媽媽經(jīng)常會(huì)跟孩子們說“表現(xiàn)好點(diǎn)！”，“乖乖的哦”，這句話用英語怎么說？
1.behave: to do what people tell
you and not cause any trouble - use this especially about children
備注：''behave''常用于口語中。
例：
If you two don't behave, I'm taking you
straight home. （如果你們倆不給我乖乖的，我就馬上帶你們回家?。?/span>
behave yourself (=behave well)
Make sure you behave yourselves when we
visit Grandma. （在奶奶家的時(shí)候，你們一定要乖乖的?。?/span>
?
2.well-behaved: someone who is
well-behaved does not cause any trouble and does what other people tell them to
do - use this especially about children, pets, or large groups of people
例：
Can I bring my dog? She's very well-behaved.
（我能帶我的狗狗來嗎？她很乖的。）
a well-behaved child（很乖的小孩）
The crowd was noisy but well-behaved. （這群人雖吵，但是很有秩序不惹事。）
近義詞：
well-brought up: a child or young adult who is well-brought up always behaves well
because their parents have taught them to be polite
例：
They are well-brought-up children, and have
a great respect for their teachers. （他們都是很有教養(yǎng)的乖孩子，很尊敬老師。）
?
3.good: if a child is good , he or
she does not cause trouble and does what he or she is told to do
例：
I was always very good at school. （我在學(xué)校向來表現(xiàn)很好。）
He's a good little boy. （這個(gè)小男孩很乖。）
be good!
(=used to tell a child to behave well)

?
4.be on your best behaviour: to
make a special effort to behave well by doing and saying the right things and
being very polite, because you know other people are watching you
備注：英式英語中寫作''be
on your best behaviour''，美式英語中寫作''be on your best behavior''。
例：
Dinner was very formal, with everyone on
their best behavior. （那是個(gè)正式的晚宴，大家都盡力讓自己舉止得體。）
The children were all on their best
behavior at the museum. （參觀博物館的時(shí)候，孩子們都表現(xiàn)得很好。）
《老爸老媽浪漫史》S01E15對(duì)話：
情境：Ted的新女友Victoria要來跟Ted的朋友們一起玩，在Victoria到來之前，Ted囑咐大家一些“注意事項(xiàng)”。
Ted:?Okay, I wanna lay down some
ground rules for tonight. Barney, I actually like Victoria... a lot, so don't
say anything embarrass... Don't say anything. And guys, I haven't exactly told
Victoria that I used to have a kind of thing for Robin, so if we could just
avoid the...
Barney:?Well, well, well. How rich. You
make me promise to be on my best behavior around your girlfriend, yet,
you have been lying to her since day one.
大意：
Ted：聽我說，今晚我先定幾個(gè)規(guī)矩。Barney，我非常非常喜歡Victoria，所以別講什么難聽的……干脆別講話得了。還有你們，我沒告訴Victoria我以前喜歡Robin，所以盡量不要提到……
Barney：哼哼，想得美。你讓我答應(yīng)要在你女朋友面前表現(xiàn)得體，但是你自己卻從第一天開始就對(duì)她撒謊。
?
5.stay out of trouble: to try not
to behave badly, especially because you do not want to be noticed or caught
例：
Have a good time, boys, but try to stay out
of trouble. （孩子們，好好玩啊，乖乖的啊，別惹禍！）
If I stay out of trouble till June, my
parents will take me to Florida. （如果我一直好好表現(xiàn)，6月份我爸媽就會(huì)帶我去佛羅里達(dá)。）
