纯正地道美语第338期(外教讲解):Homeschooling 在家教育

A: I think we should home school our children when we decide to have kids.

我认为当我们决定有孩子的时候应该在家教育他们。

B: What? Why?

什么？为什么？

A: Well, our public schools here are not very good and private school are just too expensive. I have been reading up on home schooling and it has a lot of advantages.

嗯，我们这里的公立学校不是很好，私立学校又很贵。我读了有关家庭教育的书，发现有很多的优势。

B: Like what? I think that by doing something like that we would be isolating our children from social interaction.

比如？我觉得这么做的话会让我们的孩子很孤立，不会社交。

A: Well, first of all, I would be able to teach them everything they learn in school in a more relaxed and fun way. I also think that having a one-on-one class is much better since you can focus more on his or her strengths or weaknesses.

嗯，首先，我能够用一种更加轻松和好玩的方式教他们在学校里学到的一切。我还觉得一对一的教学方式可以有争对性发现他或者她的优缺点。

B: I think neither your parents or mine would agree to such an idea.

我想我们的父母都不会同意的。

A: I will bring it up over Sunday brunch.

我会在周末的早午餐的时候跟他们提的。

B: Good luck with that!

希望这个想法能被通过！
