河南省某高中為防止談戀愛分散注意力在食堂劃紅線
A high school in Henan Province is segregating students at lunchtime as a way to prevent them from developing romantic relationships that officials say would otherwise distract from their studies.
河南省一高中在午餐時將學生隔離就餐，據學校領導稱，此舉是為了阻止他們談戀愛，以免分散注意力，影響學習。
In particular, school officials are aiming to prevent boys and girls from "feeding each other" - a public display of affection often seen among young couples in China.
學校領導特別強調，此舉是為了防止校園情侶們“喂對方吃飯——這是中國情侶們常見的一種公開秀恩愛的行為。
A red line on the ground of the Ruyang Experimental High School cafeteria demarcates two zones for male and female students, while assigned cafeteria monitors patrol the more than 3,000 students and take photos of any infractions of mixed seating or other violations, Henan-based newspaper Dahe Daily reported Sunday.
據河南省的大河日報星期天報道，汝陽實驗中學食堂地上的紅線劃出了男女生兩個區域，通過食堂的監控巡查這3000多名學生，一旦發現坐錯區域或其他違規行為，將會拍照批評。
"Even seats are assigned," said a junior at the school. "They’re telling us how to eat aswell as managing our other time."
一名高年級學生說，“即使座位也是指定好的，他們告訴我們應當怎樣吃飯，并且管控我們的其他時間。
The principal, Li Xinnian, explained the pilot program was implemented last week in order to stamp out the food flirting, which he sees as a "bad influence."
該校校長李昕念解釋說，試點方案于上周開始實施，以杜絕學生在吃飯時打情罵俏，這在他看來“影響惡劣。
"Puppy love in high school distracts students from their studies, and the school is taking action to prevent such relationships and put an end to feeding each other in the cafeteria," said Li.
他說，“在學校里早戀分散注意力，影響學習，學校正在采取措施防止學生談戀愛，杜絕在食堂里喂飯的行為。
He added the new rule is not "compulsory."
他補充說，這個新規定并非“強制性的。
"If we find students who violate the rule, we would just give them a talking-to and not criticize them in front of the school," Li added.
他還說，“如果我們發現有學生違規，我們會找他們談話，不會在全校公開批評。
So far, the policy has had the desired effect.
目前，這個規定已經收到了預期的成效。
"We’ve seen a sharp decrease in mixed seating, and no one has been feeding each other," said Li.
李昕念校長說，“男女混坐現象大幅下降，沒有出現喂飯現象。
