whining

And the brattish whining is distinctly unattractive.

显然他那些小孩般抱怨也不讨人喜欢。

Stop whining, child!

孩子，别哭哭啼啼！

The students may be whining in their hearts, thinking that I nag too much and that I am such a spoilsport to lecture them to behave themselves before they can eat.

也许学生在嘀咕，嫌我唠叨，嫌我扫兴，吃东西前还要听训话守规则。
