"Pester power" nghĩa là gì?


"Pester power" = năng lực quấy rầy -> nghĩa là trẻ em nài nỉ, khóc lóc, đòi bằng được bố mẹ mua đồ chơi mình muốn. 

Ví dụ
That was the day the pester power tap got turned to 11 and the floodgates opened, and it was only a matter of time before they got their own way.

Finally, enlist the children as water-conservation (tiết kiệm nước) police. There are loads of great online resources where they can learn how to reduce household water use. Then, use pester-power to make sure all of those no-cost behavioural changes happen. Check out Tap Tips for more information.

In 2019, children are ‘pestering’ for change and parents are listening. This isn’t pester power as we’ve known it for generations gone by, this is progressive (có tiến triển) and positive pester power. 

Pester power – when kids try to get their parents to buy something, or change their behaviour – might usually be associated with nagging (mè nheo) for lollies at the checkout, but in this case it could be working towards positive change instead.
