  It interests me to watch the way children so often act against their parents’ ideas, while at the same time 1 their parents’, characteristics (特征). That is to say, the children grow up to 2 views different from their parents’, yet to have 3 personalities. There is a quarrel 4 on in the toy world at present 5 whether children should be 6 to have war toys. I don’t believe in encouraging war toys, but I do not see 7 point in forbidding them when I think of the 8 of my friend Harry.

  Harry is the 9 of a pair of strict parents who were totally against war. He was never allowed toy soldiers 10 a boy, never allowed toy guns. Harry grew up and went into the army, becoming a first-class soldier and 11 all sorts of military honors in a rather fierce unit. He became the opposite in 12 way of what his parents might have 13 of their son. And yet there is gentleness about Harry which shows a 14 personality. There is a sympathetic element (富于同情心的秉性) about the man which, I can see, 15 have come from his family. In spite of 16 things differently from our parents, a lot of the spirit gets passed on.

  Parents certainly have to 17 their children what they believe to be right, but it is not so much your ideas that children 18 as your example. Perhaps the 19 way to teach one’s child gentleness is not to forbid toy guns, but to be gentle in 20 everyday life.
