荷兰奇特的夏季仪式:放小孩在黑暗森林中迷路
Far from the land of helicopter parenting, getting ‘dropped’ in the forest is
a beloved scouting tradition.
跟出产直升机父母的国家不一样,在荷兰被“遗弃”在森林里是受欢迎的野外求生训练。
AUSTERLITZ, the Netherlands — Shortly after 10 p.m. on a recent night, a car ca
me to a stop at the edge of the woods. The door opened to release three children
: towheaded boys of 12 and 15, and a 12-year-old girl with dark pigtails and an
emoji-covered backpack. Then the driver threw the car into gear and sped away, g
ravel crunching under its tires.
半夜一辆车停到树林旁的小路,丢下2个12/15岁男孩跟一个12岁马尾女孩之后疾驶而走。
This is the Dutch scouting tradition known as a “dropping,” in which groups of
children, generally pre-teenagers, are deposited in a forest and expected to fi
nd their way back to base. It is meant to be challenging, and they often stagger
in at 2 or 3 in the morning.
这项荷兰的传统求生训练称为“丢包”,通常是一群10岁出头的孩子,被父母载到森林中并
必须自己找到回家的路。这是一个给孩子的挑战,他们通常会在凌晨2、3点步履蹒跚的回到
家。
In some variations of the challenge, loosely based on military exercises, adults
trail the teams of children, but refuse to guide them, although they may leave
cryptic notes as clues. To make it more difficult, adult organizers may even bli
ndfold the children on their way to the dropping, or drive in loop-de-loops to s
cramble their sense of direction.
Sometimes, they hide in the underbrush and make noises like a wild boar.
If this sounds a little crazy to you, it is because you are not Dutch.
这挑战可以有其他变化,部分参考军事训练:父母可以跟在孩子后方但拒绝给予指引,也许
只留下模糊的线索;为了增加难度,父母会先把孩子蒙上双眼,或不断绕路以混淆他们的方
向感。有时父母躲在树丛里发出像野猪的声音。
这听起来很疯狂,因为你不是荷兰人。
其实是2019的文章,不知道在治安良好的台湾,这个活动可行吗?
欧洲治安这么差都可以了,台湾治安这么好,孩子们会顺利回家还是全灭呢?
