There is another intolerable difficulty, it is not from others, but a cruel reality you have to face: Your child is not the chosen one.

你怎么能这么说？死刑多么残酷！这种古老的刑罚，一点也不适合现在的社会，早该被废除了。其实大多数发达国家都在某种程度上废除了死刑，中国也该这样。

nǐ zěnme néng zhème shuō ？sǐxíng duōme cánkù ！zhèzhǒng gǔlǎo de xíngfá ，yīdiǎn yě bù shìhé xiànzài de shèhuì ，zǎo gāi bèi fèichú le 。qíshí dàduōshù fādáguójiā dōu zài mǒuzhǒng chéngdù shàng fèichú le sǐxíng ，Zhōngguó yě gāi zhèyàng 。

How can you say such a thing? The death penalty is so brutal. This kind of archaic punishment doesn't fit in at all with the society today. It should have been abolished a long time ago. Actually, the vast majority of developed countries have to some extent abolished capital punishment--China should too.

有个客户一个劲要请我们吃野味。他点了穿山甲、蜥蜴、娃娃鱼、猫头鹰，我之前都没好好看过这些动物，更别提吃了。而且，我觉得这样特别残酷，多可爱的动物，怎么忍心吃它们呢？

There was a client who was constantly trying to take us out for game foods. He ordered pangolin, lizard, giant salamander, and owl. I hadn't even seen these animals, let alone eaten them. And, I think eating such cute animals is really cruel. How can people bear to eat them?
