美國女大學生畢業典禮當衆哺乳引爭議
A photograph of a young mother breastfeeding at her recent graduation ceremony has provoked a storm of online debate.
一張年輕媽媽在畢業典禮當衆給孩子餵奶的照片在網上引發了巨大爭議。Despite getting pregnant in her last year at college, Karlesha Thurman, 25, stayed in school and completed her accounting degree.
25歲的莉莎·瑟曼在大學最後一年懷孕了，但她還堅持在學校上課並完成了自己的會計學學位。At her graduation from Long Beach State University in California last month, she brought along her three-month-old daughter Aaliyah.
上個月她在加州州立大學長灘分校的畢業典禮上，帶來了自己3個月大的女兒阿莉婭。
After the ceremony, Karlesha was proudly showing off her daughter to friends when Aaliyah became hungry.
畢業典禮後，莉莎驕傲地給朋友們炫耀自己的女兒，然後小寶貝阿莉婭餓了。Still dressed in her cap and gown, Karlesha decided to feed her baby and a friend, who thought it cool, asked if they could take a picture.
莉莎當時還穿着學士服、戴着學士帽，但她仍然決定馬上給孩子餵奶。有一位朋友認爲這樣很酷，還問能不能拍照片。A couple of days ago she posted the photo on the Facebook page, Black Women Do Breastfeed, to support a woman who wrote of getting dirty looks while nursing in public.
莉莎幾天前在“黑人女性母乳餵養” Facebook主頁上傳了自己的照片，此舉是爲了支持一位女子寫作關注公衆場合母乳餵奶的不雅行爲問題。‘I did it to show it’s natural, it’s normal, there’s nothing wrong with it,’ Karlesha told Today.
“我這樣做是爲了表明母乳餵奶是很自然、很正常的，一點問題都沒有。” 莉莎告訴《今日報》記者。'It’s not disgusting, it’s not a bad thing, it’s not a negative thing. It’s the best thing for my daughter. More people should do it,' she added.
她還補充道，“這不是壞事，也不消極，沒什麼可惡心的。這是給我女兒最好的東西，應該有更多的人像我這樣做。”Though Karlesha has since deleted her photo, the Facebook group decided to share the photo as part of their efforts to try and normalize breast-feeding in public.
儘管莉莎後來刪除了這張照片，但Facebook小組決定繼續分享這一照片，以繼續支持公衆場合母乳餵奶的普及。As the photo spread, the Facebook page – and Karlesha - received a lot of support. 'Congratulations to the mom for graduating & putting your baby 1st,' Michelle Spruill wrote on the group’s Facebook page.
照片發佈後被大量轉發，這一Facebook主頁和莉莎得到了很多支持。“祝賀媽媽畢業，爲寶寶點贊！”網友米歇爾在該Facebook主頁上評論道。As well as support, the photo also drew some negative comments as well. Some people though it was inappropriate and that she should have covered up.
除了支持之外，這張照片也得到了一些負面評論。有些人認爲照片尺度太大不合適，她應該遮掩一下。Karlesha, however, has no regrets. ‘I was proud of the fact that not only did I graduate but that I got to share the moment with the one person who is the most important to me and that is my daughter,’ she told Today.
然而莉莎卻一點也不後悔，“我驕傲，不僅因爲我畢業了，還因爲我和最重要的人、我的女兒共同分享了這一時刻。”她告訴《今日報》記者。
