场景：小花和小虹是小华和小红的学妹，他们的父辈正是计划生育时代的产物，当他们看到这个消息就连忙分享给孩子们，让他们了解中国上个世纪80年代的历史。

Xiaohua：Xiaohong, I feel fed up with the so-called “social adjustment” policy.

小花：小虹，我受够了这所谓的“社会调剂”政策。

Xiaohong：It's obviously wrong and very inhumane.

小虹：这很明显是错误的，是非人道的。

Xiaohua：I thought the word “adjustment” was only designed for entrance exams for college or grad school. I was too simple, sometimes naive.

小花：我以前还认为“调剂”这个词是用在考大学和考研究生的时候用的。我太单纯了，有时也天真。

Xiaohong：You see, the boy's parents filed a petition for police in the county of Quanzhou to investigate their son's whereabouts after he was taken more than 22 years ago, under a one-child policy prevailing at the time.

小虹：你看，该男孩的父母向全州县警方提交了一份请愿书，要求警方调查他们的儿子22年前被抱走后的去向，当时正值独生子女政策盛行时期。

Xiaohua：My father was born during the only one-child rule. He told me the history of that period that authorities enforced family planning measures, including fines, to punish illegal births. And what's worse, people would lose their jobs if they had more than one child and were unable to pay the fine.

小花：我父亲就是独生子女政策下的产物。他告诉我那个时期的历史，当局实施计划生育措施，包括罚款，以惩罚非法生育。更糟糕的是，如果人们有不止一个孩子，而且无力支付罚款，他们就会失去工作。

Xiaohong: But the legacy of the one-child rule is still painfully felt by many parents who suffered for having multiple children. For some, the pain is still too much to bear.

小虹：但是，独生子女政策的后遗症仍然让许多因生了多个孩子而痛苦的父母感到痛苦。对一些人来说，痛苦仍然难以承受。
