Jingjing: Tell me, what kind of kid were you growing up? Did you get into a lot of trouble? Were you spoiled rotten?

京晶：跟我说说你小时候是一个什么样的孩子？经常惹麻烦吗？还是被宠坏了？

Jingjing: Really? Tell me some stories!

小高：我和朋友经常偷偷溜出房门，到别人家搞恶作剧，早上起来人们就会发现他们家门口的树上挂满了卫生纸。

Xiao Gao: Yeah, we got caught once.

Jingjing: So what happened?

京晶：然后发生什么事情了？

Xiao Gao: We had to clean up all of the toilet paper and make an apology.

小高：我们不得不清理干净所有的卫生纸，并且道歉。

Jingjing: That sounds like a slap on the wrist. I'd say you guys got off the hook pretty easy. Do you still get into trouble these days?

京晶：听起来不太糟啊，我觉得对你们的处罚实在太轻了。你们现在还会惹麻烦吗？
