Skirts have been banned at a school because the head teacher said girls have repeatedly breached rules by wearing them above the knee.
英國(guó)一所學(xué)校禁止女生穿裙子,因?yàn)樾iL(zhǎng)說女生們?cè)偃`反裙子要長(zhǎng)及膝蓋的規(guī)定。
Instead, from September, students at Moulton School and Science College in Northamptonshire will be forced to wear black tailored trousers.
因此,從九月起,北安普敦郡的莫爾頓科學(xué)院的學(xué)生將被迫穿合身的黑色長(zhǎng)褲。
Headteacher Trevor Jones said he has taken the radical decision in order to fight the "over-sexualisation"of children.
校長(zhǎng)特雷佛•瓊斯說,他決定采取這一極端手段是為了對(duì)抗兒童的“過度性化”。
If they fail to obey the new rule, pupils will be given second-hand clothing to wear for the day or sent home to get changed.
如果學(xué)生未能遵守這一新規(guī)定,學(xué)校將讓她們當(dāng)天穿二手衣服,或讓她們回家換衣服。
Mr Jones said he had seen girls coming into school with skirts halfway up their thighs or even higher.
瓊斯先生說,他看到來(lái)上學(xué)的女生穿的裙子長(zhǎng)度僅到大腿中部,甚至更短。
He added: "Some of them would be more appropriate in a nightclub than in a classroom."
他還說:“有些裙子在夜總會(huì)穿會(huì)比在教室里穿更合適?!?/div>
"School should be a place where they can come and not have to worry about that for a few hours and instead concentrate on their learning."
“學(xué)校應(yīng)該是一個(gè)讓學(xué)生幾個(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)不為穿戴操心,能夠?qū)P膶W(xué)習(xí)的地方。”
The existing rules had outlined that girls must wear skirts that were knee-length or below, but he said that this rule had been consistently broken.
現(xiàn)有的規(guī)定是女生必須穿長(zhǎng)度到膝蓋或膝蓋以下的裙子,但校長(zhǎng)說,總是不斷地有學(xué)生違反這一規(guī)定。
He added: "The minimum length was proving impossible to enforce, so we are now looking at a total ban."
他補(bǔ)充說:“裙子的最短長(zhǎng)度被證實(shí)是無(wú)法實(shí)施的,所以我們現(xiàn)在考慮全面禁止穿裙子。”
"I have had complaints from a number of parents and some girls are feeling aggrieved but we think this will make the school a safer place."
“我已經(jīng)接到一些家長(zhǎng)的投訴,也有些女孩感到忿忿不平,但我們認(rèn)為這會(huì)讓學(xué)校成為一個(gè)更安全的地方?!?/div>
The school's website states the rule change, adding:"School uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting an appropriate tone."
學(xué)校的網(wǎng)站公布了這一規(guī)定的改動(dòng),并補(bǔ)充說:“學(xué)校制服對(duì)于建設(shè)積極的校園文化、樹立良好的校風(fēng)發(fā)揮著重要的作用?!?/div>
"It can instil pride, support positive behaviour and discipline, encourage identity with the school ethos and protect children from social pressures to dress in a particular way."
“它能夠向?qū)W生灌輸自豪感、強(qiáng)化正面行為和紀(jì)律,鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生對(duì)校園文化產(chǎn)生認(rèn)同感,保護(hù)孩子不在社會(huì)壓力的影響下按特定方式打扮?!?/div>
The new uniform policy at the school also includes a ban on scarves and hats, unless in cold weather.
學(xué)校的這一新制服策略還包括禁止學(xué)生戴圍巾和帽子,除非在天氣寒冷的日子里。
Trousers are not allowed to have any non-black stitching or visible metal buttons.
長(zhǎng)褲上也不允許用非黑色的線縫任何東西,或是有顯眼的金屬紐扣。
