To do the minimum to get by

“The children are just lazy. They will do the minimum to get by.” Or “Most of them hate to read. I have to drag my students through every unit."

THE BOOK WHISPERER里的一句话。说孩子们总是很懒,能少做就少做。有意思的表达是do the minimum to get by,汉语里我们习惯说“能不做就不做,能少做就少做”。

其实想想也正常,别说孩子了,大人们不还是一个样。所以我说 it's not fair to judge students like that since it's the humanity to do the minimun to get by.

后半句说drag my students through every unit.逼着学生学。学生难做,老师也不容易。
