The Parent-Trap No 对“父母束缚”说不 Mom and Dad invite you on a cruise. You get only two weeks off and think this would be an awful way to spend one of them. 父母邀你一同游轮度假。你只有两周的休息时间,而且觉得要花其中一周和他们在一起实在是个糟糕的主意。 "I love you and that's so generous, but I can't. How about a weekend visit?" Time with you may be more important to them than the plan. Be quick and sweet, and don't make up a story. They knew when you were lying at age 8; they'll know now. P.S. Don't get guilted! You're an adult! “我爱你们,请我去度假实在是太好了,但我没办法去。我周末去看你们怎么样?”对于他们来说,和你在一起的时光,或许比度假计划重要得多。果断贴心地回答,而不要撒谎。你8岁时的谎言就瞒不过他们的眼睛,现在依然如此。另外,别为此心怀内疚!你已经是个大人了! |
