Bored translation:

Trying to Tear Down the Wall

I need to talk to you both.

Has something bad happened at school? Are you okay?

I’m fine, and school is going well. It’s not about that.

Then what happened to you?

Nothing happened to me. I just want to tell you that I still want to study art.

Again with the same thing? Didn’t you understand the last time that if you study that, you’ll starve to death? That you can only make a living from art if you’re the child of someone rich or well-connected? Wanting it isn’t enough. You won’t achieve anything doing something that won’t even put food on the table. We had already agreed that you were going to study architecture.

But I don’t want to design houses. I want to draw, I want to paint.

You can do that in your free time. As a career, we’ve already told you no. Realize that it’s not profitable. We’re doing this for your own good. Stop thinking about it. Get that idea out of your head. Forget it. That’s not a job.

But…

No! Understand once and for all! You are NOT going to study art!

But…

No! Go to your room!

But…

Stop insisting! It’s already enough that we let you do whatever you want with the walls in your room. Keep pushing and we’ll paint over them so you learn your lesson.

But…

Enough! Go to your room!
