在母亲节及父亲节,我们会给父母送贺卡、鲜花和礼物。我们会向他们表达感激之情,告诉他们我们爱他们。然后,在一年中的其他日子里,我们会尽量避开他们。呃,有些人甚至做得更绝一点。根据最近的两个民意调查,36%的年迈父母称,他们的成年子女在过去的五年里没有在他们需要帮助的时候施以援手。这还不包括那些已经记不住事情的父母。或许记性差也是一件好事。如果我成了一位年迈的父亲,我宁愿记住我的孩子最深情、最有同情心的模样。而如果事实并非如此,我宁愿选择失忆。 On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, we send greeting cards, flowers and gifts to our parents. We will express our gratitude to them and tell them that we love them. Then, on other days of the year, we will try to avoid them. Well, some people even do a little more. According to the latest two opinion polls, 36% of elderly parents stated that their adult children had not helped them when they needed help in the past five years. This does not include those parents who cannot remember things. Poor memory may also be a good thing. If I were an elderly father, I would rather remember my child’s most affectionate and compassionate appearance. And if this is not the case, I would rather choose amnesia.
