Why Chinese Mothers Are Superiorという記事の日本語訳を教えてください。よろしくお願いします。
A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what these parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it's like inside the family, and whether they could do it too. Well, I can tell them, because I've done it. Here are some things my daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were never allowed to do:
I'm using the term "Chinese mother" loosely. I know some Korean, Indian, Jamaican, Irish and Ghanaian parents who qualify too. Conversely, I know some mothers of Chinese heritage, almost always born in the West, who are not Chinese mothers, by choice or otherwise. I'm also using the term "Western parents" loosely. Western parents come in all varieties.
All the same, even when Western parents think they're being strict, they usually don't come close to being Chinese mothers. For example, my Western friends who consider themselves strict make their children practice their instruments 30 minutes every day. An hour at most. For a Chinese mother, the first hour is the easy part. It's hours two and three that get tough.
Despite our squeamishness about cultural stereotypes, there are tons of studies out there showing marked and quantifiable differences between Chinese and Westerners when it comes to parenting. In one study of 50 Western American mothers and 48 Chinese immigrant mothers, almost 70% of the Western mothers said either that "stressing academic success is not good for children" or that "parents need to foster the idea that learning is fun." By contrast, roughly 0% of the Chinese mothers felt the same way. Instead, the vast majority of the Chinese mothers said that they believe their children can be "the best" students, that "academic achievement reflects successful parenting," and that if children did not excel at school then there was "a problem" and parents "were not doing their job."
補足
出典教材の訳は「たとえ両親が反対しても彼らは結婚するでしょう」とあって混乱した次第です。 「たとえ両親が反対したとしても、彼らは結婚するのでしょう」の方がわかりやすいと思いました。 なぜなら、教材の訳で両親は反対しているのか否かの状況がわからないからです。 結婚しているふたりなら、 ●"They would have get married even if their parents had opposed it." 「たとえ反対されていたとしても、結婚していたでしょう」→仮定法過去ですね。 未だ結婚してないふたりなら、２方向‥‥。 ●”They would get married even if their parents opposed it.” 「たとえ両親が反対したとしても、彼らは結婚するんでしょう」 （親は反対していない。wouldは妄想） ●”They will get married even if their parents oppose it.” 「たとえ両親がそれに反対するとしても、彼らは結婚します。」 （未来は真っ白。willは意思） 仮定法、理解しているつもりでも、やっぱり難しく、 まだまだ自分には慣れが必要だなと思いました。 お礼が遅くなってすみませんでした！
