It’s Not Easy Being a Kid!

It’s Not Easy Being a Kid!

做一个孩子不容易！

Hi, I’m Peter. I’m in the second grade. I have one thing to say: It’s not easy being a kid! Being a kid might look like fun, but sometimes it’s not. Yesterday, I was playing outside with my friend. I was having a really good time. Then suddenly my mother said, “ Peter, it’s time to come inside now. It’s getting dark. ”

嗨，我是彼得。我在二年级。我有一件事要说：做一个孩子不容易！ 做一个孩子可能看起来很有趣，但有时不是。 昨天，我和朋友在外面玩。我玩得很开心。 突然，我妈妈说：“彼得，现在该进屋了。天快黑了。”

When you’re an adult, no one can tell you what to do or when to do it. When you’re a kid, you have to get up early in the morning and go to school. At school you have to study math, English, science, and history. After school, you have to do your homework. When you’re an adult, you do not have to go to school and you never have homework.

当你成年后，没有人能告诉你该做什么或什么时候该做。 当你还是个孩子的时候，你必须早上早起去上学。 在学校，你必须学习数学、英语、科学和历史。 放学后，你必须做家庭作业。当你是一个成年人时，你不必去学校，也不必做家庭作业。

When you’re a kid, there are many things you can’t watch. Last Saturday there was a scary movie on TV. It looked really exciting. But my father would not let me watch. He said, “ You’re too young for this movie, Peter. ” When you’re an adult, you can watch anything you want.

当你还是个孩子的时候，有很多事情你不能看。上周六电视上有一部恐怖电影。 看起来真的很刺激。但我父亲不让我看。 他说：“彼得，你太年轻了，不适合看这部电影。”当你成年后，你可以看任何你想看的电影。

When you’re a kid, the older kids sometimes pick on you. When I was walking home from school on Monday, Tom and Steve bothered me. Steve took my schoolbag and put it in a tree. It made me very mad. When you’re an adult, no one can pick on you. When you’re a kid, you can’t go anywhere by yourself.

当你还是个孩子的时候，大一点的孩子有时会挑你的茬。星期一我放学回家时，汤姆和史蒂夫打扰了我。 史蒂夫把我的书包放在一棵树上。这让我很生气。当你成年后，没有人可以挑你的茬。 当你还是个孩子的时候，你不能一个人去任何地方。

Last Friday, I wanted to buy a birthday gift for my friend John. But I had to wait for my mom to return home. When I want to go somewhere, I have to ride my bike or ask my mom for a ride. When you’re an adult, you can drive a car wherever you want. When you’re a kid, you have to go to bed early.

上周五，我想给我的朋友约翰买一份生日礼物。但我不得不等我妈妈回家。 当我想去某个地方时，我必须骑自行车或让我妈妈骑。 当你成年后，你可以开车去任何你想去的地方。 当你还是个孩子的时候，你必须早点睡觉。
