  • 对老彼得的启蒙性教育

    昨天老彼得妈给我发了一个链接：http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_496459050100dln5.html?tj=1，是我从哪里来？的儿童性启蒙教育。

    于是当天晚上我就向老彼得进行了一次启蒙的性教育。

    看起来老彼得还不是那么懵懂，至少知道自己是从医院里来的，而不是从小猪市场买回来的。

    他对一些男女的生理构造，特别是男的生理构造也有一定的理解了，当然一些更细节的东西，还是要等他长大自己领会了。

    国外对儿童的性启蒙教育是很重视的，链接中的小书就是一个很好的例子。

    不讳言，破除神秘，才是帮助孩子正确理解一样东西的最好途径。

  • 外婆去世

    我的外婆去世了。她是6月6号走的，享年95岁。

    收到消息很平静，因为这个年纪的老人走，苏州人一般都会当喜事来办后事。

  • The passive voice in Chinese

    We all know that in English, there are two voices for a verb: the active voice and the passive voice .

    The passive voice is widely used in various circumstances. To my best knowledge, it can be used to:

    • describe a situation where the subject who conducts the action is not to be disclosed, or simply unknown, or already known by the public, or not significant to be mentioned, etc. For example:
      • US security system was seriously challenged in the event of 911.
      • I was given a $100 for my 1st day work in the supermarket.
    • create a very object tune as the subject is missing. This is quite common in scientific writings.
