妈妈看手机,孩子摔了?——你只看到局部
If you're a mom on social media, there's a good chance you saw an illustration shared more than once last week.
如果你是一个会用社交媒体的妈妈,那么很可能上周你会不只一次地看到有人分享这幅插图。
It was created by Paula Kuka, who told us it was response to an illustration in an Australian newspaper she thinks in unfair to moms.
它是由宝拉·库卡创造的,她告诉我们这是对澳大利亚一家报纸上的一幅插画的回应,她认为这幅插画对妈妈们不公平。
It depicted "a mother looking at her phone and not noticing her baby had fallen out of the pram.
那幅图描述了一位母亲在看手机的时候没有注意到她的孩子从婴儿车里掉了下来。
It was accompanied by a poem that finished with the line 'wishing that he was loved like a phone,"' Kuka said.
库卡说,这幅画的结尾语是“希望他像手机一样被爱”。
"I do completely agree with sentiment that we are addicted to our phones and it is to the detriment of social engagement," she told us.
她告诉我们:“我完全同意我们沉迷于手机,会不利于社交的观点。"
"But to specifically target new mothers seemed unfair and possibly harmful. Post-natal depression and anxiety affects more than 1 in 7 Australian women. ”
“但是专门针对新妈妈似乎是不公平的,而且可能是有害的。超过七分之一的澳大利亚妇女受到产后抑郁和焦虑的影响。”
“When I saw the cartoon, I couldn’t help but feel defensive for any new mother who takes a moment for herself to look at her phone and is judged by strangers for her parenting."
“当我看到这幅漫画时,我不禁为任何一位新妈妈叫屈,仅仅因为她花点时间看看自己的手机,陌生人就会因为她的教养方式而对她进行评判。”
The "irony," Kuka said, is that most of the time moms are on their phones, making doctor appointments, shopping lists, reading school emails or running a business while also taking care of children.
库卡说,“具有讽刺意味的是,妈妈们在照顾孩子的同时,大部分时间都还在打电话、预约医生、购物、阅读学校的电子邮件或做生意。”
Kuka points out that while mobile phones are unique to this generation of mothers -- many are among the first to grow up with smartphones -- there have always been distractions.
库卡指出,虽然手机是这一代母亲所特有的——许多人是第一批伴随着智能手机长大的——但总是会有干扰。
Still, moms today are expected to be more hands-on than ever before, she said.
不过,她说,如今的妈妈们应该比以往任何时候都更亲力亲为。
"My drawing aimed to highlight what you don’t see. I just sat down and drew all the things I might do at home with my kids, when the public gaze isn’t on me. ”
“我的画旨在突出你看不到的东西。我只是坐下来,画出当公众的目光不在我身上时,所有我在家和孩子们一起做的事情。”
“Playing, cleaning, cooking, reading, dancing and comforting them," Kuka said.
库卡说:“我们会陪孩子玩、打扫、做饭、读书、跳舞,安慰他们。”
"I drew it in not as a way to vilify the original cartoonist, but out of compassion for other mothers, with the hope I might make something stop and think before they judge a mother in public as they are only seeing a tiny fraction of what really goes on."
“我画这幅画不是为了诋毁最初的漫画家,而是出于对其他母亲的同情,希望我能让一些人停下来,在他们公开评判一位母亲之前好好想想,因为他们只是看到了真实情况的一小部分。”
