　　哦，就是性情。那even temperament是性格随和，好脾气喽？

　　Professor: That's right.

　　Psychologist: Tom, I really wouldn't worry about it. As he grows up he will mellow out.

　　Tom: I hope so, because I have such high hopes for him! Even though, my parents never loved me and never thought I could achieve anything, I'm going to make sure this dog is a winner!

　　Psychologist: I see .... so you're treating your dog the way you wish your parents had treated you?

　　Tom: Exactly! And when we win first prize at all the dog shows, I'll show all those people who made fun of me when I was a kid.

　　Psychologist: Right. Well Tom, I'm happy to say your dog is totally healthy. You, on the other hand, need some serious professional help!

　　Professor: So Winnie, what is the psychologist's conclusion?

　　他说，狗没病，人有病! 需要看心理医生的是Tom自己! 对了，professor, 他说the dog will "mellow out"，是什么意思？

　　Professor: Someone is mellow if he is very relaxed, calm and not worried about things.

　　所以医生是说Tom的狗随着年龄的增加，脾气会越来越好。Tom还说，等他的狗在宠物比赛中得了冠军，他会show all the people who made fun of him as a kid. 他要向这些嘲笑过他的人show什么呢？

　　P: Winnie, if you prove that you were right and another person is wrong, you can say you "showed" that person. For example, I never thought Andy was very smart. But when he got into Harvard, he really showed me.
