Any parent of a young child will know that tantrumscan strike at any moment - and for any reason.

小孩儿的父母都知道，他们的宝贝会随时随刻由于各种原因闹脾气。

No matter how seemingly ridiculous to a rational adult, the cause of a toddler throwing a wobbly is varied¹ and uNPRedictable... and reasoning with them is usually fruitless.

无论这一切在一个理性的成年人眼里看起来有多可笑，一个牙牙学语的小盆友发脾气的原因千奇百怪且无法预测……而且通常同他们进行理论也是徒劳的。

One mother decided² to note down the reasons for every single tantrum her three-year-old daughter, or 'three-nager', threw in a 24-hour period.

一位母亲决定在24小时内记录下让她3岁女儿，或者说3岁''熊孩子''发脾气的每一个原因。
