The practice has its defenders, and Straus himself admits, with chagrin in his voice, that he spanked his own son. In the 1990s, the American Academy of Pediatrics underwent a bitter fight before finally declaring in 1998 that "corporal punishment is of limited effectiveness and has potentially deleterious side effects."

连斯特劳斯自己都懊恼地承认，他有时候会打孩子屁股。当然,也会有人为体罚辩护。90年代的时候，美国儿科学会做了许多艰苦的工作，才得以在1998年公开宣布“体罚对孩子没有多少正面作用，且可能造成潜在的负面影响”

Sometimes spanking seems like the only way to get through to an unruly toddler. But the price for fixing his poor short-term conduct might be an even more troublesome outcome in the future.

有时候人们会觉得，如果孩子调皮捣蛋，那不打不行。但是，这种对孩子行为的暂时的修正，却有可能会给他的将来造成更大的麻烦。
