It had been another long day for Eliza, a 41-year-old stay-at-home mother who lives in Los Angeles with her two sons. She had taken the boys, 10 and 13 at the time, to school, taken care of the house, and after putting them to bed, planned to relax in front of her computer.
对41岁的全职妈妈伊丽莎(Eliza)来说，这又是漫长的一天。她和两个儿子住在洛杉矶。她把10岁和13岁的两个儿子送去学校，然后开始整理房间，晚上打发他们上床后，她打算在电脑前放松一会儿。
At least that’s what she was hoping to do. Eliza opened her computer and started to search for a document, but based on previous searches, the term “child porn” appeared on the screen.
至少，那是她的打算。伊丽莎打开电脑，开始寻找一份文件，但是基于以前的搜索，“儿童色情”这个词出现在屏幕上。
“I went into a panic,” said Eliza, who was given anonymity to protect the identity of her children. Her mind started to race in a million different directions.
“我吓了一跳，”伊丽莎说（为了保护孩子的身份隐私，她决定隐去姓氏）。各种念头涌进她的头脑。
Two nights later, as they were going to bed, she asked the older son if he had searched for “child porn” and if so, why. “He said he was looking for porn made for children,” she told me. “He explained, embarrassed, that he just wanted to know what his body was supposed to look like at his age.”
两天后，她在睡觉前问大儿子是否搜索了“儿童色情”，如果是的话，为什么要这样做。“他说自己在找给孩子看的色情片，”她说，“他尴尬地解释说，他只是想知道他这个年纪的身体应该是什么样子的。”
Welcome to the new teenage years. Not long ago, boys and girls nearing that curious age might sneak a peek at Playboy or scour the underwear section of a J. C. Penney circular.
欢迎来到新的青少年时代。不久前，男孩女孩们在这个好奇的年纪可能会偷看《花花公子》或者翻看杰西潘尼百货公司宣传单的内衣部分。
Today, teenagers have easy access to a seemingly endless supply of pornography, including things that even many adults don’t want to see, such as mock sexual violence, misogynistic videos and, in extreme cases, child pornography.
如今，青少年很容易接触那些似乎无穷无尽的色情片，其中一些甚至连很多成年人都不想看，比如模拟性暴力和歧视女性的视频，极端的例子包括儿童色情片。
“At first, I told my son the next time he wanted to look at things like this, to talk to me and we’d do it together,” Eliza said. “Yet as soon as the words left my mouth I realized, and said, ‘No, no, no, that would be a terrible idea.’ ”
“一开始，我对儿子说下次他想看这种东西时，告诉我，我们一起看，”伊丽莎说，“但是话一出口我就觉得不对，连忙说，‘不，不，不，这个主意很糟糕。’”
Parents I’ve spoken with who have young boys acknowledged that trying to stop them from seeing online pornography is all but impossible. One father, for example, said that he installed web filtering software on the home computer, only to learn that his son had watched a gross-out pornography clip at a friend’s house.
我采访过一些有未成年儿子的父母们。他们承认，阻止孩子看网络色情片几乎是不可能的。比如，一位父亲说，他给家里的电脑安装了网络过滤软件，但是发现儿子在一个朋友家里看了一段令人作呕的色情片段。
