6.If you mess up,it's not your parents'fault,so don't whine about our mistakes,learn from them. 如果你陷入困境，那不是你父母的过错，所以不要尖声抱怨我们的错 误，要从中吸取教训。 7.Before you were born,your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills,cleaningyour clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are.So before you save the rain forest from the parasites ofyour parents'generation,try "delousing"the closet in your own room. 在你出生之前，你的父母并非像他们现在这样乏味。他们变成今天这 个样子是因为这些年来他们一直在为你付账单，给你洗衣服，听你大 谈你是如何的酷。所以，如果你想消灭你父母那一辈中的"寄生虫"来 拯救雨林的话，还是先去清除你房间衣柜里的虫子吧。 8.Your school may have done away with winners and losers,but life has not.In some schools they have abolished failing grades;they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer.This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life 你的学校也许已经不再分优等生和劣等生，但生活却仍在作出类似区 分。在某些学校已经废除不及格分；只要你想找到正确答案，学校就 会给你无数的机会。这和现实生活中的任何事情没有一点相似之处。6.
