“16 and Pregnant,” a reality TV show, portrayed teenage parenthood realistically, with young mothers suffering sleepless nights, howling brats, money worries and the blank incomprehension of their still-partying childless contemporaries. According to the authors of a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research, seeing all this drudgery helped deter young viewers 21 becoming mothers—although the study only affirms that it reduced birth rates among blacks, 22 are more likely than whites or Hispanics to become pregnant 23 teenagers—and 30 % more likely to watch “16 and Pregnant.”
Despite what you see on TV, teen birth rates are at an all-time low: in 2010 there were 34.4 births per 1,000 women 24 15-19, which is down 44 % from a peak in 1991. More information about disease and contraception probably helped, and the recession may have played a part. 25 that a TV show made a difference is hard, not least because it is tricky to measure how many people watched it in the first place. More youngsters are seeing programs days after they air, or are streaming their favorite shows online; data cannot always capture this.

思路引導 VIP
請試著思考：當我們要表達「保護某人（不受傷害）」或「禁止某人（進入某地）」時，這些動作都隱含著一種將「人」與「某種負面結果」隔離開來的感覺。在英文中，哪一個介係詞最常被用來表達這種「起源於某處」或「保持距離、隔開」的空間邏輯呢？
