|
你小時候是怎麼過生日的？
|

|
The epoch has changed. Long time ago, people can’t forget elder generation’s birthday, but at the moment, the children’s birthday is a big event in the family.
|
是呀，現在每家孩子少，自然就珍貴。而孩子是希望、是未來的主人麻。
|
Yes. There are no many children in a family, so they are valuable, and the children are hope, they are also the host in the future.
|
無論你紀念不紀念，或以什麼方式紀念，生日都是個人一生中的大日子。
|
The birthday is a personal day for anyone no matter you celebrate it or not, and you celebrate it with any ways.
|
我同意。另外，任何人，不論年齡，都希望有人分享生日和收到生日禮物。
|
I agree. In additional any one older young both like some body take time to shear one’s birthday, and get gifts.
|
那當然。
|
Certainly right!
|
下月是你的六十大壽，打算怎麼慶祝呀？
|
Next month is your 60th significant birthday. How plan-ed to celebrate?
|
我還沒想好，遲點告訴你。
