【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 for me。 even the length is different.” says Schweblin. “When a book is translated into a Western language, I can at least understand some parts of my stories, and therefore suffer some doubt about the quality of the translation. But my Chinese edition is more like an act of faith.” Born in Argentina in 1978, Schweblin says she is influenced by the literary traditions of the La Plata area, home to many famous LatinAmerican novelists. Interested in writing stories of ordinary lives where suddenly something extraordinary happens, something new, strange or unknown, she thinks, “The stranger and the unknown are not always related to ghosts or aliens, but can be something related to the known world, something that actually could happen.” Birds in the Mouth tells of a divorced father who worries about his 13yearold daughter and her mysterious appetites. It turns out that his daughter eats live birds. The idea for this story came to Schweblin when she was browsing the Internet, “Click, click, click, a picture of a little girl who looks frightened with her hands covering her mouth came to my eyes. Little by little, I developed the story in my mind, and then wrote it down” recalls Schweblin. Although there are elements of violence and bloodiness in Schweblin39。s stories, she skillfully hides them, thinking the trick to writing a thrilling story is to stop the monster from appearing, while maintaining a frightening and mysterious atmosphere.（1）Samanta Schweblin came to China to .

Nearly 60,000 young children are rushed to the hospital every year after getting into medicines not meant for them, according to a new report from Safe Kids Worldwide. The report finds little connection between what parents know about storing medicines safely and what they actually do. Nine out of 10 parents know that medicines should be stored up and away out of reach and sight, but 7 out of 10 of them admit not doing that. They leave medicines out on kitchen counters, sinks and sofas, believing babies and toddlers(學(xué)步者)aren39。t tall enough or strong enough to reach them. Unfortunately, they probably can. Children as young as a month have ended up in an emergency department because they39。d been poisoned by getting into a medicine that was left within reach. Most poisonings related to medicinesparticularly among babies and toddlersoccur within their home. Kids develop rapidly and they want to explore their environment. At certain ages they have a lot of handtomouth activity, and so it39。s very mon for them to explore their environment and then try to taste what they find. The new Safe Kids worldwide report includes a survey of 2,000 parents with children under age 6. While the number of children visiting an emergency department for accidental poisonings had declined since the 2010 maximum, the decline has slowed in recent years. Prescription and overthecounter medicines cause the most severe poisonings, but vitamins and supplements(補(bǔ)充品)can also cause problems.
