的就是好好上学，努力学习，找个好工作，嫁个人家！

关于亲情

Western parents:“ Your father and I just wanted you to know that we love you so much. No reason. We just wanted to let you know.” 西方父母，我和你爸就是想让你知道，我们很爱你。没什么，就是想要你知道。

Asian parents: “I’m doing this for your own good.” 亚洲父母，我这么做还不都是为了你好！

Wrap up warm. 多穿点儿。

Call me when you get there, just so I know you’re okay. 到了打电话，让我知道你没事儿。

Take care of yourself when you're not at home. 在外面好好照顾自己。

It’s not about good or bad. It’s just differences. And we know that all parents are trying hard to provide anything we really want and really take care of us.

两种教育方式无关好坏，只是不同而已。我们知道所有的父母都会倾其所有给我们我们想要的东西，并且无微不至地关心我们。
