“粗心爹媽將孩子忘在車(chē)內(nèi)”的新聞?lì)l繁見(jiàn)諸報(bào)端，這種看似不可能的事情為什么頻頻發(fā)生呢？更多時(shí)候，大腦的一次“短路”，就可能導(dǎo)致永遠(yuǎn)不可挽回的悲劇。

It is completely beyond comprehension. Yet it is happening more and more often — a tragic consequence of our frenetic lifestyles and increasingly cluttered minds. In fact, the phenomenon of leaving your child in the car has even been given a name: Forgotten baby syndrome.
這完全難以理解，但卻越來(lái)越頻繁地發(fā)生，也是我們狂熱生活方式和日益雜亂的心緒的悲劇結(jié)果。事實(shí)上，把孩子忘在車(chē)?yán)镞@種情況已經(jīng)有了個(gè)專門(mén)的說(shuō)法：忘記孩子綜合征。
