用英语谈论家庭

一个人可能有"brother"或者"sister"。我们也可以叫他们"siblings"。"Mom" 和"Dad"是对"parents"的称呼。他们也可以有一个或者两个"sibling"。妈妈的姐妹是"Aunt";爸爸的兄弟是"Uncle"。如果他们有孩子，他们是你的 "cousins"。

John: "Do you have any siblings?"

你有兄弟姐妹吗?

Sam: "No, I am an only child. What about you?"

没有，我是独生子。你呢?

John: "I have 2 brothers and a sister!"

我有2个兄弟和1个姐妹。

Sam: "Wow, a big family... I would have liked a sister"

哇噢，好大一家子...我也想要有1个姐妹。

John: "Yes, my brothers are both married and have kids. Family gatherings can be quite lively"

是啊，我的哥哥们都结婚了，有孩子了。家庭聚会总是很活泼热闹。

Parents of parents are called "grandparents" and the families of people we marry are our "-in-laws". The person you used to be married to is an "ex". And should you remain married it's simply "husband" or "wife".

父母的父母叫做"grandparents"，和我们结婚的人的家里人是我们的"-in-laws"。你之前的结婚对象叫做"ex"。如果你结婚了，就是 "husband" 或者"wife"。

Last, what does your family do for fun together? You might want to talk about "public holidays", "hobbies" and "likes". Maybe your family enjoys "picnicking" or "riding bikes".

最后想问问你，你们家平时一起参加的娱乐活动是什么呀?你可能会谈轮到"public holidays", "hobbies"和"likes"。可能你的家庭喜欢"picnicking"或者"riding bikes"。
