同样,一个母亲会以“考验他的翅膀硬不硬”为由原谅儿子的行为,而父亲本是要严加管束的。 Similarly, a mother may excuse her son’s behavior as "testing his wings" when the father wants to restrict him.
西蒙完全象他父亲——姜黄色的头发和暴躁的脾气! Simon is his father's son all right –same ginger hair and violent temper!
西蒙和他父亲一样是个好演员,真是有其父必有其子。 Simon's as good an actor as his father was, he's really a chip off the old block.
