孩子们什么时候开始有自己的想法？

Answer：
Well, to be honest, I’m not an expert onchildren. I don’t have any children and I haven’t had much experience of raising young children. So, I’mtaking a guesshere, and I would say from about two years old.
I think once a child starts walking and talking, they also start thinking and imagining. I know from mylimited experienceof toddlersthat their personalities can be very different. If this is the case,then I imagine their ideas would be different too.
What’s quite interesting is that I have a brother, who is one year older than me. We were both raisedexactly the same. We went to the same schools, lived in the same house, and visited the same places. Yet our personalities, hobbies, and thoughts are really different. You could say we are as different as chalk and cheese.

好吧，说实话，我不是儿童专家。我没有孩子，也没有多少抚养小孩的经验。所以，我来猜猜看，大概是从两岁开始。
我认为一旦孩子开始走路和说话，他们也开始思考和想象。从我有限的学步经历中，我知道他们的性格可能会有很大的不同。如果是这样的话，我想他们的想法也会不同。
有趣的是我有一个哥哥，比我大一岁。我们俩的成长过程完全一样。我们去了同一所学校，住在同一所房子里，去了同样的地方。然而，我们的性格、爱好和想法却完全不同。你可以说我们截然不同。
