“三天一頓打，孩子進北大“，近來，一名將體罰(corporal punishment)視為家教黃金準則的“狼爸”受到人們廣泛的關注，同時引發了社會各界對于棍棒教育對與錯的激烈論戰。
Xiao Baiyou, 47, recently published a book about his fathering technique, which involves beating his children with a rattan cane when they break his rules. The businessman has drawn criticism.
47歲的蕭百佑最近出版了一本講述自己為父之道的書，書中講到一旦孩子們違反家規，便會吃上一頓藤條鞭打。這位商人也因此招來批評。 為父之道：fathering technique
違反規矩：break the rule
引發批評：draw criticism
Businessman says hitting his kids got them into top college.
他聲稱，正是棍棒教育使得自己的孩子都進入了一流大學。 The list of rules in Xiao Baiyou`s house is endless: No Coca Cola while surfing the Internet, no air conditioner even in the summer, no pocket money, and definitely no socializing or extra curricular activities.
蕭百佑的家規遠非三言兩語能講完的：上網時不許喝可樂，甚至是夏天也不能吹空調，沒有零用錢，自然也沒有任何社交和課外活動。 extra curricular activities 課外活動，有沒有很熟悉啊？
上網不能喝可樂，夏天不能開空調，沒有零花錢，沒有課外活動⊙﹏⊙，可見家規多么嚴格！我見到的許多孩子是：零花錢用不完，常年開空調，可樂隨手捧，ipad隨便買。 His four children are not even allowed to open his refrigerator without getting permission.
在未經允許的情況下，他的四個子女甚至連冰箱門都不能打開。 未經允許：without getting permission The punishment for rule-breaking is more often than not a whack with a rattan cane.
而往往違反家規要面對的懲罰，可不僅僅是藤條鞭打那樣簡單了。 more often than not 多半是。。 "A father is like a general, and there are rules to abide by and punishment to shoulder if they are broken," said the 47-year-old. "Nowadays Chinese parents are too soft; they have abandoned the traditional Chinese way of good parenting."
這位47歲的父親說道：“父親就像是將軍，立下的規矩一旦被違反，就要接受懲罰�，F今，中國的父母太過溫柔，他們摒棄了中國傳統的優良家教方式。” 承擔懲罰：shoulder the punishment 摒棄了中國傳統的優良家教方式：abandon the traditional Chinese way of good parenting. abandon在新三第十課《The loss of the Titanic》也有吧？可見新三的許多單詞是日常英語中十分常用的，大家都記住了哦！
Xiao, who was nicknamed "Wolf Dad" in a recently published memoir, even credits his stern parenting style. for the fact that three of his offspring now attend Peking University, one of China`s most prestigious educational institutions.
在最新出版的自傳中，蕭百佑被冠以“狼爸”的綽號。他的三個孩子均被中國最高學府之一——北京大學錄取，他也因為這一事實而格外信奉這種棍棒教育。 sb. was nicknamed XXX 綽號是 According to Xiao`s philosophy, children under 18 are like animals and cannot distinguishing right from wrong.
依據蕭百佑的觀點，未滿18歲的孩子就像動物一樣無法分辨對錯。 分辨對錯：distinguishing right from wrong "Only through brutal means can they be taught," he said when China Daily caught up with him at one of his Beijing homes last week.
上周，他在自己位于北京的一處住所內接受了《中國日報》的采訪，他說：“只有通過這種嚴厲的方式才能管教好他們。” He said his eldest son, Xiao Yao, 21, received most of the canings that were dished out - and each time his three sisters were told to stand and watch.
他說21歲的長子蕭堯鞭子挨得最多，三個妹妹每次都被叫到一旁站著看哥哥挨打。 "The eldest should take the lead," he added in his usual booming voice. Xiao Baiyou grew up in Guangzhou, capital of South China`s Guangdong province, and studied finance at Ji`nan University. He later went on to build his wealth through real-estate investments and luxury goods.
他用自己一向洪亮的聲音補充說道：“長子應該起到表率作用。”蕭百佑在廣東省省會廣州長大，考入暨南大學學習金融。之后，他通過投資房地產和奢侈品行業而發家致富。 帶頭，做表率：take the lead He recalls being whipped thousands of times as a child by his mother - and says he is grateful for it.
他回憶到兒時被母親打了無數次，并表示自己很感激母親這樣做。 有其母必有其子啊，看來這一家族世世代代都是“暴君”呢！ "Only when you are beaten frequently as a child can you learn discipline and etiquette," he said. "Bearing the pains helps strengthen your mind, build up your character and develop a strong will."
