趣味英语|那些年这些家长对小盆友们撒下的谎

回想成长过程中,父母经常会跟我们说一下善意的小谎话,比如......

西瓜子不要吞到肚子里,吞到肚子里就会在肚子里长出一个小西瓜了。

不能在屋里打伞,这样不长个子啦。

你是从石头缝里蹦出来的噢~

压岁钱我先替你保管着。

当年的你肯定认为爸妈永远是对的,现在回头想想,是不是觉得当年父母的那些小谎话也都那么温馨有趣呢?可是,你知道如果外国宝宝不听话,家长们是如何应对的么?

赶快和小编一起来看看吧~

被曲解的音乐

MisleadingMusic

Mydad used to tell me that when the ice cream man played music it meant he wassold out of ice cream. What a cruel trick.

我爸爸曾经告诉我,当卖冰淇淋的人播放音乐的时候,就说明他卖光了所有的冰淇淋。多么奸诈!

小编说:爸爸没有解释过为什么 ice cream man 已经卖光所有的冰淇淋了,那为什么还有那么多小盆友围着他呢?

“死亡”恐吓

“Death” Threat

Mymom told me if I didn ’t play outside for at least an hour a day, I’d turn into a vampire and all of my friends would be scared of me.

我妈妈说,如果我每天在外面玩耍的时间超不过一小时的话,我会变成一个吸血鬼,我所有的小伙伴们都会害怕我。

小编说:原来吸血鬼是这样炼成的......

一只小鸟告诉我...

ALittle Birdie Told Me

Mymom used to tell me she had a little bird that would fly around outside andwatch me when she wasn ’t around and would tell her if I did anything bad. I still hatebirds.

我妈妈曾对我说,她有一只小鸟,在她不在我身边的时候这只小鸟可以在外面边飞边监视我,如果我做了什么不好的事,这只小鸟会告诉她。直到现在我都讨厌小鸟。

小编说:那你有没有经常查一查周围有没有小鸟~

你最喜欢什么口味?

What ’s YourFavorite?

Myparents told me there was only one flavor of ice cream: vanilla. They told usthis so we wouldn ’t spill chocolate ice cream everywhere and stain things.”

我父母告诉我世界上只有一种口味的冰淇淋,那就是香草味。他们这么说是为了防止我把巧克力味的冰淇淋洒的到处都是弄脏东西。

小编说:是因为香草味的冰淇淋掉在地板上只是白色,而巧克力味的冰淇淋颜色看起来脏兮兮的?

种子事件

TheSeed Situation

Neitherof my parents likes watermelon. I asked my parents why we never had watermelonin the summer, and my mom told me the watermelon seeds were dangerous — shesaid if I ate one by accident, a whole watermelon would grow inside of me.

我爸妈都不喜欢西瓜。我问他们为什么我们夏天从来不吃西瓜,妈妈说西瓜的种子很危险——她说如果我不小心吃了一粒西瓜种子,肚子里就会长出一整个西瓜来。

小编说:哦,会长西瓜的呀,妈妈没补刀说需要做手术才可以把西瓜取出来么......

植物的知觉

ThePlant Perception

Iused to tell my daughter plants cry if you pull them out of the ground or ripleaves off. Obviously, this backfired when she refused to eat things like lettuce.

我曾告诉我女儿,如果你把草丛土里拔出来或者把叶子拽下来,这些植物们都会流泪。显然,事与愿违。从此她拒绝吃诸如生菜这种食物。

小编说:于是女儿就有理由不吃蔬菜了呢。

妈妈的神话故事

Momma ’sFairy Tale

Mymom used to tell me there were fairies in this little tucked-away part of thegarden, and if you spent long enough out there, they would probably eventuallymaybe come out, but you had to be patient and also very quiet.

我妈妈曾告诉我,在花园的深处里有许多精灵,如果我在那里待足够长的时间,他们可能最终会出现,但是你必须要保持安静,并且耐心。

小编说:听起来貌似很有道理的样子,那你没有看到是因为还不够乖咯。

幽灵般的寂静

GhostlyQuiet

Onroad trips, my dad told me that those ‘Watch for Falling Rocks’ signs were actually about ghosts that threw things off the ledges.He said if I was really quiet the whole ride maybe I’dsee one.

I never saw one.

在公路旅行中,爸爸告诉我,那些“小心流石”的指示牌其实是说有幽灵会从山脊上扔东西下来。他说如果我在整个旅途保持安静也许我会看见一个。

可是我一个都没看见。

小编说:没看见是好事,能看见的话你就不会在这说了。
