以下是整理的《英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)話題:有女兒的父母更幸?!?,希望大家喜歡!
    A recent survey showed that parents of adult daughters are happier than those with sons, when their children are aged between 24-30.
    Is that so? Is it new?
    Parents who have sons feel less happy than those who have daughters aged 17 to 30, according to research about children's gender and their parents' happiness, reported sx.xinhuanet.com on Sunday.
    According to the report, the children's gender didn't show significant influence on their parents' happiness before they reached adulthood, but that the happiness of parents with sons reduces remarkably compared with those with daughters when children are aged between 17 and 30, especially between ages 24 to 30.
    One main reason comes from the Chinese tradition that the mother of the young woman usually requires her future son-in-law to prepare a house for their marriage, which brings financial pressure to the young man and his family. 一個(gè)主要原因是按照中國(guó)的傳統(tǒng),岳母通常要求未來(lái)的女婿結(jié)婚要有房子,這對(duì)年輕人和他們的家庭來(lái)說(shuō)是個(gè)不小的經(jīng)濟(jì)負(fù)擔(dān)。
    Usually, a young man's parents naturally share their son's burden when he needs to buy a house to get married.通常,當(dāng)年輕人需要結(jié)婚買(mǎi)房子的時(shí)候,一般來(lái)講是有兒子的父母要分擔(dān)經(jīng)濟(jì)壓力。
    The report found that the happiness of parents with sons falls when real estate prices rise.報(bào)告顯示當(dāng)房產(chǎn)價(jià)格上升時(shí),有兒子的父母的幸福感值會(huì)有所下降。
    Also, more and more children choose to live apart from their parents when they reach adulthood, so boys' ability to do physical labor in the household becomes irrelevant to their parents.同時(shí),越來(lái)越多的子女成年后會(huì)選擇和父母分開(kāi)住,因此,男孩的在家庭勞動(dòng)方面的能力和父母的關(guān)系就不大了。
    Many parents notice that their girls are equally competitive against boys in both academics and career advancement, and that girls in general are more thoughtful and considerate than boys.
