【在生活中學習語言】《中英對照讀新聞》School teaches children how to blow noses 學校教兒童如何擤鼻涕

◎羅彥傑

The five- to 11-year-old children at Broad Oak Primary School in Manchester have been shown a DVD telling them the right and wrong ways to act when they have a cold.

曼徹斯特寬橡小學給5至11歲兒童看一片DVD，教他們什麼是正確與錯誤的處理感冒方式。

But one parent condemned the exercise as "a complete waste of time".

但一名家長譴責這項活動「根本是浪費時間」。

The parent added："I send my kids to school to learn, not for someone to show them how to blow their nose."

這名家長補充說：「我把我的小孩們送到學校來學習，而不是要某人教他們如何擤鼻涕。」

Pupils have also been asked to look at a Kleenex-sponsored website at home with their parents, called Sneezesafe, to help them understand cold germs and how they are spread.

學生們也被要求在家裡要和家長們一起瀏覽「可麗舒」贊助的網站，該網站稱為「安全打噴涕」，以幫助他們了解感冒細菌及其如何擴散。

Aimed at four- to six-year-olds, it tells the story of two schoolchildren characters who get colds, and how they try to stop them being spread.

這項活動鎖定的是4至6歲的兒童，敘述兩名感冒的學童，及他們如何試著防止感冒的傳播。

Under the heading ’Tissues to the rescue!’, children are told："Nathan still has a runny nose, but now he knows that sniffing is not very nice. And Nathan is not going to wipe his nose on his sleeve. He’s going to blow his nose with a tissue."

在標題「救急的面紙！」底下，孩子們被告知：「奈森仍在流鼻涕，但現在他知道抽鼻涕不是很雅觀。而且奈森不會用袖子擦鼻涕。他會用面紙擤鼻涕。」
