学校禁止昂贵的加拿大鹅外套，以消除贫困羞辱 [美国媒体]

A British high school has banned students from wearing Canada Goose, Pyrenex, Moncler, and other expensive designer coats in a bid to stop "poverty shaming."

英国一所高中禁止学生穿加拿大鹅、 比利牛斯、 蒙克莱和其他名牌外套，以阻止"贫困羞辱"。

School officials at Woodchurch High School in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, in North West England, sent a shocking letter to parents last week that said expensive winter coats would be prohibited from campus once students return from winter break (January 01).

位于英格兰西北部威勒尔都市区的伍德彻奇高中学校管理人员上周给家长们发了一封令人震惊的信，信中说，一旦学生寒假结束返校，将禁止他们穿昂贵的冬装。



"We are concerned with poverty proofing in school, where issues can routinely if unintentionally, stigmatize children living in poverty and contribute to the increasing cost of the school day to parents and carers.It has always been our policy to minimise the cost to parents and carers of uniform.

"我们关注在学校防止贫困的问题，无意中侮辱生活贫困的儿童是常有的问题，并助长了家长和抚养人在校日的费用。我们的政策一直是尽量减少父母和抚养人穿制服的费用。

The decision was taken following consultation with representatives of the pupils themselves and has been welcomed by the vast majority of parents and carers who have responded to the letter," the spokesperson said.

该决定是在征询学生代表本身的意见后作出的，并受到绝大多数回复信件的家长和抚养人的欢迎，发言人说。

Most of the Canada Goose jackets are usually spotted on celebrities or in the most frigid regions around the world, easily cost upwards of $1,000. Other designers banned from campus include Moncler and Pyrenex, whose winter coats cost equally as much.

大多数的加拿大鹅夹克通常是在名人身上或者世界上最寒冷的地区看到，价格很容易就超过了1000美元。 其他被校方禁止进入的品牌还包括 蒙克莱和比利牛斯，它们的冬装价格相当。

Nobody For President
I was a poor kid, working minimum wage jobs after school and banking $20-$50 a week saving for college. Junior year started, a bunch of the guys standing around talking about all the cool stuff they did for summer, then someone mentioned their new broghes (shoes man, this was 1954) and everybody looked down. Maybe 8 guys, everybody had new shoes, except me. Nobody said anything, but my face burned.

我小时候很穷，放学后做最低工资的工作，为上大学每周存20-50美元。三年级开始，一群家伙围坐在一起谈论他们夏天做的所有酷事，然后有人提到了他们的新鞋（鞋匠，这是1954年），所有人都低头看了看。也许8个人，除了我，每个人都有新鞋。没人说什么，但我的脸发烫。

Yup, started out poor in money and cloths but rich in a family of honest hard workers. Learned early on that if I wanted nice things I would have to work and earn them. 7 button oxford shirts with ferry loops on the back and Levis pants were what the posh in-crowd wore. By the time I could afford them I was no longer interested in them. At 6 years old my father had me building a road by hauling loads of gravel and clay 100 yards with a wheelbarrow. The lessons stuck and for my whole life I have seldom been out worked by anyone. Hard work, which includes reading hard books, can compensate very nicely for starting out poor.

是的，出身贫寒，衣着寒酸，但是在一个诚实勤劳的工人家庭里却很富有。 我很早就学会了，如果我想要好东西，我就得工作，赚取这些东西。 七颗纽扣衬衣，后背上有渡轮圈，穿着 Levis 牛仔裤，是时髦人群的穿着。 等到我买得起的时候，我已经对它们不再感兴趣了。 6岁时，我父亲让我用一辆手推车从100码远拖着沙砾和粘土修一条路。 这些经验教训深深地扎根在我的生活中，我很少靠别人。 努力工作，包括努力读书，可以很好地弥补开始时的贫穷。

Can I still get dropped off at school by my dad driving his Lamborghini?Or does he need to use the Ferrari or Porsche?

我还能被我爸爸开着兰博基尼送到学校吗？或者他需要使用法拉利或保时捷？

t's the UK. Trying to be classless with a House of Lords, the Peerage, and a hereditary monarchy.

