In order to separate doting parents from their freshman sons, Morehouse College in Atlanta has instituted a formal “Parting Ceremony.”
為了將那些溺愛孩子的父母與剛升上大學的子女分開，美國亞特蘭大的莫爾豪斯學院特地舉辦了一個正式的分別儀式。
It began on a recent evening, with speeches in the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel. Then the incoming freshmen marched through the gates of the campus — which swung shut, literally leaving the parents outside.
告別儀式最近在莫爾豪斯學院的馬丁•路德•金國際禮堂舉行。在一段講話之后，新學生步行進入學校大門；大門徐徐關上，也標志著他們向門外的父母告別。
When University of Minnesota freshmen move in at the end of August, parental separation was a little sneakier: mothers and fathers were invited to a reception elsewhere so students can meet their roommates and negotiate dorm room space — without adult meddling.
除了莫爾豪斯大學，美國明尼蘇達大學也舉辦了類似的活動，不過他們組織的活動更具策略。學生父母被邀請前往學校各處的接待點，這樣他們的子女就可以與自己的室友見面，在沒有父母干涉的情況下與室友討論如何布置寢室。
