一名兒童從撞球桌上偷走了一名婦女的 2 澳元硬幣，引發了一場關於酒吧是否有兒童的激烈爭論

評論者猛烈抨擊酒吧一開始就允許孩子入住，其中有人說：“我同意！酒吧不是孩子們待的地方。”

A heated debate about the presence of children in pubs has been reignited after a child allegedly stole a woman’s Australian $2 coin from a pool table.

一名兒童據稱從撞球桌上偷走了一名女子的 2 澳元硬幣，這再次引發了關於酒吧里是否存在兒童的激烈爭論。

The Australian pubgoer said that she had placed the gold coin on the side of the table, and within seconds, the child ran over and took it.

這位澳洲酒吧愛好者說，她把金幣放在桌子邊上，幾秒鐘之內，孩子就跑過去把它拿走了。

“I was at the pub, and we put our $2 coin down on the pool table. A little kid grabbed it and ran off with it,” a user, @Baccy.b0ng , said in a TikTok video that amassed over 600,000 views.

「我當時在酒吧，我們把 2 美元的硬幣放在撞球桌上。一個小孩抓住了它，然後就跑了。

When the group approached the child’s mother to inform her of the incident, she reportedly responded, “Well, I can give you a $1 coin.”

據報道，當這群人找到孩子的母親告知此事時，她回答說：“好吧，我可以給你一枚 1 美元的硬幣。”

“Are you taking the piss?” the woman exclaimed to her followers.

“你在撒尿嗎？”女人對她的追隨者喊道。

Commenters hit out at pubs for allowing kids in the first place, with one stating, “I agree! Pubs are not a place for children.”

評論者猛烈抨擊酒吧一開始就允許孩子入住，有人說：「我同意！酒吧不適合小朋友去。

“Why is a kid at the pub to begin with?” another questioned.

“為什麼酒吧裡會有一個孩子？”另一個質疑道。

“I’ve never agreed with bringing kids to the pub. I’ve seen so many kids grow up in pubs, only to spend every day there as adults,” a third user wrote.

「我從來不同意帶孩子去酒吧。我見過很多孩子在酒吧長大，但成年後每天都在那裡度過，」第三位用戶寫道。

Some commenters wondered why the child’s mother didn’t return the coin or at least offer to pay them back in full.

一些評論者想知道為什麼孩子的母親沒有歸還硬幣，或者至少提出全額償還。

“Why didn’t the parent take it from the child and give it back?” one person asked.

“為什麼家長不把它從孩子手中奪走並歸還給孩子呢？”有人問。

“As a kid who understood the rules of the pub, I never touched money on a pool table or took things that didn’t belong to me,” another commenter noted.

另一位評論者指出：“作為一個了解酒吧規則的孩子，我從來沒有碰過台球桌上的錢，也沒有拿過不屬於我的東西。”

However, others felt the woman was overreacting.

然而，其他人認為該女子反應過度。

“It’s only $2,” one viewer pointed out.

「只要 2 美元，」一位觀眾指出。

“It’s not a big deal, kids are going to be kids,” another added.

另一位網友補充說：“這沒什麼大不了的，孩子就是孩子。”

When approached for comment by news.com.au, the TikTokker declined to address the backlash she received but made a follow-up video clarifying a few things.

當 news.com.au 聯繫其置評時，這位 TikTokker 拒絕回應她所受到的強烈反對，但製作了一段後續影片澄清了一些事情。

“I know it was just a kid, and kids do things like that. It’s fine. There was no beef,” she assured.

「我知道這只是一個孩子，孩子們也會做這樣的事情。沒關係。沒有牛肉，」她保證。

“We weren’t angry at the mother or the child. But the kid was old enough to know not to take things that didn’t belong to him.”

“我們並沒有對母親或孩子生氣。但孩子已經長大了，知道不屬於他的東西不能拿。

Last year, another debate about kids in pubs emerged after a man witnessed a family allowing their child to create a mess inside a pub without making any effort to contain them.

去年，另一場關於酒吧裡孩子的爭論出現了，一名男子目睹了一個家庭允許他們的孩子在酒吧製造混亂，但沒有採取任何措施來遏制他們。

He took to Reddit, writing: “A family at my local pub let their kid fling food everywhere and made zero attempts to stop them before leaving.”

他在 Reddit 上寫道：“我當地酒吧的一家人讓他們的孩子把食物扔得到處都是，並且在離開之前零嘗試阻止他們。”

He shared a photo of hot chips scattered all over the floor and asked fellow forum members, “Is this okay now?”

他分享了一張熱晶片散落在地板上的照片，並向論壇其他成員詢問：“現在可以了嗎？”

The post received 1600 likes and nearly 500 comments, with almost all of them criticizing the parents’ behavior.

這篇貼文獲得了1600個讚和近500條評論，幾乎全是批評家長的行為。

“Now? These people have always existed. I lost track of how many times I heard ‘It’s their job to clean it up’ while working at the movies as a kid,” one person remarked.

「現在？這些人一直存在。我記不清小時候在電影院工作時有多少次聽到‘清理是他們的工作’，」一位人士說。

“I mean, even if it is, why do you have to make it harder?” another added.

“我的意思是，即使是這樣，你為什麼要讓它變得更難？”另一位補充道。

Another commenter stated, “This is so entitled.”

另一位評論者表示：“這太有權利了。”

While most Australian pubs still welcome children, a pub in the U.K. recently stirred controversy when it announced that children would no longer be allowed to dine there.

雖然大多數澳洲酒吧仍然歡迎兒童，但英國的一家酒吧最近宣布不再允許兒童在那裡用餐，引發了爭議。

The venue provided several reasons for this decision, citing issues like “getting into mischief,” “playing with the cutlery,” “running around and annoying other diners,” and “using the table as a drum,” among others.

餐廳給了做出這項決定的幾個原因，列舉了諸如「惡作劇」、「玩弄餐具」、「跑來跑去煩擾其他食客」以及「把桌子當鼓」等問題。

The Eriswell Chequers pub explained that it is not a “child-friendly” venue, as it does not offer a kids’ menu, play area, or baby-changing facilities.

Eriswell Chequers 酒吧解釋說，它不是一個「適合兒童」的場所，因為它不提供兒童菜單、遊樂區或嬰兒換尿布設施。

The statement concluded by requesting that diners “please take their children to an establishment that accommodates families.”

聲明最後要求食客“請將孩子帶到適合家庭的地方。”
