T he moment when his chemistry master pulled a pistol, declared it loaded and waved it in the air was “probably”, says Justin Webb, a broadcaster, the worst point of his boarding-school career. Winston Churchill would recall the floggings, done until pupils “bled freely” and screamed loudly. In “Such, Such Were The Joys”, George Orwell writes of being beaten so violently that his headmaster broke his riding crop and “reduced me to tears”.
广播公司贾斯汀·韦伯(Justin Webb)说,当他的化学大师拉动手枪并在空中挥舞着手枪时,他的时刻是“可能的”。温斯顿·丘吉尔(Winston Churchill)会回想起鞭打,直到学生“自由地流血”并大声尖叫。在“这样的喜悦”中,乔治·奥威尔(George Orwell)被猛烈地殴打,以至于他的校长打破了他的骑马作物,并“使我流泪”。
