WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“I can't use 'sightseeing' as an excuse to my dad; he'll definitely scold me for wasting time.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Filial Piety and Parental Authority

In traditional Chinese families, children are expected to prioritize 'proper duties' (zhengshi) over leisure, and seeking a strict father's permission for mere entertainment often invites scolding.
