English to Chinese Art/Literary Psychology child study

有一个关于婴儿传记的问题我被问到不下百次：“这么做对孩子们会有害处吗？会让他们紧张吗？会让他们难为情吗？”最初我觉得这样的问题是种毫无必要的担心 --- 就好像人们认为观察孩子就意味着对他做什么似的。

I have no doubt it could be so foolishly managed as to harm the child. There are thousands of parents who tell anecdotes about children before their faces every day in the year, and if such a parent turns child student it is hard to say what he may not do in the way of dissecting a child's mind openly, questioning the little one about himself, and experimenting with his thoughts and feelings.

但是我丝毫也不怀疑愚蠢的做法处理不当是会伤害到被观察的孩子的。成千上万的父母在一年到头？天天都当着本人的面谈论孩子们的轶事，如果这样的父母做了孩子研究者，难保他们不会？公开地剖析孩子的头脑，拿他的思想和感受做实验。
