大家好，有四个疑问想请教： 1. Children don't naturally behave in a civilized fashion. The normal child is not a "good" child. What is the normal child like? Does he just eat and grow and smile sweetly? No, that is not what he is like. A normal child, if he has the confidence of his mother and father, pulls out all the stops. In the course of time he tries out his powers to disrupt, to destroy, to frighten, to wear down, to waste, to wangle and to appropriate. Everything that takes people to the courts has its normal equivalent in infancy and childhood, in the relation of the child own home. 请问 if he has the confidence of his mother and father 是甚麽意思呢？ 我不懂 the confidence of mother and father...有什麽特别之处？o_O 2. 有一节讲的是，有时该让孩子放纵一下，让他们宣泄精力，　　 　 才不会把精力累积成大灾难。 　 这一节的开头是这样说的： All children have a barbarous streak. Even if you remove every stumbling block (这里说的绊脚石，是指各种容易让孩子变得不乖的情况，譬如孩子很饿很累), it is only fair to let them break free from their constraints now and then. All children need a messy, unstructured, unproductive free-for-all every now and then. 字典上说 it is only fair to 是 used for saying that a particular action is correct or reasonable 　 可是我总觉得这样的解释，跟文章里的句子搭不起来耶... 　 请问应该是甚麽意思才对呢？ 3. 某个校长惩罚在厕所乱涂鸦的学生 Moshe. Instead of suspending Moshe from school, the headmaster kept him there after hours and put his hands to work: Moshe cleaned up the bathrooms and graded papers until 6 P.M. 请问 graded papers 是指把 papers 分类吗？ 那 papers 应该是指什麽样的 papers 呢？ 4. 有一段提到，既要爱孩子，也必须严格对待孩子。 When dealing with a child, be it ever your way to thrust him off with left hand and draw him to you with the right hand. 请问这里的 be it ever 是甚麽意思呢？ 是 就算... 的意思吗？ 为什麽要加一个 ever 呢？还有类似的其他用法吗？ 感谢！！ --
