Sure. I live with my grandparents and parents, which is called three generations living under a roof.
是的。我和祖父母以及父母住在一起。在中國(guó)這被稱為三世同堂。
2. Is your family a typical one in China?
Actually I am not quite sure about what family can be called typical one. But, living under a roof is really prevalent in China, because the housing is limited.
事實(shí)上，我并不是很清楚什么樣的家庭能夠被稱為“典型”，但是由于住房條件有限，幾 代人同 住的現(xiàn)象在中國(guó)很普遍，。
3. Did family structure change a lot in China in past years?
I think so. In the past the dominant family structure was three or four generations under a roof, while now a small family with three or four is the main stream of family structure.
是的。過(guò)去的家庭結(jié)構(gòu)以四世同堂為主；而現(xiàn)在三、四個(gè)人組成的小家庭是占大多數(shù)。
4. What changes about women’s status take place in a family?
In the past, the main role of women in a family was to do household chores and educated the children. At present, thanks to the improvement of women’s status, more and more women can have the jobs and even careers they prefer to.過(guò)去的女性在家庭中的角色就是做家務(wù)和教育孩子?，F(xiàn)在由于女性的地位越來(lái)越高，更多的女性可以做他們想做的工作甚至開(kāi)創(chuàng)事業(yè)。
5. Who is responsible for household chores in family of China?
In the past, women are mainly responsible for the household chores. At present, the married couple will share all of chores.過(guò)去的女性主要從事家務(wù)勞動(dòng)?，F(xiàn)在夫婦倆會(huì)共同來(lái)完成的家務(wù)。
6. Whether the government should pay women who do household chores?
It’s an interesting question, but I don’t think that the government is supposed to do that, because the revenue government collect should be used in other fields, such as the construction of public transition system.
這是一個(gè)很有意思的問(wèn)題。我并不認(rèn)為政府應(yīng)該這樣做。因?yàn)檎呢?cái)政稅收應(yīng)該被使 用在其 它諸如：公共交通的建設(shè)中。
7. What is the people’s opinion of giving a birth to a baby?
It depends. To have children is a great pleasure to the most of married couples, while some of people believe that children might bring about more troubles and even the inharmonic relations between husband and wife.
孩子可以為大多數(shù)的夫妻帶來(lái)快樂(lè)。但是也有一些人認(rèn)為孩子可能帶來(lái)更多的麻煩，甚 至影響 夫妻之間和諧的關(guān)系。
8. Why some Chinese people want to have sons instead of daughter?
It’s a profound question and mainly discovered in China. It is probably because the daughters will eventually leave home to live in her husband’s fmily, while the sons can be permanent members in a family.
這是一個(gè)比較復(fù)雜的問(wèn)題。在中國(guó)這種現(xiàn)象比較普遍。這可能是由于女兒最終要離家成 為別人 家的成員；而男孩子可以是一個(gè)家庭永遠(yuǎn)的成員。
9. What do you think of the one-baby family policy?
Generally speaking, the policy helps the nation be richer and powerful than before. Obviously, overpopulation does more harm than good to a nation. However, I don’t think the policy should last for a long run. After all, the question of the number of children should be left to their parents.
總的來(lái)講，這項(xiàng)政策使得國(guó)家更加富強(qiáng)。很明顯，人口過(guò)多將會(huì)導(dǎo)致更多的問(wèn)題。但是我并不認(rèn)為 這項(xiàng)政策會(huì)長(zhǎng)期執(zhí)行下去。畢竟生幾個(gè)孩子的問(wèn)題應(yīng)該由他們的父母決定。
10. When do the children leave home to live alone?
In China, normally when the children get married, they might move to another place to live alone. However, owing to financial problems, they can also live with their parents until they find an appropriate house.
在中國(guó)當(dāng)孩子們結(jié)婚后，他們都會(huì)搬到另一個(gè)地方居住。但是由于一些經(jīng)濟(jì)原因，他們也可能在找到 房子之前與父母合住一段時(shí)間。
11. What do you think of divorce?
Divorce isn’t a simple question because many situations might result in it. However, the effects of divorce are huge especially to the innocent kids.
由于很多問(wèn)題可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致離婚，因此這并不是個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的問(wèn)題。但是，離婚對(duì)可憐的孩子們影響很大。
12. Why is the divorce rate increasing so rapidly?
True indeed, divorce cases are getting more and more today. I guess it is not good development. If the couples aren’t sure about marriage, they are supposed to consider it more carefully before they do it.
現(xiàn)在，離婚的案例正在逐漸增加。這并不是一個(gè)好的勢(shì)頭。如果情侶對(duì)婚姻并不是非常確定的話，他 們最好在考慮清楚之后再做出是否結(jié)婚的決定。
