Professor Bowman, 老师说Amber has a gift for learning是什么意思?
Professor: Winnie, if you say that someone has a gift, that means he or she has an extraordinary talent.
所以老师意思是,Amber有学习天份,但需要严格管教。她告诉Hannah,如果Amber再act up - 捣蛋、耍脾气,就 give her a time-out--罚她反省。
Teacher: I think this is really a textbook case of lack of discipline. If you set boundaries for her behavior, she will quickly learn what is acceptable and what isn't.
Hannah: Alright, I will set boundaries. From now on when she throws food at her babysitter when I go out, she will have to take a time-out.
Teacher: That's exactly right. I think your babysitter will appreciate it, too.
Hannah: That reminds me: I have to find a new babysitter for my sweet little Amber. Can you believe all the other ones have quit?
Teacher: Yeah .... I'm completely shocked .....
Professor, 老师说Amber是"textbook case of lack of discipline," 这是什么意思?.
Professor: Here the word "textbook" is an adjective, meaning "typical" or "a perfect example." For example, "John sleeps until noon every day. He is the textbook example of a lazy teenager."
哦,就是“典型的例子”。希望Hannah真能接受老师的建议,set boundaries--给Amber立点规矩。
