snowplough

Snowplough parenting is becoming increasingly common in the UK as well as the US with nearly a quarter of teenagers supplied with tutors by their parents in a bid to boost their grades.

扫雪机父母在英国和美国日渐增多，约有四分之一的青少年都有父母请的家教帮他们提高学习成绩。

After school classes, intensive music lessons and an emphasis on besting the competition in team sports are all favorites of the snowplough parent, who also, on occasion, take charge of their children's homework.

学校放学以后，密集的音乐课程和团体运动中的能力加强练习都是扫雪机父母们中意的项目，偶尔他们还会帮孩子做作业。

But now a new parenting type has been identified-and experts say 'snowplough parents', who clear every obstacle from their child's path while piling on the pressure to achieve, can be every bit as damaging.

现在又出现了新的一类父母——扫雪机父母，他们会扫清孩子成功路上的所有障碍，但同时也因此给孩子造成很多压力，专家认为这种教育方式让孩子受害不浅。
