High schools in Indonesia are surrounded by walls or fences with gates monitored by security guards around the clock. The condition was the same when I was still in high school and now to make things worst for the kids who often come late, they add CCTV cameras to monitor who goes in and out so attempting to sneak in when you come late is useless, unless you can make yourself invisible to the security guards and cameras.

印度尼西亞的高中周圍都建有墻或柵欄,有門(mén)禁并由安保人員全天候監(jiān)控。當(dāng)我還在上高中時(shí)情況也是這樣,現(xiàn)在為了讓那些常常遲到的孩子更難以溜進(jìn)來(lái),學(xué)校加裝了閉路電視攝像頭以監(jiān)控誰(shuí)進(jìn)出,所以如果你想在遲到時(shí)偷偷溜進(jìn)去是沒(méi)有用的,除非你能讓自己對(duì)安保人員和攝像頭隱形。


In Indonesia, if you are a high school student and you come late one of these will happen to you. No. 3 is mostly likely happening to you.

在印度尼西亞,如果你是一名高中學(xué)生而你遲到了,以下三種情況之一會(huì)發(fā)生在你身上,而第三種情況最有可能發(fā)生:

1.School management won’t let you in. The gate is closed. Don’t be happy because now you have a day off because you are considered to cut class and your parents will be called.

1.學(xué)校管理者不讓你進(jìn)去,門(mén)已關(guān)閉。不要高興因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在你有一天休息,因?yàn)槟惚徽J(rèn)為是曠課了,你的家長(zhǎng)會(huì)被通知。

2.School management will let you in but you will be reprimanded first then after that you can go to your class.

2.學(xué)校管理者會(huì)讓你進(jìn)去,但你會(huì)被訓(xùn)斥,然后才能去上課。

3.School management will let you in but … you will be punished first before you can go to your class. If you are a male student, you might be told to do push up not in the teacher’s room but in the school’s yard where everyone can see what happens to you. You can be punished to clean the school’s yard or clean the toilets which is really unpleasant thing to do. Another form of punishment for you if you come late is you stand before the flag post and salute the flag.

3.學(xué)校管理者會(huì)讓你進(jìn)去,但是……你會(huì)在去上課之前先受到懲罰。如果你是男學(xué)生,你可能會(huì)被要求在學(xué)校的操場(chǎng)上而不是在老師的辦公室里做俯臥撐,讓每個(gè)人都看到你的處境。你可能會(huì)被罰清理學(xué)校的操場(chǎng)或廁所,這是一件非常不愉快的事情。如果你遲到了,另一種懲罰方式是站在國(guó)旗桿前向國(guó)旗敬禮。

I graduated high school about twenty years ago and let me tell you that that arriving late in high school was unpleasant thing and something that I tried to avoid because coming late was punishable and it is now still punishable.

我大約二十年前從高中畢業(yè),讓我告訴你,遲到上學(xué)是一件不愉快的事情,是我盡力避免的事情,因?yàn)檫t到是會(huì)受到懲罰的,而現(xiàn)在仍然會(huì)受到懲罰。

Don’t come late

不要遲到。
