世界各地五花八门的仪式,都是要少男们在众人面前表现自己的男子气概,去掉过往的孩子气,证明自己已经是个有负担的人。在世界各地很多原始部落,人们都会待少男少女成长到某一个岁数,便为他们举行一个成人礼。形式和法定年龄各有不同,但意义上都是差不多,就是代表青年人已长大成人,要脱离父母的护荫,自己开始承担起一些社会责任。 All kinds of rituals all over the world are aimed at showing young men their masculinity in front of people, removing the childishness of the past and proving that they are already a burdened person. In many primitive tribes around the world, people will be treated as adults when boys and girls grow up to a certain age. The forms and statutory ages are different, but they are all about the same in meaning. They represent that young people have grown up and need to leave their parents’ shade and start to take on some of their social responsibilities.
