同仁同意（净值）： +2parents are all basically like that 说明： 1: What's wrong with your father? 2: Parents are all basically like that, just that he's a tad extreme. 当老: more or less means 当父母, i.e. 当父母的心都一样 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 59 mins (2013-11-23 03:46:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For example, "两老" refers to 父母. Here, "老" also refers to 父母. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-11-23 04:29:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just to elaborate a little further: 当老的心都一样 -> /当老（父母）的/心都一样 当父母的 = 为人父母的 (literally: as parents) => 为人父母的，心都一样，只是（他）有点极端（罢）了。 This is my reading. FYI. |