是英国。试图在上议院、贵族和世袭君主制中不分阶级。

Back in the day it was actually considered a good thing for wealthy parents to have some modesty and not flaunt their wealth, especially via their kids.

在过去，有钱的父母保持谦虚，而不是炫耀他们的财富，尤其是通过他们的孩子，这被认为是一件好事。

Genuinely wealthy parents usually don't flaunt wealth - that's how they stay wealthy. Wannabes and pretenders do.

真正有钱的父母通常不会炫耀财富，所以他们才会保持富有。崇拜者和冒牌者都会这么做。

"Wannabes and pretenders do"................ No, they flaunt their debt.

“崇拜者和冒牌者”……不，他们炫耀自己的债务。

Canada Goose uses coyotes fur for the trim. My parents have a farm in the Niagara Region here in Ontario, Canada and coyotes are pests. Better to use the fur instead of just burying the coyote whole. I have one of these jackets myself. You wouldn't believe how warm and well insulated these jackets are. So warm, you could wear it without wearing a shirt and still be amply warm.

加拿大鹅用土狼皮毛做装饰。我父母在加拿大安大略省尼亚加拉地区有个农场，土狼是害兽。最好是用毛皮，而不是把土狼全埋起来。我自己有一件夹克衫，你不会相信这些夹克有多温暖和隔热。太暖和了，你可以不穿衬衫就穿它，还可以很暖和。

Bobzilla. Do not piss him off
What's next, families will have to move out of a nice higher income area and their kids won't be able to drive anything considered expensive or parents won't be able to drop their kids off at school driving a Lexus or BMW? Great job of teaching kids the real world. Totally fucked up. Will be checking for high end runners, gym clothes, underwear, Etc.

接下来，收入高的家庭将不得不搬出高端住宅区，而他们的孩子将无法驾驶任何被认为昂贵的汽车，或者父母将无法驾驶雷克萨斯或宝马送他们的孩子上学？教孩子们真实的世界才是伟大的工作。完全搞砸了。将检查高端跑鞋，运动服，内衣，等等.

Woodchurch where this occurred is a very big housing estate (projects in the USA). It has a reputation and people who don't live there don't usually go there unless they want their car stolen.

发生这种情况的伍德彻奇是一个非常大的住宅区（在美国的项目）。它享有盛名，不住在那里的人通常不会去那里，除非他们希望自己的车被偷。

how will the other kids know who's father deals drugs, or who's mother is a prostitute?

其他孩子怎么知道谁的父亲是毒品贩子，或者谁的母亲是妓女？

If the left keeps this up the next in-vogue jacket will be one made from their pelt.

如果左翼保持这种状态，那么下一件流行夹克就是由他们的毛皮制成的。

I get the idea here, and it's not "socialism." It's an attempt to ease pressure off the parents whose kids want to fit in by wearing expensive **** at a school where some kids come from wealthy parents, but who may not be quite as well to do. The last thing some middle class parent needs is their kid freaking out because he's going to be seen as lesser by his peers because his parents can't afford a $1000 coat.

我明白了，这不是"社会主义" 这样做是为了减轻父母的压力，因为他们的孩子在学校里穿着昂贵的衣服，虽然有些孩子来自富裕的家庭，但是他们可能不太适合这样做。 一些中产阶级的父母买不起一件1000美元的外套。

Great video. Not surprisingly, the large majority of posters here are siding with the American Psycho view of this article.

很棒的视频。毫不奇怪，这里的大多数帖子都带有美国心理学的观点。

Overpriced designer labels is more often a lower class thing. I went to two different schools in the fifth grade - one in a small town, very blue collar/redneck and the other was upper class suburban. The redneck town, kids were obsessed with the "right" clothes. The urban/posh school, the kids didn't give a crap. I know plenty of others with similar experiences.

价格过高的设计师标签往往是低级的东西。我在五年级的时候上过两所不同的学校，一所在一个小镇上，是蓝领/乡下人，另一所是郊区的上流社会。乡下人的小镇，孩子们痴迷于“正确”的衣服。城市/豪华学校，孩子们一点也不关心。我认识很多有类似经历的人。
