奥里森·斯威特·马登：向前进·摘录 301
奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
Only a Dickens can write the history of "Boy Slavery," of boys whose aspirations and longings have been silenced forever by ignorant parents; of boys persecuted as lazy, stupid, or fickle, simply because they were out of their places; of square boys forced into round holes, and oppressed because they did not fit; of boys compelled to pore over dry theological books when the voice within continually cried "Law," "Medicine," "Art," "Science," or "Business"; of boys tortured because they were not enthusiastic in employments which they loathed, and against which every fiber of their being was uttering perpetual protest.

白话
只有狄更斯这样的作家，才能写出“男孩奴隶”的历史：那些被无知父母扼杀梦想的男孩；因为不在合适位置而被骂懒惰、愚蠢或善变的男孩；被强行塞进不合适模具、因不合身而受压迫的男孩；内心一直呼唤法律、医学、艺术、科学或商业，却被逼着啃枯燥神学书的男孩；被迫做自己厌恶的工作、每个细胞都在抗议却因不热情而受折磨的男孩。这些悲剧提醒我们，别用“为你好”逼孩子走你选的路。
上下文
马登在书中批判父母强迫孩子从事不适合的职业，称之为“男孩奴隶”。

你或你身边的人，有没有被逼着做不适合自己的事？可以怎么改变？
