荷蘭奇特的夏季儀式: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.
跟出產直升機父母的國家不一樣,在荷蘭被「遺棄」在森林裡是受歡迎的野外求生訓練。
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.
半夜一輛車停到樹林旁的小路,丟下2個12/15歲男孩跟一個12歲馬尾女孩之後疾駛而走。
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.
這項荷蘭的傳統求生訓練稱為「丟包」,通常是一群10歲出頭的孩子,被父母載到森林中並
必須自己找到回家的路。這是一個給孩子的挑戰,他們通常會在凌晨2、3點步履蹣跚的回到
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.
這挑戰可以有其他變化,部分參考軍事訓練:父母可以跟在孩子後方但拒絕給予指引,也許
只留下模糊的線索;為了增加難度,父母會先把孩子蒙上雙眼,或不斷繞路以混淆他們的方
向感。有時父母躲在樹叢裡發出像野豬的聲音。
這聽起來很瘋狂,因為你不是荷蘭人。
其實是2019的文章,不知道在治安良好的台灣,這個活動可行嗎?
歐洲治安這麼差都可以了,台灣治安這麼好,孩子們會順利回家還是全滅呢?
