Christophe: Hello, I am Christophe from Belgium, and this is Aiste from Lithuania. This is the question of the day: Should kids learn about personal finance? Aiste, what is your opinion about that?
克里斯托夫:大家好,我是克里斯托夫,来自比利时,这是艾斯蒂,来自立陶宛,今天的话题是:孩子们应该了解理财知识吗?艾斯蒂,你怎么看?

Aiste: Well, I think it should definitely learn about personal finance, so my opinion is that any kids shouldn't be given a lot of money, and shouldn't think that money just appears when you go to your mom or dad and say, " I want this. I want that - and - please give me money for that, so if the kid feels that money is a limited thing, I think that's the first step to learn about personal finance. What's your opinion, Christophe?
艾斯蒂:我认为绝对应该了解个人理财知识,我认为不应该给孩子们太多钱,不应该让孩子们认为要去管父母要钱,比如“我想要这个。我想要那个,请给我钱去买”,如果孩子们感觉钱是有限制的,那就是了解个人理财知识的第一步。你的看法呢,克里斯托夫?

Christophe: Wait! But you told me that when you were a small girl, you went to your daddy and you said 'Daddy, can I have money, please?' and it was all the time like that.
克里斯托夫:等等!可是你跟我说过,你小时候会去向你爸爸要钱,你会说:“爸爸,能给我点儿钱吗?”而且你一直是那样做的。

Aiste: Yes, but my amount was kind of limited, and every litas I got, that's the currency in my country, every litas was counted for a certain purpose, so my dad knew exactly that my transportation costs would be two litas and I had five litas for my lunch during the day, and that was it. So it was really ... because I used to go to school for a kind of locked time and I had to eat lunch, and so because he knew that, I couldn't have any extra money that I would use that for for example, if I would need some puzzle, or I would like to go somewhere, I couldn't actually save unless I didn't eat. So the money was actually limited, so I could feel that this was not just get as much as you want.
艾斯蒂:对,不过我的钱是有限制的,我们国家的货币是立特,我拿到的每枚立特都有特定的用途,我爸爸清楚地知道我的交通费是2立特,午饭需要5立特,就是这样。以前我上学有固定的时间,而且我要吃午饭,所以他知道,我没有多余的钱去干别的事情,即使我想买拼图,或者我想去其他地方,那我也没办法攒钱,除非我不吃饭。所以我的零花钱是有限制的,我能感觉到,并不是你想要多少就能得到多少。

Christophe: So what you're saying is that you learned about personal finance?
克里斯托夫:你的意思是,你学到了个人理财知识?

Aiste: Yes, I think so.
艾斯蒂:对,我想是的。

Christophe: So that's good.
克里斯托夫:那很好。

Aiste: Well, probably.
艾斯蒂:可能吧。
