因为影片,乖小宝对贫穷和富有有了更深一层的理解和困扰,因此这一两周乖小宝和妈妈陆陆续续地有些关于贫富的探讨。
昨天上学路上,乖小宝又开讲了,I like to stay in America, I don't want to live in places that are poor, like the Indians and Africa 。(妈妈以前很难理解为什么好些美国中西部的人一辈子就呆在一块地哪也不想挪,现在明白,原来,洗脑在很小的时候就发生了)
人往高处走是没错,但乖小宝也忒嫌贫爱富了点吧。妈妈很好奇,在乖小宝心中,美国是否就是最富有呢?
乖:No,we are not rich, but we are not very poor either, just a little.不得了,乖小宝对世界风云了解得很清楚嘛。确实,美帝国主义现在是每况愈下,欠着中国老大一笔债呢。可是,且慢,乖小宝的阅读能力还没到读懂华尔街日报的时候吧?
妈:Why do you think so?
乖: You don't have a lot of money and daddy doesn't have a lot of money either. But we have food。There are places people don't even have food(嗯,虽说从自家推断到整个国家的经济形势有些片面,不过乖小宝观察还属仔细和属实就是了)
妈:Which country do you think has the most money then?
乖: China!
妈妈赶紧追问为什么中国最有钱啊?
乖:China has a lot of grandpas and grandmas. (这是乖小宝某天和妈妈一起看中国旅游节目后得出的一个结论。那次,乖小宝问妈妈,为什么中国有这么多爷爷奶奶啊?妈妈一看可不是嘛,不知是节目的关系还是中国的人口老年化问题真的很严重,那天的节目里老年人是偏多些)
爷爷奶奶和富裕程度有什么联系吗?好像一点也不搭嘎啊。
乖: Grandpas and grandmas have the most money, they buy a lot of stuff for little kids。 (原来如此!确实,爷爷奶奶们对孙辈通常都很慷慨。就以乖小宝家为例,年节时最好最贵的礼物或是最大包的红包大都来自爷爷奶奶,而且爷爷奶奶通常是迫不及待主动积极地掏腰包。哪像乖小宝的穷爸爸穷妈妈,要从他们身上拿一块钱都是要有很多附加条件滴!)
妈:(震惊中。乖小宝的逻辑很雷人啊)Maybe we should move to China so we can have more money?奥巴马,请听一听六岁小童的治国良言吧。
乖: No, I like America.
妈:But we won't have a lot of money then.
乖: Well, we will just have to work hard, 10 times harder,then we will beat China. And every week we can only have only one day off,I think Sunday!
