2015年12月英語六級翻譯真題第三套：中國父母教育觀（新東方版）

在中國，父母總是竭力幫助孩子，甚至為孩子做重要決定，而不管孩子想要什么，因為他們相信這樣做是為孩子好。結果，孩子的成長和教育往往屈從于父母的意愿。如果父母決定為孩子報名參加一個課外班，以增加其被重點學校錄取的機會，他們會堅持自己的決定，即使孩子根本不感興趣。然而在美國，父母可能會尊重孩子的意見，并在決策時更注重他們的意見。中國父母十分重視教育或許值得稱贊。然而，他們應該向美國父母學習在涉及教育時如何平衡父母與子女間的關系。

Parents in China are always trying to help their children, even to make the most important decision for them, regardless of what the children really want, because parents believe it’s all for the benefit of their children. This has led to the result that the children’s growth and education tend to give way to their parents’wishes. Once the parents decide to sign up an afterschool class for their children in order to increase their chance of being admitted to a good school, they will stick on their decision, even their children have no interest in it at all.In America, however, parents tend to respect their children, especially when making decisions. Perhaps it is commendable that Chinese parents lay much importance on education, but Chinese parents still need to keep the balance between the parents and children in the perspective of education as the American parents do.
