How to End Bullying?

董云姣

不久前，火爆熒屏的大戲《少年的你》引發(fā)了大眾的熱議，校園霸凌的話題再度成為我們關(guān)注的焦點。你也許見到過或者正在經(jīng)歷著校園霸凌，你也許覺得那是遙不可及的電影故事。但不管怎樣，該如何保護“少年的你”是我們需要了解的。

Perhaps you've watched the recent movie Better Days， which focuses on1 bullying（霸凌） at school. It has raised heated public discussion about how to deal with bullying. In fact， the government is taking measures to solve this problem， as it has become increasingly serious.

On Oct 26， the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress reviewed a draft revision （修訂草案） to the law on the protection of minors （未成年人） for the first time， China Daily reported. The draft includes a number of new and improved provisions （條例） to strengthen2 the protection of minors.

One focus is bullying. A survey of primary and middle school students showed that more than 32 percent of students have experienced bullying at school， Global Times reported.

The draft asks schools to set up mechanisms （機制） to prevent bullying and to report any bullying incidents to parents. They are also being asked to work with the government when handling such incidents.

The draft also includes a new chapter-Internet Protection. It aims to protect children when they're online. For instance， it says that places that provide Internet services for minors， such as schools and libraries， should have protective software on their computers.

It also asks online game suppliers （供應(yīng)商） to sort through their products and take technical ? ? ?measures to keep minors away from games that are not suitable for them.

The draft revision has been widely welcomed. As the law on the protection of minors was revised （修訂） in 2006 last time， it was found to have difficulties solving certain problems that are more common today.

“The draft revision is a timely response3 to society's needs，” Zhang Jie， a researcher at the Communication University of China， told Xinhua.

【難句解析】

1. It has raised heated public discussion about how to deal with bullying.

釋義：它引起了公眾對怎么處理霸凌熱烈的討論。

點撥：疑問詞what， which， who， when， where， how及連接副詞whether與不定式連用，形成一個短語，這個短語相當于一個名詞，可在句中作句子的主語、賓語或表語等。例如：

What to do is not decided yet.

2. They are also being asked to work with the government when handling such incidents.

釋義：處理這樣類似事件的時候，學校也正在被要求與政府一起合作。

點撥：when后可以接現(xiàn)在分詞一般式作狀語，表示原因、方式、伴隨、結(jié)果或條件等，此時它的邏輯主語應(yīng)與句子的主語保持一致，現(xiàn)在分詞短語表示的動作與其邏輯主語是主謂關(guān)系，且與謂語表示的動作同時發(fā)生。when后接過去分詞作狀語，過去分詞短語表示的動作與其邏輯主語是動賓關(guān)系。例如：

When watching TV， I fell asleep.

When offered help， one often says “Thank you.”

點撥：that引導(dǎo)定語從句，修飾先行詞games。在定語從句中，關(guān)系代詞或關(guān)系副詞都代替先行詞在從句中充當一定的成分，如果這個從句中缺少主語、表語、賓語或定語，就要用關(guān)系代詞;如果從句中缺少狀語，就需要用關(guān)系副詞來連接。例如：

I have never forgotten the days when we stayed together.
