Parents and their children are very much alike. They sometimes look the same, feel the same and act the same. They often share the same value system, same beliefs and opinions, same lifestyle. This is also the case of my son and my husband. Prinii i copiii lor seamn foarte mult. Ei arat uneori la fel, simt la fel, acioneaz la fel. Adesea mprtesc acelai sistem de valori, aceleai convingeri i preri, acelai stil de via. Este i cazul fiului i soului meu.

Like Father, like Son

Cum e tatl e i fiul

Jim Patrick: Yes, you are right. It is unbelievable how many things they have in common, Peter and Al, when you look at them. (Da, ai dreptate. Este incredibil ct de multe lucruri au n comun, Peter i Al, cnd te uii la ei.) Minnie Jones: They are really handsome. They are both tall, well-built with short blond hair and blue eyes. Peter takes after his father in every way. (Sunt amndoi chipei. Sunt amndoi nali, bine fcui, cu prul scurt i blond i ochii albatri. Peter seamn cu tatl lui n toate privinele.) Jim Patrick: They are both good-looking men, I agree. And they are very much alike. (Sunt amndoi brbai chipei, sunt de acord. i seamn foarte mult.) Minnie Jones: Peter was a sweet child when he was little but I didnt imagine him turning into another Al. Now Im amazed of their resemblance. (Peter era un coplia dulce pe cnd era mic, dar nu mi-am imaginat c o s se transforme ntr-un alt Al. Acum sunt uluit de asemnarea lor.) Jim Patrick: But maybe they are different in other respects, arent they!? (Dar poate sunt diferii n alte privine, nu?) Minnie Jones: No, they arent. They share almost everything else. They think alike, feel alike, act alike. (Nu. mprtesc aproape tot. Gndesc la fel, simt la fel, acioneaz la fel.) Jim Patrick: Wow, like father, like son. (Cum e tatl e i fiul!) Minnie Jones: Exactly. When Peter is answering one of my questions I almost hear my husbands voice and thoughts. (Exact. Cnd Peter mi rspunde la o ntrebare parc aud vocea i gndurile soului meu.) Jim Patrick: They have to be different in some ways (Trebuie s fie diferii n unele privine...)

Minnie Jones: Well, I dont know what to say. Peter is as generous as his father, as careful as him, he even is as patient as Al. (Nu tiu ce s spun. Peter este la fel de generos ca tatl su, este la fel de atent i la fel de rbdtor ca Al.) Jim Patrick: So there is only one obvious difference: Peter is much younger than Al, isnt there? (Atunci exist o singur diferen evident: Peter este mult mai tnr dect Al, nu?) Minnie Jones: Yes. Peter also shares his fathers hobbies and talents. He is playing the piano and he is painting during weekends. (Da. Peter are i aceleai preferine i talente. Cnt la pian i picteaz la sfrit de sptmn.) Jim Patrick: Do they also share the shortcomings? (Au i aceleai defecte?) Minnie Jones: Unfortunately. Peter is as stubborn as his father. (Din nefericire. Peter este la fel de ncpnat ca tatl su.)
