丁克一族英语口语

和老外聊天地道口语：丁克一族

N: to be honest, I wouldn't.

M: why? Do you have to make a choice now?

N: not really. But it has puzzled me for a long time.

M: what's the puzzle?

N: my husband and I prefer to have no kids, but my mother-in-law is very traditional and wants grandkids.

M: oh, I see. I think the older generation tend to think in a different way.

N: yes. It seems she can never accept a childless marriage. We had a fight last night.

M: oh, really? Maybe she is just eager to see her grandchildren.

N: but it's absolutely our own business to have a child or not.

M: definitely.

N: you know, I often overhear our neighbor, the young couple, fighting about how to raise their kid and I really don't want kids to spoil our hapoiness.

M: don't worry. I think in most cases, children are the glue that keeps a family together.

N: I guess you're right. But I still prefer to have no child.

M: sure. You can fully enjoy your time together.
