给宝宝一个安全的家

字幕原文

Ten-month-old Jack is doing exactly what babies do: exploring. 十个月大的杰克正在做所有婴儿都会做的事情：探索。

He crawls at high speed, 他飞快地爬着，

pulls himself up on the furniture, 扶着家具站起来，

and sends almost everything he grabs straight into his mouth. 并且几乎把他抓到的所有东西都直接塞进嘴里。

So his mom, Beth, has worked hard to babyproof their home. 因此，他的妈妈贝丝努力为宝宝做好居家安全防护。

Breakable things go on high shelves. 易碎品都放在高高的架子上。

Electrical outlets are covered, so Jack can't get a shock. 电源插座都盖上了盖子，这样杰克就不会触电。

Cleaning supplies live in high cupboards — 清洁用品放在高高的橱柜里——

because a bottle of blue glass cleaner looks an awful lot like blue 因为一瓶蓝色的玻璃清洁剂看起来非常像蓝色的

Kool-Aid. 酷爱饮料。

Medicines are locked away, because colorful pills look an awful lot like candy. 药品都锁起来了，因为五颜六色的药丸看起来非常像糖果。

Beth feels good about all of it. 贝丝对这一切感到很满意。

But she knows no lock replaces a watchful eye; she is still Jack's best safety device. 但是她知道，任何锁都无法取代一双警惕的眼睛；她仍然是杰克最好的安全保障。

As she likes to joke, it would be awfully handy to have a 她喜欢开玩笑说，如果能有

second pair of eyes in the back of her head. 长在脑后的第二双眼睛就好了。

That's parenting, really — 这就是养育孩子，真的——

seeing the danger in a thing your child sees only 育儿的真谛在于，看到你的孩子只把某样东西看作是

as candy, 糖果，而你却能看到其中的危险，

and quietly moving it out of reach. 然后悄悄地把它移到够不着的地方。
