Nowadays, there is often a lack of understanding between parents and children. Children always complain that their parents are out of date, while parents can’t approve of what their children say and do. Thus, a big generation gap is formed.
如今，往往是缺乏了解父母与子女之间。孩子们总是抱怨他们的父母都是过时的，而父母并不赞同他们的孩子说的和做的。因此，形成一个大的.代沟。
The gap remains wide for many reasons. Children want to be free to choose their own friends, select their own classes in school, plan their own future, earn and spend their own money, and generally run their own life in a more independent way than many parents allow. Also, young children wish to be understood by their parents, but most parents don’t quite understand their children. They regard it as their responsibility to teach their offspring traditional beliefs. They want them to be obedient and do well in school. Therefore, misunderstanding often arise from parents’ tendency to interfere in children’s daily activities.
产生代沟的原因有很多。孩子们想要自由的选择自己的朋友，选择在学校自己的班级，规划自己的未来，自己挣钱自己花，和一般运行自己的更独立的生活方式比父母允许的。同时，年轻的孩子们希望能够得到父母的，但大多数父母不太了解他们的孩子。他们认为这是他们教他们的后代的传统信仰的责任。他们想让他们听话，在学校做得很好。因此，误解往往从父母倾向于干涉孩子的日常活动。
In my opinion, most problems between parents and children could be solved by joint efforts of both sides to enhance mutual understanding.
在我看来，父母和子女间的代沟问题可以通过双方的共同努力，增进相互理解的解决。
