Grown-ups bringing a child up, year after year: not just feeding and housing, but everything the child takes in at home — how to speak to older people, what is rude, what money is for. The word looks back at that whole stretch of childhood and at the marks it left on the grown person.

一種想法是：把 up 和 bring 拆開來看——大人把一個小孩「往上帶」，一年一年帶到長大。這裡帶的不只是餵飽長高，還包括那些沒有人正式教、卻天天在家裡吸進去的東西：吃飯怎麼坐、對長輩怎麼講話、生氣的時候可以吵到什麼程度、錢是拿來省的還是拿來用的。所以 upbringing 的畫面不是某一堂課，而是童年整段時間裡，家庭一點一點把一個人「做出來」的那個過程，以及那個過程留在他身上的痕跡。也因為這樣，它幾乎只用來回頭講一個已經長大的人——你會說 he had a strict upbringing，不會拿它來講眼前這個三歲小孩正在發生的事。原始詞典資料2 筆記錄
