| New sex education textbooks were introduced to pupils in Shanghai on October 24, 2011 after numerous debates on early-age sex education in China. |
國內(nèi)有關(guān)早期性教育的爭論早就屢見不鮮了。2011年10月24日，新一套性別教育教材在上海一所小學(xué)正式投入使用。 |
| "We have forbidden zones on our bodies. The parts of a boy or girl that are covered by swimsuits are the private parts," teacher Hou Ping told some 30 third-graders at a primary school affiliated with the Shanghai University of Science and Technology. |
“我們的身體上都有禁區(qū)。男生女生的游泳衣，遮住的就是我們的隱私部位。”在上海理工大學(xué)附屬小學(xué)，侯萍老師面向大約30個三年級學(xué)生這樣介紹。 |
| Hou teaches a class called "Traffic Lights for Our Bodies," in which children are taught about their private parts, as well as how to protect themselves in accordance with rules described in the sex education book "Boys and Girls." |
在這堂主題為“身體紅綠燈”的課堂上，通過侯老師的指導(dǎo)，孩子們不僅認(rèn)識了身體的隱私部位，而且學(xué)會了如何根據(jù)性別教育課本《男孩女孩》中講述的方法來進(jìn)行自我保護(hù)。 |
| "Sex has always been taboo in Chinese parents' eyes. We find it hard to talk about sex with our children, but the students have not been as shy as I imagined. On the contrary, it was quite natural for the kids," a mother named Chen Ying said after the class which was open to parents, education officials and journalists on October 24. |
“在中國家長的眼里，性一直都是禁忌。我們發(fā)現(xiàn)很難與孩子們談?wù)撨@個話題，但是這些學(xué)生并不像我想象中的那么羞答答，相反，對孩子們來說，非常自然?！迸月牴_課的學(xué)生家長陳瑛說。24日，該公開課面向家長、教育主管部門負(fù)責(zé)人和記者開放。 |
| The August introduction of sex education textbooks in Beijing triggered a furious debate among parents and educators, as the books described sex in a direct fashion. Another debate was triggered in September in central Henan Province, when a kindergarten used toys with reproductive organs to teach children about sex. |
今年8月，北京曾推出性教育教材，因為其中對性知識的介紹過于直白，該教材在家長和教育工作者中引發(fā)了一場激烈的辯論。9月份，河南一家幼兒園使用生殖器仿真玩具來教孩子了解性知識，也引來類似的爭議。 |
| Students in Hou's class are taught to recognize reproductive organs and sensitive areas. They held up "red lights" or "green lights" when they see offensive or friendly gestures in pictures displayed by the teacher. |
在侯老師的課堂上，學(xué)生們學(xué)習(xí)認(rèn)識生殖器官及身體的敏感區(qū)域。面對老師展示的圖片，他們以亮出“紅燈”或“綠燈”的游戲方式，練習(xí)識別各種友善或具有攻擊性的動作。 |
| The children also played a game in which they covered the private parts of a cartoon depiction of a human body with pieces of paper. Two girls giggled while discussing whether the breasts should be covered by two pieces of paper to make it look like a bikini. |
孩子們還參與到游戲中，用手中的紙片遮住人體輪廓圖上的隱私部位。兩個女孩正在討論要不要遮住女孩圖的胸部，這樣做就像個比基尼了，她們說著說著就咯咯地笑了起來。 |
| "Children see sex in a different way from adults. It is simple, pure and natural for them," Chen said. |
“孩子們對性的認(rèn)識與成年人不同，在他們的眼里，那是簡單、純潔而且很自然的?！标愮f道。 |
| "We designed the program to teach kids about gender. The program includes self-awareness, gender knowledge and ethics, as well as sexual harassment knowledge," said Ding Limin, headmaster of the primary school. |
“我們的試驗課程定位為‘兒童性別教育’，它包含生命和自我的認(rèn)知、男女性別知識、愛和倫理教學(xué)以及預(yù)防外部侵害的教學(xué)等?！鄙虾＠砉ご髮W(xué)附屬小學(xué)校長丁利民說。 |
