what's puberty
One evening, in the midst of dinner preparation, our 10-year-old daughter asked, "Mommy, what's puberty?" My wife was rushed at the moment, so she suggested that Peggy look up the word in the dictionary, after which they could talk about it.
A few minutes later, Peggy returned. Her mother asked what the dictionary had said. "Puberty means," announced Peggy, "the earliest age at which a girl is able to bear children."
"What do you think of that?" my wife asked.
"I'm not sure," Peggy relied. "I've always been able to bear children. It's adults I can't bear.".
青春期
一天晚上，在準備晚飯的時候，我們十歲的女兒問：“媽媽，什么是青春期？”我的妻子此時正忙得不亦樂乎，所以她建議佩吉到字典上查這個詞，然后她們可以再討論它。
幾分鐘以后，佩吉回來了。她媽媽問字典上怎么說。
“青春期的意思是，”佩吉宣布：“一個女孩能忍受孩子的最早年齡。”
“你怎么想呢？”我妻子問。
“我不知道，”佩吉回答。“我總能忍受孩子。讓我忍受不了的是大人。
Note: bear children: 生孩子。bear 一詞也可作“忍受”講。
