原标题:印度教科书教孩子如何杀死小猫:看,它被闷死了!
印度的小学教科书“惹事”了。
因为,它教小孩子们怎样去弄死一只……猫。
引起争议的是一本私立小学的教科书,据说有印度好几百所小学 都在用这本书做教材。
书中有“科学实验课”的环节。这一堂课的内容呢,是让学生们认识到空气的重要性 。
但是如何来认识空气的重要性,这本教材的方法就很诡异了……

An Indian publisher has caused a furore with a school textbook that encourages children to suffocate kittens as part of a scientific experiment。
印度一家出版社引起了公愤:他们的一本教科书在一项科学实验里,鼓励孩子们将小猫闷死。
The book, which is used in hundreds of private schools in India, includes an experiment in which two kittens were placed in separate boxes - only one of which had air holes。
印度有数百所私立学校在使用这本教材。教材里有一个实验:两只小猫放在不同的盒子里,而其中只有一只盒子上有气孔。
“Put a small kitten in each box。 Close the boxes。 After some time open the boxes。 What do you see? The kitten inside the box without holes has died,” read the text。
书中这样写道:“在每个盒子里各放一只小猫。关上盒子。过一段时间后打开盒子。你看到了什么?没有气孔的盒子里的小猫已经死了。“

以如此平静、淡定甚至“科学” 的语气来指导小孩子们把猫弄死,这真的……很“硬核”了!
虽然知道印度人民有时候“口味清奇”,但教科书公开鼓励 小孩子以杀猫 的方式来做实验,还是连不少印度人自己都看不下去了。
印度媒体《印度快报》先震惊体了一把——
▲“震惊!四年级教材竟让学生做实验去‘杀猫’,网友们都怒了!”(via The Indian Express)
是的,从标题到正文,这篇报道里的感叹号无处不在……
A ridiculous piece of text has appeared online。 A Class IV book for Environmental Studies titled Our Green World,while educating students on the importance of breathing, gives a practical example that shows how children can suffocate a cat to death! → 该教材在教学生们呼吸的重要性时,举了一个可操作的案例,向孩子展示如何把一只猫活活闷死!
Yes, the book part of a curriculum in a Delhi school tries to explain through an experiment that “living things breathe” and “living things need air to breathe”。
So, basically,instead of creating awareness about environment and conservation, it is indirectly teaching young children to kill another living being!→ 该教材不是在倡导环保意识,而是在间接教幼儿去杀死另一个生命!

看到小学教材里有这样的“神操作”,国外一些网友也是吐槽不已……
@0ld_Monk:
How absurd! Doesn‘t someone review this sh*t before it’s authorized & approved to be used in schools
真荒唐!在这破玩意儿被批准给学生读之前,就没有人查阅审核一下吗?
@AGirlOfHerWords:
can you send me all pics of the cover? let‘s see if we can legally get them to stop this。 this is ’how to be a killer 101“
博主能把这些图都发我下吗?我想试试能不能从法律上阻止他们。这明明是“教你怎样做杀手”好吗!
@prashantsani:
This is sad
The author of the book should be banned from writing
真难过啊……这书的作者应该被禁止写作才对!
据说,由于被太多人投诉,很多学校已经把这教材的“杀猫”一页去掉了。 (“Many schools have now scrapped the offending page。” via BBC)

当然,也有网友觉得,教孩子“杀猫”也没啥大问题。
——毕竟谁上生物课时没解剖过鱼?谁小时候没弄死过几只蚂蚁蚱蜢?谁没拍死过蚊子?
猫是生命,其他的动物昆虫就不是了吗?
但在许多人眼里,长相可爱的、能用来养做宠物的、可以陪伴人类的猫咪 (还有狗几),的确是 与众不同 的。 (虽然猫主子是真的在陪伴人,还是其实懒得理铲史官,就另当别论了)
之所以这次“杀猫”弄得大家特别生气,除了教孩子杀猫这件事本身就挺过分外,还可能因为……
印度的很多教材真的 太不靠谱了 啊!
比如,印度就有教材曾公然宣称:吃肉的人爱说谎、爱偷东西、爱打架,无恶不作:
(我吃肉招谁惹谁了)

A national textbook for 11-year-old students created uproar in 2012 when it was discovered that it said thatpeople who eat meat “easily cheat, tell lies, forget promises, are dishonest and tell bad words, steal, fight and turn to violence and commit sex crimes” 。

还有更令人窒息的:二战期间,日本对美国使用了核武器攻击:
(日本:………………)

In what can only be described as a complete distortion of history, a social science textbook believed to have been taught to 50,000 students in the western Indian state of Gujaratdeclared that Japan had launched a nuclear attack on the US during World War Two。

Emmmm。。。。。
或许,有了人身攻击、篡改历史 这类的前科,大家已经对印度教材搞个“杀猫”见怪不怪了吧
