核心畫面

One way to hold it: someone stands beside another who is out in the world at a delicate moment. The one beside them does not lead and does not take over. They are simply present, watching, keeping trouble away, and answerable for that stretch of time. When the other is safely back, the role is over.

chaperone 的畫面可以想成:有人站在旁邊陪著。被陪的那一方正處在容易出事的時候。可能是年紀還輕,可能是第一次更多收起chaperone 的畫面可以想成:有人站在旁邊陪著。被陪的那一方正處在容易出事的時候。可能是年紀還輕,可能是第一次出門,也可能只是一群孩子在外面。陪的人不指揮,也不替他做事。他只是在場、看著、把麻煩擋掉,而且要為這段時間負責。等人平安回到原處,這個角色就結束了。
