對毒品零容忍：英國高校啟用警犬緝毒(雙語)

University Uses Sniffer Dogs to Stop Drug Use

    對毒品「零容忍」，英國高校啟用警犬緝毒！

     (來源：芝士英語)

    Police sniffer dogs (嗅探犬) trained to spot terrorists at railway stations may come into contact with university students in Britain-after complaints that the well-educated young people in the country are getting more chances to use drugs. In a "zero-tolerance" approach to drugs, these lovely animals, which have an acute sense of smell, have been brought onto the campus of the University of Buckingham.

    現在，越來越多受過良好教育的英國年輕人開始吸食毒品，在接到諸如這些投訴之後，英國警察訓練嗅探犬進行現場偵察，防止恐怖分子在火車站接近大學生。秉承對毒品"零容忍"的態度，白金漢大學已經讓這些有著敏銳嗅覺的可愛動物入駐校園。

    The university has also given local police passes to access its campus at any time, as a warning to any drug use.

    該高校特許當地警察可以隨時出入校園，旨在對毒品使用形成一種威懾。

    Sir Anthony Seldon, the university's vice-chancellor, says illegal drugs are a "key factor" in mental health problems among young people. He has warned against universities "turning a blind eye" to drug use.

    該校副主席安東尼謝爾登爵士說道， 「違法藥物是影響年輕人心智健康的「關鍵因素」，並對一些大學對毒品使用「視而不見」的做法，發出了警告。

    The search by sniffer dogs did not find anything illegal,but the university says that it wants to send a message that it is tightening checks and that it will not offer any tacit acceptance of student drug use.

    嗅探犬並沒有在學校搜查出違法藥物，但該校想藉此傳達一個信息，即校方會加強檢查，不會默認接受學生吸毒的行徑。

    There will be regular police patrols on campus, says the university. The move is part of the university's project to improve students' well-being.

    該校方表示，警方會定時在校園進行巡邏。此舉是白金漢大學提升學生幸福計劃的一部分。

    Sir Seldon has been a pioneering campaigner for universities to take more responsibility for the pastoral care (關顧輔導) of students. He has argued that too many universities have neglected the well-being of young people who are leaving home for the first time. As part of this, he argues that universities need to address drug use among students,which can contribute to mental health problems.

    謝爾登爵士一直是該計劃備受矚目的推動者，在對學生的心智關懷方面，他承擔著更多的責任。他認為，許多大學忽視了第一次離開家的年輕人的幸福問題。因此，高校應該解決學生的吸毒問題，因為這可能會給他們的心理健康造成危害。

    Buckingham has a project to become a "positive health university" and to challenge what Sir Seldon calls a "crisis of mental health in our universities." He wants university staff to take a more active role in supporting students and to intervene at an early stage if there are emotional problems.

    白金漢正在開展一個項目，名為成為「積極健康的大學」。而其中一大挑戰就是解決謝爾登爵士稱之為 「我們大學的心理健康危機」的問題。他希望大學工作人員更加積極主動地支持學生，若發現學生存在情緒問題，應在早期階段就予以介入。

    The well-being project wants to promote a healthier campus culture and to cultivate "mental health literacy" and "emotional resilience."

    該項 「幸福計劃」 旨在促進校園文化的健康發展，並培養 「心理健康素養」以及 「情緒恢復能力」。

    "The culture of heavy drinking, a blind eye to drug-taking, and tacit acceptance of a 『laddish culture' will be tackled," says Sir Seldon.

    「酗酒，對吸毒視而不見，以及對這些 「幼稚文化」的縱容將最終被遏制」， 謝爾登爵士說。
