中国从20世纪80年代早期开始实行计划生育政策，你怎么看待独生子女家庭
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: hi, Natasha, how's life?
 
嗨，娜塔莎，最近怎么样？
 
B: great. My family came to visit me.
 
挺好的，我家里人来了。
 
A: oh, you must be very happy. How many people are there in your family?
 
那你一定很高兴了。顺便问一下，你们家有几口人？
 
B: my immediate family is very large. It's my mother, my father, my two older brothers, my younger sister and me.
 
我的直系亲属很多，有妈妈，爸爸，两个哥哥，妹妹和我。
 
A: I have a small family. They are my parents, my younger brother and me.
 
我家人不多。父母，弟弟和我。
 
B: I thought you were the only child in the family. Didn't China practice the only-child policy in the early 1980s?
 
我以为你是独生子女呢。中国不是从20世纪80年代早期就开始实行计划生育政策了吗？
 
A: yes, it did. But my parents are ethnic minority people. It's a preferential policy for an ethnic minority family to have two children.
 
是的，的确是，不过我父母是少数民族的。少数民族极家庭可以享受优惠政策生2个孩子。
 
B: interesting. What do you think about families with only one child?
 
挺有意思的，那你怎么看待独生子女家庭呢？
 
A: the child must feel very longly. My younger brother is 10 years younger than me. Before he was born, I used to be the only child and always dreamed that I would have a younger sister or brother one day.
 
我觉得孩子一定很孤独。我弟弟比我小十岁。他出生之前，我一直是家里的独生子，那时我一直希望自己能有个弟弟或妹妹。
 
B: do you get along well with each other?
 
那你们相处的好吗？
 
A: yes, we are very close. He is 12 years old and very smart. He always makes us laugh a lot.
 
是的，我们俩关系很好。他今年12岁了，很聪明。经常逗得大家笑个不停。
 
B: you are very lucky to have such a nice family.
 
你真幸运，有这么幸福的家庭。
 
A: thank you.
 
谢谢你。
