SoI try to go somewhere quiet.薩拉：對。會花費時間，但是我認為那很值得，因為我認為那會節(jié)省我以后的時間，我要確保我的孩子以后舉止更得當。而且我一直試圖為他人考慮。我不希望其他人聽到我孩子的哭鬧聲。別人可能會感到很煩和不舒服，我不希望他們因為這樣就責罵我的孩子。因為孩子可以感覺到，她可能會哭鬧得更大聲。所以我要帶她去安靜的地方。Joh n:Oh, I see.約翰：我知道了。Sarah:Sometimes that'simpo ssiblethough.Some

16、是他們想要的東西。但是三歲的孩子會發(fā)脾氣，非常不聽話。John: A tantrum?約翰：發(fā)脾氣?Sarah:Yeah. When they scream and maybe they falldow non the floor, and they kick theirlegs. Sometimesthey try to hit you. It's really bad. But I thi nk alltwo-an d-three-year-oldchildre nsometimes they do them.薩拉：對，他們會尖叫，跌坐在地板上踢腿。有時他們還會打你。這種行為非常糟
