没有父亲的日子该怎么过?也许没那么糟糕——研究摩梭文化的专家如是说。摩梭人生活在云南省和四川省交界处的泸沽湖一带,那里的男子在养儿育女问题上事实上也确有帮助——但他们所养育的都不是自己的孩子,没什么直接血缘关系,都是自己的姐妹、姨妈、姑妈及家族内其他女人生的孩子。
What would the days be like without fathers?Maybe not so bad,according to experts on the Mosuo culture.Men of the Mosuo,who live around Lugu Lake on the border between Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces,do help to raise kids—just not their own,with whom the men typically have only limited relationships.Instead the men help look after all the children born to their own sisters,aunts,and other women of the family.
