導(dǎo)讀:近日,復(fù)旦大學(xué)投毒案得到社會(huì)廣泛關(guān)注。很多人開(kāi)始思考中國(guó)教育到底哪里出了問(wèn)題?到底是怎樣的矛盾才會(huì)導(dǎo)致室友相殘?又該如何營(yíng)造和諧友愛(ài)的寢室關(guān)系?
Li Xiongfeng and his roommates had all fallen asleep in the quiet night. But then his phone suddenly started ringing loudly and woke everybody up. One of his roommates was annoyed and Li was not happy about the disturbance either.
夜深人靜,李雄峰(音譯)和室友們都進(jìn)入了夢(mèng)鄉(xiāng)。但突然間他的手機(jī)鈴聲響起,吵醒了所有人。一位室友因此惱火不已,就連李雄峰自己也很不高興。 “I didn’t expect such a trivial matter could sour my relationship with my roommates,” said Li, 20, a sophomore law major at South China Normal University. Last week, Fudan University issued a statement regarding the preliminary police report on the poisoning of a student by his roommate that shocked the nation. “Trivial matters in daily life” were blamed for the tragedy, in which 27-year-old Huang Yang was killed. According to experts, it’s the small things that can cause serious problems for dormitory relations. As their first lesson at college, students should learn to compromise when living with their peers and be tolerant toward them. Dormitory relations are among the top concerns for students who enjoyed being the focal point of their family in high school. Only 43 percent of college students in Wuhan, which has more than 1 million college students, are happy with their dormitory relations, according to a report by Wuhan Yangtze Business University released in January. “This communal way of living is new to students, the majority of whom are single children. Many of them expect people to change for them, not the other way around,” said Tan Mali, deputy Party secretary at South China Normal University. For many students, respecting other’s property and personal space is the foundation to maintain peace in the dormitory. It can be fixed Liao Fei, 22, a senior majoring in biology at Peking University, believes that in a shared space, all roommates should help in keeping the room tidy instead of placing the burden on just one while the others do whatever they want. “Everyone hates dirty places. If you make a mess, don’t leave it for someone else to clean up. Make sure you do your fair share of dormitory chores, such as taking out the trash and recycling, and cleaning the washroom,” said Liao. No matter what, conflicts are inevitable when living with others for four years. But a conflict isn’t the end of the world. A serious talk or even just a joke can fix the problem. Luo Lisha, 22, a senior majoring in journalism at the Communication University of China, had an argument with her roommate a while ago. Instead of burying her feelings, Luo talked with her roommate and they’ve been getting along well ever since. “Being frank and letting everyone speak their mind is a great way to let off steam,” said Luo. According to Sun Jianmin, dean of the Psychology Department at Renmin University, learning to compromise around others is one of the most important lessons in life. “Does it really matter if someone’s cup was not rinsed out or if their computer was left on all night? If it bothers you a lot then bring it up, but if it’s a small thing - just let it go,” said Sun. “It’s tempting to vent your frustration on others when things start to annoy you. But it’s better to talk about it with others in a way they can accept. Being obsessed with insignificant things only creates more problems.” |
