I just take whatever I can get, so that I don't ... cause I don't want to be late.

有必要给小孩教授理财知识吗
![]()
A: Hello, I am Christophe from Belgium, and this is Aiste from Lithuania. This is the question of the day: Should kids learn about personal finance? Aiste, what is your opinion about that?大家好，我是克里斯托夫，来自比利时，这是艾斯蒂，来自立陶宛，今天的话题是：孩子们应该了解理财知识吗？艾斯蒂，你怎么看？B: Well, I think it should definitely learn about personal finance, so my opinion is that any kids shouldn't be given a lot of money, and shouldn't think that money just appears when you go to your mom or dad and say," I want this. I want that - and - please give me money for that, so if the kid feels that money is a limited thing, I think that's the first step to learn about personal finance. What's your opinion, Christophe?我认为绝对应该了解个人理财知识，我认为不应该给孩子们太多钱，不应该让孩子们认为要去管父母要钱，比如“我想要这个。我想要那个，请给我钱去买”，如果孩子们感觉钱是有限制的，那就是了解个人理财知识的第一步。你的看法呢，克里斯托夫？A: Wait! But you told me that when you were a small girl, you went to your daddy and you said 'Daddy, can I have money, please?' and it was all the time like that.等等！可是你跟我说过，你小时候会去向你爸爸要钱，你会说：“爸爸，能给我点儿钱吗？”而且你一直是那样做的。B: Yes, but my amount was kind of limited, and every litas I got, that's the currency in my country, every litas was counted for a certain purpose, so my dad knew exactly that my transportation costs would be two litas and I had five litas for my lunch during the day, and that was it. So it was really ... because I used to go to school for a kind of locked time and I had to eat lunch, and so because he knew that, I couldn't have any extra money that I would use that for for example, if I would need some puzzle, or I would like to go somewhere, I couldn't actually save unless I didn't eat. So the money was actually limited, so I could feel that this was not just get as much as you want.对，不过我的钱是有限制的，我们国家的货币是立特，我拿到的每枚立特都有特定的用途，我爸爸清楚地知道我的交通费是2立特，午饭需要5立特，就是这样。以前我上学有固定的时间，而且我要吃午饭，所以他知道，我没有多余的钱去干别的事情，即使我想买拼图，或者我想去其他地方，那我也没办法攒钱，除非我不吃饭。所以我的零花钱是有限制的，我能感觉到，并不是你想要多少就能得到多少。A: So what you're saying is that you learned about personal finance?![]()

大家好，我是克里斯托夫，来自比利时，这是艾斯蒂，来自立陶宛。今天要讨论的问题是，你经常换发型吗？艾斯蒂，你经常换发型吗？
B: Not really. When I was back in my country I used to change my hair often because going to the hairdresser was very cheap and I just liked to experiment. But once I used to do it often, I had short hair. It really didn't fit me really well, so I started to back growing back long, and I just keep it simple and let it grow. What about you Christophe?
我不太常换发型。我在我的祖国时，经常换发型，因为理发很便宜，而且我喜欢尝试。不过因为我经常去剪发，所以我就变成短发了。可是短发非常不适合我，所以我开始留长头发，我就是简单简单地，让头发长长。你呢，克里斯托夫？
A: Well, I just go to the hairdresser six months ... I'm very sorry ... I go to the hairdresser like every six months, and then he cuts my hair short. I let it grow for six months, and then he cuts it short again. Very simple.
我基本上6个月去剪一次发，抱歉，我每隔6个月去一次理发店，理发师会把我的头发剪短。然后我让头发长6个月，再去剪短。很简单。
B: OK, I see, so we both keep our simple and easy to live with.
好，我知道了，我们都很简单，轻松生活。

Being in charge of students knowledge and what not. It's way too stressful and way too much pressure. Way too much pressure. I can't handle that.压力非常大。要负责教授学生知识等工作。那种压力实在是太大了，太有负担感了。压力过多。那让我应付不过来。B: But then sometimes I would like to be in charge.A: Oh, that would be pretty sweet, yeah!B: I always wanted to throw those little chalks at their heads.

Have you ever worked for minimum wage?好，MJ，我们来谈谈工资。你有做过领最低工资的工作吗？B: Actually I haven't really worked, so I didn't earn any money.
