ST Instance Transcription:
Eleanor: And you have to remind them that children are not allowed
to work unless they completed the standard three. It was of the
main battles we fought, and won.

Michael: Which means they’ll have to be at least 10 years old.
It’s absurd. The men will never have it.
Philip: Michael, please.
Michael: Why don’t you tell her that we need our children
salaries, eh? We’re all happy when they work!
Philip: Michael, this is unacceptable. I’m not having it. Enough.
TT Instance Transcription:
Eleanor: E informate tutti che i bambini non possono lavorare se
non hanno completato il terzo corso a scuola. È stata una
battaglia, ma l’abbiamo vinta.
Michael: Ma questo significa che devono avere 10 anni almeno. È
assurdo. Gli uomini non lo accetteranno.
Philip: Michael, ti prego.
Michael: Perché non le dite che ci serve lo stipendio dei figli?
Siamo felici se lavorano!
Philip: Michael, è una cosa inaccettabile. Per favore, calmati.
