Book ID/图书代码： 14560007B11214
English Summary/英文概要： Like most parents Ellen Currey-Wilson and her busband aspire to do a better job of child-rearing than their own parents.Currey-Wilson spent far too much of her childhood watching The Beverly Hillbillies and Hawaii Five-O;maintained intimate relationships with Mary,Rhoda,and Phyllis;But now she longs for heer son,Casey,to know the people around him better than he knows the Teletubbies.Like most parents, she goes a bit overboard.But Currey-Wilson vows that her son won’t be exposed to even a split second of screen time and pledges to wean herself from her own television addiction.
In this revealing and very funny take on parenting ，Currey-Wilson recounts her increasingly outlandish behavior:becoming a human shield as she throws herself in front of the TV set at her son’s playmates’ houses, she worries whether Casey will be ostracized for not knowing the theme song to SpongeBob SquarePants.But something remarkable happens as TV assumes a backseat to real life: Currey-Wilson’s relationships with her laidback husband, new-age sister, eccentric mother, and remarkably self-possessed son begin to deepen and grow. In an age when it’s easier to flip on the TV than to interact with people, The Big Turnoff shows what happens when one woman decides to buck the trend.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 正如大部分的父母，Ellen Currey-Wilson和她的丈夫期望能比自己的父母做得更称职。 Currey-Wilson她自己大部分的童年花在观看电视《The Beverly Hillbillies 》、和《Hawaii Five-O》上了。至今仍然脑海中仍然对剧中的人物Mary, Rhoda, 和Phyllis记忆犹新；但如今他希望自己的儿子Casey，能对他身边的人有所了解，而不是电视剧《Teletubbies》。当然也像大部分父母那样，Currey-Wilson也有些溺爱自己的孩子。但她发誓绝不让她的儿子再像她以前一样把时间都浪费在电视银幕前，然后再拼命的戒除电视瘾。
但是在她揭露性和有趣的叙述中，Currey-Wilson详述了日益古怪的行为举止——比如把自己当人盾挡在儿子的前面，不让他看电视，而又担心 Casey是否会因不知道各类电影、电视等的主题音乐被周遭的同学们所排斥。电视中常常轻描淡写的许多真实生活中的琐事，却的的确确在他们的生活中具有非常重要的影响：Currey-Wilson与她那懒散的丈夫、年纪轻轻的妹妹、古怪性格的母亲和尤其冷静沉着的儿子之间的关系随着时间的流逝也开始日益深厚。