他說道：“只有在孩提時經常被打，你才能學會紀律和禮節。受苦會增強你的心智，塑造品格并培養出強韌的意志。” 除了”只有在孩提時經常被打” 的觀點不十分認同外，整段都是精華。
The businessman added that he plans to pass on his tradition to all of his offspring, and has set an ambitious target of having more than 12 grandsons with postdoctoral degrees.
他還表示，他計劃將自己的這一傳統傳承給自己所有的子女，他還雄心勃勃地給自己設定了在孫輩中培養出12位博士后的目標。 把傳統傳承給。。。pass on one’s tradition to … "As the only male in the Xiao family line, I feel obliged to cultivate a whole family of masters," he said. "To beat the kids when they violate the rules is a good method."
他說：“身為蕭氏家族唯一的男性，我有責任栽培出一個碩士家族。當孩子違反家規時，打是一個好方法。” 我有責任干嘛干嘛：I feel obliged to…，這不是新概念三冊《A puma at large》的精彩短語嗎？ Since releasing his memoir, which is entitled So, Brothers and Sisters of Peking University, Xiao has come under intense fire from parenting experts, some of whom called him a "ferocious and savage" father.
自從他名為《所以，北大兄妹》的自傳出版以來，蕭百佑受到了教育專家們猛烈的炮轟，其中有些人稱他為“兇殘的野蠻父親”。 收到猛烈炮轟：under intense fire "Calling corporal punishment the `essence of a traditional Chinese education` is simply twisting the truth," said Zhu Qiang, an associate professor at Nanjing Normal University, to China Daily.
南京師范大學副教授朱強（音譯）在接受《中國日報》采訪時表示：“將體罰稱為‘中國傳統教育精髓’，這顯然是在歪曲事實。” 體罰：corporal punishment 扭曲事實：twist the truth
副教授：associate professor
南京師范大學：Nanjing Normal University
In response to the criticism, Xiao simply said that history will prove him right.
面對眾多批評聲，蕭百佑只是簡單地回應說，歷史將證明他是對的。 面對批評：in response to the criticism 面對表揚：in response to the praise
Although he said he has stopped beating the children now at college, he insisted he will still interfere in their life, especially when it comes to studies and marriage.
他說雖然對于讀大學的孩子自己已經不再實施體罰，但堅稱自己仍然會干涉他們的生活，尤其是涉及到他們的學習和婚姻時。 干涉，干預：interfere in/with Don’t interfere in other people’s affairs. 不要干涉他人事務。
His three eldest children, aged from 15 to 21, were not even allowed to make friends until they went to college.
他三個最年長的孩子，最小的15歲，最大的21歲，直到升入大學后才被允許交朋友。 "There`s no reason for them to make friends, let alone go on dates," Xiao said. "Friends are there to help and be made use of; this is something you cannot understand before you go to university." He also warned that he will turn away any child or grandchild who turns out to be homosexual, as he fears it will "ruin the reputation of the family".
蕭百佑說：“他們沒什么理由去交朋友，更別說是約會了。朋友應該能幫得上忙或是有用處的。這些事情要你上了大學后才會明白。”他還警告他們，一旦兒孫輩中有人經證實是同性戀者的話，他便會與其斷絕關系，因為他擔心這樣會“損害家族聲譽”。 朋友應該能幫得上忙或是有用處的：Friends are there to help and be made use of. 對朋友關系進行了赤裸裸的解剖。 ruin the reputation 破壞名聲
Not just experts have been divided by Xiao`s parenting style. Many members of the public have also weighed into the debate to offer praise or criticism.
對于蕭百佑的家教方式，不僅專家們內部分為兩派，許多民眾也紛紛參與熱議，對此褒貶不一。 Liu Shibin, a 48-year-old taxi driver in Tianjin, said he believes the "wolf dad way" is too extreme.
來自天津，48歲的出租車司機劉仕斌（音譯）認為“狼爸”的教育方式太過極端。 "You spend a quarter of your life as a child, which is a lot," said Liu, who has a teenage daughter. "As a parent I hope my child will have happy memories of childhood."
劉仕斌有一個十幾歲大的女兒，他說：“童年占據一個人一生的四分之一，比例很大。作為家長，我希望自己的孩子能夠擁有一段快樂的童年記憶。” Xiao, however, dismisses the idea that his children are not happy, adding that the word "wolf" describes his character perfectly. "Wolves look ferocious and brutal, yet they have great wisdom and are exceptionally tender to their cubs," he said. "It`s just like me: My brutality is all out of love."而蕭百佑則否認了膝下子女不快樂的這一觀點，并稱“狼”這個詞非常準確地描述了自己的性格特征。 他說道：“雖然狼看起來兇惡殘忍，但它們擁有非凡的智慧并且對幼崽格外地憐愛，就像我一樣：我的無情全部都出于愛。” |
