Teacher: Actually, Amber throws a temper tantrum whenever I tell her to do her work.
Hannah: A temper tantrum? What does she do?
Teacher: She throws all her books on the floor and screams. It's really disruptive for all the other students in class.
瞧,真相大白了吧。老师说,Amber虽然很聪明,但是不听话,老师让她做功课,她就"throw a temper tantrum," 这是什么意思呢?
Professor: The word "tantrum" means an outburst of bad temper. If a child "throws a temper tantrum", he or she is expressing anger through kicking, screaming or other immature ways.
我知道了,就是耍赖,发小孩子脾气。
Professor: Exactly. "Throwing a temper tantrum" is the same thing as "throwing a fit". For example, I could say, "My son always throws a fit when I try to put him to bed."
Hannah: Oh my goodness! Well... I'll give you a piece of advice: If Amber throws a fit, just give her whatever she wants. It always works for me.
Teacher: Well you see, that's the problem. If you don't set rules for her to follow, she will never learn discipline. That would be a shame because she really has a gift for learning.
Hannah: You think I need to discipline her more? How should I do that?
Teacher: One thing you can do is to give her a time-out. If she misbehaves or is acting up, make her sit in one spot and don't let her leave until she behaves.
