美国小孩:有史以来最娇惯的孩子

Kolbert describes an anthropologist's encounter with 6-year-old Yanira, part of a remote Peruvian tribe. On a leaf-gathering expedition with another family, Yanira constantly makes herself useful she sweeps the sleeping mats twice a day; she fishes for crustaceans, cooks them up and serves them to the others. 'Calm and self-possessed, Yanira 'asked for nothing,' ' Kolbert writes of the anthropologist's impressions.

在书评中，科尔伯特描述了一名人类学家遇到的秘鲁一个遥远部落的孩子雅尼拉(Yanira)。六岁的雅尼拉在和另一个家庭一起外出收集树叶时，一直尽量使自己有用武之地──每天清扫睡觉的垫子两次；捕捉甲壳类动物并将它们煮熟给同行的其他人食用。科尔伯特描述了这个女孩留给这名人类学家的印象：沉着冷静，从不主动要求任何东西。

The same anthropologist was part of a family study in Los Angeles as well, with very different results. In those families, 'no child routinely performed household chores without being instructed to. Often, the kids had to be begged to attempt the simplest tasks; often, they still refused. 瞰In [one] representative encounter, an eight-year-old girl sat down at the dining table. Finding that no silverware had been laid out for her, she demanded, 'How am I supposed to eat?' Although the girl clearly knew where the silverware was kept, her father got up to get it for her.'

这名人类学家同时也参与了一个有关洛杉矶家庭的调查研究，但这些家庭的情况与秘鲁部落的截然不同。在这些家庭中，“没有孩子会在无人吩咐的情况下主动定期做家务。经常是你不得不求着他们去尝试一些最简单的活；更经常的是，他们还会拒绝。……一个很有代表性的案例：一个八岁的女孩坐在餐桌边，发现面前没有摆好银餐具，她要求道，‘没有餐具，我怎么吃呢？’尽管这个女孩很清楚它们放在哪里，但她父亲还是起身给她取了过来。”
