拿走孩子的壓歲錢恰當麼？Is it Appropriate to Take Away kid’s New Year Money
最近，一個大學女孩提出的一個問題成爲了討論的熱點。“我爸媽拿走我的壓歲錢合法麼”？衆所周知，在中國的傳統裏，孩子在春節期間能從父母，親戚和父母的朋友那裏得到壓歲錢。然後父母在孩子拿到紅包之後拿走全部或者大部分的壓歲錢也是很正常的事情。有些人認爲這樣不恰當，有些人持相反意見。對我來說，我同意後者。
Firstly, I think it is better that parents keep the money for kids. Since lots of kids are too young to have a good consumption plan. They might buy many toys or other stuff they want for a long time as soon as they have bunch of money. It’s bad for kids to establish a correct value. I think it is acceptable that parents take all the New Year money from young kids. And when they grow older, parents can take a part of it, and teach the kid how to become a rational consumer.
第一，我認爲父母幫孩子存着壓歲錢比較好。因爲很多孩子都太小，還沒有好的消費計劃。他們很可能在一得到很多錢就去買一堆他們想要的玩具和其他東西。這樣不利於孩子樹立正確的價值觀。我認爲父母拿走小孩子全部的壓歲錢是能接受的。在他們長大一些後，父母可以拿一部分，然後剩下的用來教孩子如何成爲一個理性的消費者。
Secondly, I don’t see an eye to eye when the college girl said her parents take away her money is illegal. She thinks the money is given from others, and it belongs to her. Her parents’ behavior is depriving her private property. However, the Chinese Spring Festival traditional is when someone give red packet to your child, you have to give almost the same denomination to their kid, and since the college girl is no income student, therefore, when her mother said take away the money to pay her high college tuition fees is totally appropriate.
第二，那個大學女孩說她父母拿走她的壓歲錢是違法的，我無法贊同。她認爲那些錢是別人給她的，是屬於她的。她父母的行爲是侵犯了她的個人財產。然而，中國的春季傳統就是別人給你孩子多少錢的紅包，你就得給回他孩子大致面額的紅包。鑑於那個大學女孩是個毫無收入的學生，因此她媽媽說要拿她的壓歲錢去付她那高昂的大學學費是完全合適的。
To sum up, it is better that parents save New Year money for kids. It is not only could save household spending, but also could stop kids from dipping into their purse.
總而言之，父母幫孩子存着壓歲錢是好的。這不僅能夠節省家庭開支，還能防止孩子亂花錢。
