 这两天想了很久很久,关于电击疗法的问题,心里有些矛盾。这两天想了很久很久,关于电击疗法的问题,心里有些矛盾。大部分有良知有见识的人都很反对这种做法,认为这属于为父不仁,野蛮愚昧,作为旁观者,我十分赞同这种说法。把自己的孩子亲自送上受刑台,与禽兽何异。然后,作为一个形象思维能力不算太弱的人,我开始想象,如果我是一个父亲,由于自己的愚昧和疏忽,把孩子管教成一个畜生:没日没夜地上网,偷东西,为了赚点网费甚至抢劫勒索同学,继而殴打母亲……假设它已经到了这副田地,而且,我又根本不知道如何沟通,软的硬的,什么都试过,通通没用,那么
      我很可能会送它坐上电击台!!!  
      说到这里,我想起了我的狗,我可怜的keroro,由于我没受过专业的训狗训练,导致它从小就随地便溺。每次它在房间里小便后,我就揍它几巴掌,久而久之,它形成了错误的条件反射——小便是危险的事!于是,不管屋里屋外,它只要有尿意,就狂吠,意思是“我也不想这样的,可是哥们实在忍不住了……”
  看着它可怜的眼神,我哭笑不得,算了,尿就尿吧,我认了,勤着点儿擦地就是了。
  日后等我有了孩子,一定吸取这个教训,提前半年开始研究教育方式,管生不管教,最后吃苦的,一定是自己。
       养孩子前,先养只笨狗试试。要是连狗都驯不利索,就先别考虑驯人了。

译文: Who's to Blame for the Bad Doggie?

 

I've been thinking quite a lot these days about "electroshock" and feels sort of ambivalent. Most people of conscience and judgment are against the therapy and claim that the parents who impose this on their children are appallingly cruel, barbarous and ignorant. I should first admit, that as a bystander, I approve this accusation. Electroshocking one's own children is none like the behaviors of a sound man. However, as a man not totally unimaginative, I can't help thinking, that if I am a father and for the sake of my own ignorance and negligence of teaching, my child become a young punk, surfing the Internet night and day, pilfering, blackmailing his classmates for spendings on online games, and even abusing his mother...If he has degenerated into such a state and in reality I cannot figure out how to communicate with him,  having tried every possilble way that turn out to be in vain, then...

I may probably choose electroshock! 

 It reminds me of my dog, my poor little guy, Keroro. It pees everywhere since it was born due to my unprofessional dog training skills. I remember that everytime the dog peed in rooms, I thrashed it. As time passes, a false conditioned reflex gradually take form in its mind- Peeing is a dangerous behavior! Now, whether in or out of the house, the dog barks hysterically as long as it wants to pee, seemingly to mean that "I did not plan to do that, but I just cannot bear it anymore!"

Seeing its miserable state, I feel so tangled inside. Now better let it be, you pee wherever you want to. It requires nothing more than patience to wipe the  floor where the dog goes into its "routine".

 Now I have learned a lesson from this and provided that my wife is pregnant someday, I must begin studying teaching methods 6 months before the baby comes into the world. You give birth and it's your obligation to love it, parent it, educate it. If you don't, it will be you who is doomed to suffer.

Before raising a kid, keep a dog. If you are not even a qualified dog trainer, I see no point for you to be a parent.
