\'六小灵童\'持枪上学

"六小灵童"持枪上学

演员章金莱取艺名"六小灵童",不知是不是六岁登台之故,但这不重要。重要的是他演的孙猴子大闹天空出神入化,人们不一定知道章金莱是谁,但全中国都知道六小灵童。

美国也有位"六小灵童",他有本事干了件连孙候子都干不了的事 -- 持枪上学堂。

那中国儿歌是怎么唱的?  小么小儿朗,背起那书包上学堂。到美国,这歌词改了:  小么小儿朗,胯起那手枪上学堂。我们都知道美国枪支泛滥,但六岁孩童带枪上学,也忒早熟了吧!

难怪美国将"社会安全"定为国策的重中之重,它外受恐怖分子威胁,内有全国人民"自由用枪"。这不,前天有四岁孩因保姆踩他一脚就拔枪怒射保姆,今天又来个六小龄童持枪上学,这么个社会治安怎么能让家长父母放心?

请看新闻:

6-year-old brings loaded handgun to Calif.school

A 6-year-old boy brought a loaded handgun to his Southern California elementary school and it wasn't discovered until recess when he was sent to the campus office because of sagging pants.

The .45-caliber handgun slipped down the first-grader's pant leg Wednesday while a clerk at the Victorville school was helping him put on a belt.

San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Karen Hunt says the boy took the gun from his father's vehicle. Investigators in the town about 80 miles west of Los Angeles say the weapon was stolen during a November robbery.

The boy's father Michael Lewis has now been arrested and booked for investigation of receiving stolen property and possession of a firearm by a felon.

The 6-year-old boy, who will be expelled under the school's zero-tolerance weapons policy, has been released to the custody of his mother.

学词汇

handgun:  手枪,loaded handgun:  子弹上膛的手枪。
recess:  放学,也即一天的学校结束(recess)了。
sagging pants:  裤子往下坠。孩子的裤兜里装着把枪,能不往下坠嘛!
caliber:  手枪口径。0.45-caliber可是真家伙,小口径是0.22,警用手枪都是0.45的。
first-grader:  一年级学生。

这孩子裤兜里有枪,太沉裤子滑落下来,一员工帮他系皮带时,手枪从兜里滑了出来。
警察说,孩子是从他爹的车里拿到的枪。调查后发现这枪还是在十一月一起抢劫案中被人盗走的。
孩子他爹因此也被警察拘了,拘他的理由是接受偷盗财物以及拥有盗贼的武器(firearm)。

六小龄童将被学校开除,因为学校对武器有零容忍政策。现在这孩子交由他妈照看(released to the custody of his mother)。

zero-tolerance weapons policy:  对武器的零容忍政策。美国学校有不少这样的零政策:  武器零容忍(weapons zero-tolerance)、毒品零容忍(drug zero-tolerance)、犯罪零容忍(crime zero-tolerance),可这些东西好像是你越零容忍他越泛滥,不知是不是美国学校对零的数学概念理解不同?
