吉姆:
Peter, I would like to ask you a question. You should give me a direct answer. 

皮特,我想问你个问题啊。你得直接回答。
皮特:
Ok,what kind of question? 

好,什么类型的问题?
吉姆:
Did your father spank you when you were young? 

你小 时候你父亲打过你吗?
皮特:
Of course. I was naughty. Tell you the truth, at that time I hated my father. 

当然了。我小的时候很淘气。说实话,那个时候,我很恨我父亲。
吉姆:
So did I. But a study said, the father spanked when he was young will not spank his own children. 

我也是。但是一项研究表明,小时候挨过打的父亲,不会再打自己的孩子。
皮特:
Oh.I do not believe it.In the future, I think I will do as my father did. 

哦,我不相信。我认为将来我也会跟我父亲一样揍我的孩子的。
吉姆:
I do not agree with you.I won't. It is hard to do that. 

我不同意你的看法。我不会打。那样子做,会很难的。
皮特:
Ha-ha. Let's wait and see. 

哈哈,让我们拭目以待吧。
吉姆:
Deal! 

成交!
