不对。我翻译一下题目其实大家就知道了。我觉得这种需要联想的题目实在太恶心了。 The sense of delayed gratification, of working now for later pleasure, has helped shape the economic behavior of our society. However, that sense is no longer nurtured as consistently in our children as it once was. For example, it used to take a bit of patience to put together the toys that children got in cereal boxes; now the toys come from the boxes whole. 这种延迟的满意度,就是现在工作来换取后期快乐感的满意度,帮助改变我们社会的经济行为。然而,这种感觉已经不再存在于我们的孩子中了如果和过去相比较的话。比如说,(注意这里,这个例子实在恶心,想了我超级久)从前这需要花很长时间把谷物盒子中的玩具拼在一起(其实就是我们小时候吃那种膨化食品里面那种组装玩具,小时候不是热衷收集的么。。。)但是现在,这些盒子中的玩具是一整个的出现了。(就是说不需要拼了。就变成那种公仔模具了)
