爲防攀比 英國一中學禁止學生穿名牌外套大綱

A school in Merseyside, the UK, has banned pupils from wearing expensive designer coats in a bid to stop "poverty-shaming" among its students.

英國默西塞德郡一所學校於日前禁止學生穿着價格昂貴的名牌外套，以制止學生間的“貧困羞辱”。

In a letter to parents, Woodchurch High School in Birkenhead said pupils would not be allowed to wear branded coats such as Moncler, Pyrenex and Canada Goose.

在一封致家長的信中，伯肯黑德的伍德丘奇高中表示，學生將不被允許穿盟可睞、Pyrenex和加拿大鵝等名牌外套。

Head teacher Rebekah Phillips said pupils and parents supported the move.

校長麗貝卡·菲利普斯表示，學生和家長都支持這一舉措。

The labels banned by the school include children's sizes, which sell for between 400 and 1,000 pounds. The ban will be introduced after the Christmas holidays.

該校禁穿的品牌均有童款尺碼，售價400-1000英鎊。該禁令將在聖誕節假期後實行。

"The pupils spoke to us about the pressure on families and the pressure on themselves to wear particular branded coats. A few years ago we introduced a school bag for the same reason," Phillips said.

菲利普斯稱：“學生們向我們反映了穿特定品牌的外套給家庭和他們自身帶來的壓力。幾年前，出於同樣的原因，我們推出了統一的書包。”

There has been a mixed reaction on social media, with people writing both in support and against the school's designer label ban.

社交媒體上的反應不一，人們對該校的名牌禁令既有支持的，也有反對的。

One Twitter user wrote: "Absolutely ridiculous, banning those coats. It's a fact of life that there are poor kids, get over it."

有推特用戶寫道：“禁穿名牌外套簡直荒唐透頂。世界上有貧困的孩子是現實，你得接受它。”
