新奇事件簿 日本学校强迫女孩把头发染黑

An 18-year-old girl in Japan is suing her local government after her school told her to dye her hair black. The third-year student attended a high school in the city of Habikino, just east of Osaka. Even though she had naturally brown hair, the school repeatedly told her to dye it black. She said she had to dye her hair black to follow the school's rules. Japan's 'Mainichi' newspaper reported that school staff started telling the girl to dye her hair every one to two weeks. In her second year, this changed to once every four days. The student's mother said her daughter eventually developed a rash on her scalp and that her hair became badly damaged. The girl also suffered from stress throughout her three years at high school.

日本一名18岁的女孩向当地政府提出起诉，原因是她所在的学校让她把头发染黑。这名高三的学生在大阪东部的羽曳野一所高中就读。她的头发天生是棕色的，但是学校多次要求她把头发染黑。她说，为了遵守学校的规定，她不得不把头发染黑。日本报纸《每日新闻》报道称，刚开始的时候，学校工作人员每一到两周都要告诉这个女孩去染头发。在她读第二年的时候，每四天就会告诫她一次。这名学生的母亲说，后来，孩子头皮上长出了麻疹，头发严重受损。高中三年期间，这名女孩也承受着重大的压力。

The student is suing the local government for $20,000 in damages. She told the court on October 27th that the school bullied¹ her for three years to dye her hair. She said that the school would not accept her hair was naturally brown. She was banned from school trips and school festivals because of her brown hair. The girl told the court that teachers said things to her in front of the class that caused great embarrassment² to her. This caused her psychological damage. She said that a teacher told her that she should not come to school if she didn't dye her hair. The girl said that she was so stressed one day that she collapsed³ and had to be taken to hospital by ambulance.

这位学生向政府起诉，要求2万美元的赔偿。她于10月27日告诉法庭，学校强迫她染头发，欺凌了她三年的时间。她说，学校不接受她的头发天生是棕色的。就因为她的头发是棕色的，学校禁止她参加旅行和学校节日。女孩告诉法庭，老师们经常在全班同学面前告诫她，让她非常尴尬，给她带来了心理创伤。她说，一名老师警告她，如果不把头发染黑，就不要来上学了。女孩说，有一天，她的压力太大了，以致突然晕倒，被救护车送到医院。
