<< review queue entry 58941 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Poorly worded. 1) The authorities may punish sb, but do they "implicate" sb? 2) "also" -- does that mean "punish as well as implicate", or "the criminal's associates as well as the criminal"? 3) Why use the definite article "the" instead of "a"? 4) It's not the criminal's *associates* (fellow criminals) -- it's the innocent family members, neighbors etc (according to LA). 學生中一人犯錯，動輒全班連坐處罰，粗如水管的藤條打在大腿上。 If one student made one mistake, the whole class would be punished, with each student being struck on the thigh with canes as thick as water pipes. 中國傳統律法也以宗族、家族、家庭為對象，「親屬株連」的親屬連坐制早在商代就存在。《尚書•湯誓》：「孥戮之誅」，意即某人犯罪，要將其妻兒一併處死。之後演變成滅三族、五族、七族、九族，最多的是雍正呂留良案的株「十」族──連受教於其下的學生也不放過，算是株連思想的極至。 Chinese legal tradition not only subjects a criminal, but his whole clan to the long arm of the law. This extension of guilt to the extended family existed as early as the Shang dynasty (trad. 1766-1122 BC). The Shang Shu, a text of this era, states that if a man commits a crime, his wives and children are also to be executed. Later, this "guilt by association" was extended to more and more distant relations, reaching its extreme in the Qing dynasty case of Lu Liulang, whose guilt led not only to his extended family being executed, but even his students. 按照清朝法令，觸犯叛亂罪者死，並要連坐，祖父子孫兄弟、甚至一同居住的人，都會被判處罪刑。（林漢章提供） Under Qing dynasty law, a subject who rebelled was executed, and punishment was also meted out to his father, grandfather, sons, grandsons, brothers, and even those who shared his living quarters. 此外，與人合作、做事負責的態度，也應該在教育中培養灌輸。然而，有些校規不但反教育也反人性。例如，鼓勵或強迫學生檢舉其他孩子的犯行，學生無論是「賣友求榮」或是基於「避免連坐處罰」而檢舉他人，都不是正面的教育方式。 A sound education also instills in students a sense of responsibility and the ability to cooperate with others. Yet some school regulations not only go against such an education but also against human nature. For example, encouraging or forcing students to inform on their schoolmates when they commit an offense, turns them into people who betray friends for personal gain or who will do anything to avoid suffering guilt by association. This is not what a positive education should be about. |
