Mom Knows Best


When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side.
When I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep in.
When I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger.
When I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me up.

When I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me.
But I talked back loudly, "I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!"
When I was nine watching scary movies, she said it'd give me awful dreams.
But I shouted back angrily, "I should be allowed to watch it! I'm not a baby!"

When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, "Please be back by ten!"
But I talked back again -- "I should not be told what to do! I'm seventeen now!"

Now I'm an adult, thinking back to those times.
I coughed for days after eating that ice-cream And had scary dreams after watching that film.

I was late for school from staying out past ten.
I regret talking back, not listening to Mom. Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!

妈妈最清楚


当我还是个小男孩的时候，哭了一整夜，妈妈给我唱歌，陪在我身边。
当我又累又饿的时候，她给了我食物和温暖的手臂让我睡。
当我两岁的时候，她确保我的安全，让我远离危险。
当我摔倒受伤时，她给了我一个拥抱，把我抱了起来。

我七岁的时候咳嗽得厉害，她说不给我吃冰淇淋。
但我大声反驳道：“应该允许我吃一些！现在就给我！”
当我九岁看恐怖电影时，她说这会让我做噩梦。
但我愤怒地喊道：“应该允许我看！我不是婴儿！”

当我十几岁的时候和朋友出去玩，她说：“请十点前回来！”
但我又回嘴了：“不应该告诉我该做什么！我现在十七岁了！”

现在我已经是一个成年人了，回想起那段时光。
我吃了冰淇淋后咳嗽了好几天，看完那部电影后做了可怕的梦。
我上学迟到了，因为我在外面呆了十点多。
我后悔没有听妈妈的话顶嘴。妈妈最清楚，对我来说她只想要最好的！

Should I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions?


Many teenagers have hobbles. But sometimes these can get in the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?

Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on his school team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up. However, his parents won't allow him to train so much. "Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams," says Mr. Liu. "And we know how much he loves running. My wife and I have supported every one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we think our son needs to think about other possible jobs. He's getting older now, so he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn't end up as a professional runner."

Liu Yu doesn't really agree. "Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself," he says. "My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but I'm serious about running. It's the only thing I've ever wanted to do."

His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they don't allow him to practice running at night. "Maybe he thinks it's too strict or unfair," says Mrs. Liu. "But we think we're doing the right thing. He needs to spend more time on his homework because it is difficult to become a professional sports star."

But Liu Yu still disagrees. "I know my parents care about me. They always talk about what will happen if I don't succeed. But I will! I'm a quick runner! I think I should be allowed to make this choice myself. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my dream."

应该允许我自己做决定吗？


许多青少年都有残疾。 但有时这些会妨碍他们的学业，父母可能会担心他们在学校的成功。 青少年通常认为应该允许他们随心所欲地练习自己的爱好。 你同意吗？

刘宇，一个来自山东的15岁男孩，是一名跑步明星。 他是校队队员，一直想长大后成为一名职业跑步运动员。 然而，他的父母不允许他训练那么多。 “我们当然希望看到他实现自己的梦想，”刘先生说。 “我们知道他有多喜欢跑步。 我和妻子支持他的每一场比赛。 我们不反对跑步！ 但我们认为我们的儿子需要考虑其他可能的工作。 他现在年纪越来越大了，所以他需要考虑如果他最终不能成为一名职业跑步者会发生什么。”

刘宇不太同意。 “嗯，我想我应该被允许自己做决定，”他说。 “我的父母总是教导我在学校努力学习，考上大学是多么重要。 我理解，但我对跑步是认真的。 这是我唯一想做的事。”

他的父母认为刘宇应该在晚上努力学习，所以他们不允许他在晚上练习跑步。 “也许他认为这太严格或不公平，”刘太太说。 “但我们认为我们在做正确的事情。 他需要在家庭作业上花更多的时间，因为要成为一名职业体育明星很难。”

但刘宇仍然不同意。 “我知道我的父母关心我。 他们总是谈论如果我不成功会发生什么。 但我会的！ 我跑得很快！ 我想我应该被允许自己做这个选择。 只有这样，我才有机会实现我的梦想。”

Notes on the Text

1. No way! 不行！
 这是英语口语中一个直接拒绝对方的表达用语，强调不赞同别人的观点，或根本没有可能按照其要求去作某事，具体意思类似于汉语的 “不可能；不行” 等。
 另外，英语口语中还常用 There’s no way … 这样的惯用表达，用以陈述某人无法做某事。

例如：

There’s no way I’m going stay in a hotel for 800 yuan a night. That’s too expensive for me. 我根本无法去住 800 元一晚的宾馆，那对我来说太贵了。

2. Sixteen-year-olds should be allowed to get their ears pierced. 应该允许 16 岁的孩子穿耳洞。
 此句中的 get 是使役动词，其搭配用法多种多样，这里接的是带有过去分词的复合结构。get something done 是一个常见的固定搭配，常用来表达 “请别人做某事；使某事完成（自己也可能参与）”，something 与其后所接的 done（过去分词）存在逻辑上的动宾关系。

例如：

Go and get your hair cut. 去找人理一下发。（相当于 Go and get someone to cut your hair.）

3. When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side. 当我还是一个整夜哭闹的小宝宝时，妈妈会给我唱歌，陪伴在我身旁。
 此句中的 crying all night 是一个动词 -ing 形式短语，用在名词 baby 后面作定语，起修饰名词的作用。由于本单元的短篇 Mom Knows Best 属于诗歌体裁，文中运用了排比的修饰手法，因此，动词 -ing 形式短语作后置定语的现象在文中出现了多次。在初中阶段，学生只需要理解这一结构在句中的作用和含义即可，不必要求掌握或运用。

4. Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those times. 现在我已长大成人，回想起那过去的岁月。
 此处名词 times 意指 “时光；岁月；时代”。除 times 一词外，有时人们还会使用 days 表达类似含义。

例如：

People started to train and use the horse in ancient times. 在古代人们就开始驯养和使用马匹了。
In those days, people used to write a lot more letters. 那时候人们更习惯写信。

5. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my dream 只有那样我才会有机会实现我的梦想。
 这是一个倒装句，正常语序是 I will have a chance to achieve my dream only then, 但由于与前文的连贯性及强调的需要，only then 被置于首句。
 英语的句子大多主语在前，谓语在后。但在一些句子中，由于修饰或句子结构上的需要，谓语被部分或完全置于主语之前，构成 “倒装语序”。
 only 用于语句子的开头，后接副词、介词短语或状语从句时，句子应倒装。

例如：

Only yesterday did he find out that his watch was lost. 直到昨天他才发现他的手表丢了。
Only after a year did I begin to see the results of my work. 直到一年后，我才开始看到我工作的成功。
