Mom, can I go to the shopping center with John? He just got his driver's license.
妈妈，我可以和约翰一起去购物中心吗？他刚刚拿到驾照。
No way! I don't think sixteen-year-olds should be allowed to drive. They aren't serious enough. I'm worried about your safety.
不行！我认为16岁的孩子不应该开车。他们还不够严谨。我担心你们的安全。
But Gaby's getting her ears pierced at the shopping center and I want to watch.
但是加比要在购物中心打耳洞，我想去看看。
Sixteen-year-olds shouldn't be allowed to get their ears pierced either. They're too young.
16岁的孩子也不能打耳洞。他们太年轻了。
I agree, but it's fun to watch. Can I take the bus then?
我同意，但是观看也很欢乐。那么我乘车去么？
Well, OK.
好的，可以。
Great! I want to buy a new skirt, too.
太好啦！我还想去买一条新裙子。
What kind of skirt? Maybe I should go with you.
什么样的裙子？也许我该和你一块去。
Aww, Mom. I’m not a child. I think teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.
哎呀，妈妈。我不是小孩子啦。我认为应该允许青少年选择自己的衣服。
Well, I just want to make sure you get something nice.
好吧，我只是想确定你买到漂亮的衣服。
