爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

Nor was the American boy of 1870 a whit less cruel than is the American boy of 1920; and he was none the less loath to show that cruelty. This trait was evident at the first recess of the first day at school. At the dismissal, the brothers naturally sought each other, only to find themselves surrounded by a group of tormentors who were delighted to have such promising objects for their fun. And of this opportunity they made the most. There was no form of petty cruelty boys' minds could devise that was not inflicted upon the two helpless strangers. Edward seemed to look particularly inviting, and nicknaming him "Dutchy" they devoted themselves at each noon recess and after school to inflicting their cruelties upon him.

白话

1870年的美国男孩并不比1920年的更善良,而且他们毫不掩饰自己的残忍。上学第一天第一次课间休息,这种残忍就露了出来。放学时兄弟俩自然想凑到一起,却被一群专门找乐子的男孩围住。他们想尽各种小恶作剧欺负这两个无助的陌生人,尤其盯上了爱德华,给他起外号叫“荷兰佬”,每天中午和放学后都拿他取乐。这说明新来的孩子容易成为被欺负的目标,家长和老师要留意孩子放学后的情绪和伤痕,及早介入,而不是让孩子独自忍受。

上下文

博克在回忆录中记述自己初到美国学校第一天就遭到同学欺凌的经历。

今日一问

你或你认识的孩子有没有被起外号、被围堵的经历?当时大人可以怎样更早发现?
