[翻轉視界9] 當存在不過待宰羔羊 - Never Let Me Go
Never let our empathy and humanity go!
永遠別泯滅同理心與人性!
《永不讓我走》是石黑郎的第六本小說,並被證明是自他的布克獲獎鼎盛時期以來最受歡迎的一本書。它在2010年改編成電影。有劇透,慎入 (Spoiler alert)!
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The film takes place in the late 20th century after a medical breakthrough in 1952 has permitted the human lifespan to be extended beyond 100 years. In England, human beings are cloned and bred for the purposes of harvesting their organs once they reach adulthood.
1. medical breakthrough 醫療突破
2. permit允許;使…有可能
3. human lifespan 人類壽命
4. be cloned and bred 被複製與(為育種目的)飼養
5. for the purpose of 基於…的目的
6. harvest 豐收(這裡指把克隆人養大以獲取他們的器官)
7. reach adulthood 長大成人
這部電影的背景發生於20世紀晚期,在1952年醫學突破使人類壽命能延長至超過百歲之後。於英格蘭,人們基於獲取器官的目的而克被隆和繁殖。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Hailsham is a school for these clones. There, the clones live with no outside contact, interacting only with each other and their teachers, who are referred to as “guardians.” The Hailsham students know nothing of their fates or having any real understanding of the world.
8. clones 複製人
9. outside contact (n.) 外界接觸
10. know nothing of 對…一無所知
Hailsham是一所針對這些克隆人的學校。 在那兒,這些克隆人生活沒有外界與聯繫,只在克隆人之間以及與他們的老師(又稱「監護人」)的互動。Hailsham學生對自己的命運一無所知,對世界無從理解。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Once the children have reached maturity, they leave their enclosed community and are given limited access to the normal world while awaiting summons to make “donations.”
11. reach maturity 達到成熟(這裡指成年)
12. enclosed community 封閉的社區
13. limited access to 有限度的
14. summons (n.) 命令;召喚
15. make donation 捐贈
一旦孩子(克隆人)成年,他們便離開封閉的社區,等待命令進行「捐贈」時,只被允許相當限度的進入「正常的世界」。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
In the end, the young adults learn the truth of their fates but they do not respond with sorrow or anger. They lack the essential concepts of justice and injustice, and do not even have the words to fight their oppression. Like those conditioned to be exploited, they blame themselves, thinking that they deserve their inferior status and fates. Rather than attempting to revolt, they latch onto the empty promise of escape for a lucky few.
16. lack (v.) 缺乏*
17. essential concepts of 基本概念
18. justice and injustice 正義與不義
19. do not have the words並未討論、爭吵
20. fight oppression 反抗壓迫
21. conditioned 習慣的、適應的
22. inferior status and fates 低等的地位與命運
23. revolt (v.) 反抗;造反;反叛
24. latch onto sth 與…發生聯繫; 纏上; (這裡指寄望於)
25. empty promise 虛假承諾
最後,年輕人知曉了命運真相,他們卻不會悲傷或憤怒地回應。 他們缺乏正義和不義的基本概念,也缺乏反抗壓迫的言論。 像那些習慣被剝削的人一樣,他們責備自己,認為自己卑劣的地位和命運是應當的。他們並未試圖反慷,而是寄望於成為少數幸運逃生的虛假承諾。

★★★★★★★★★★★★
“If you don’t know you’re a slave , how do you fight to be free?”
「如果你不知道自己是奴隸,要怎麼為自由而戰?」
“If you don't know the words, that means you don't understand the concept, and therefore, you don't even realize that concept is even a possibility.”
「如果你不知道某些詞彙,那就意味著你並不了解某些概念,因此你也不會意識到,那些概念可以是一種可能。」
Freedom is fragile. I don't want to alarm you, but it is. It only took three generations to make North Korea into George Orwell's "1984." It took only three generations. If we don't fight for human rights for the people who are oppressed right now who don't have a voice, as free people here, who will fight for us when we are not free?
自由很脆弱。我不想嚇你,但事實如此。短短三個世代,就讓北韓淪為喬治.歐威爾筆下的《1984》。只花了三個世代。如果我們不為人權而戰,不為受壓迫、不為無法發聲的人而戰,當身為自由人的我們不自由時,誰還願意為我們而戰?
——Human rights activist, Yeonmi Park 人權鬥士朴延美

拒馬上的啄木鳥 ◎鄒文律
衝突過後
人潮褪退
廣場中心堆滿斷裂的拒馬
汽車、傢俱、鐵架、鋼絲
像擱淺的紀念碑,塗滿現成或自製的
淚水、口號、創痕
遠處的橡樹有火炙的氣味
原野吹來秋風滌洗狼藉
順道送來一個啄木鳥家族
黑翅白腹的啄木鳥頂著紅色禮帽降臨
當廣場外的人忙於重建、謀生、戀愛
啄木鳥也忙於為木材開洞,穿鑿彈痕
躲避上空盤旋的猛禽
驅趕偷掠成果的松鼠
一顆一顆地蒐集松子、橡實
鑲成碑上的星星、眼睛、寶石
替綱絲掩蔽下的鳥蛋貯糧過冬
當黑色的尖喙在偶然檢來的子彈上
演出敲打樂
流浪歌手便會唱出和聲
應答老人散步的節奏
小孩拾起落在地上的果子
當成紀念品賣給慕名前來的旅客
情人在孔洞中埋藏丟掉鑰匙的鎖,像鳥兒
經久不息地填入堅果
拒馬上的眼睛和星星
代替這座城市的祖先見證
鳥兒墾闢家園
渾然不覺議會正為保育拒馬與否連日辯論
雲線變幻
拒馬兩邊暗雲再聚
猶如綿延的荊棘花
群眾在對調顏色和旗幟後
屏息靜氣。等待
第一塊石子,第一枚子彈擊出
以先——雛鳥初啼
喚醒環繞拒馬的千萬點晨光
凝結全數炙熱難耐的心
這一刻,終將在歷史的爪控下逸出
2014.7.5

◎小編一尾賞析
Now Hong Kong people are to run Hong Kong that is the promise and that is the unshakable destiny.(現在,香港人將會治理香港,這是一份承諾,也是一個不容動搖的命運。)―― Chris Patten, The last Governor of Hong Kong
一九九七年六月三十日香港末代總督彭定康(Chris Patten )在添馬艦上發表告別演説,隔日香港回歸中國,自此每年都有民間團體在七月一日發起遊行示威。
當我們在疫情肆虐的時刻,回望2003沙士(SARS)那年七一的反基本法二十三條,到去年反送中的2019,再將時間撥回一點,來到這首詩的創作背景2014雨傘運動前夕的七一遊行後「預演佔中」行動。
中港矛盾一切一切的癥結點,都得回到香港人要求的「真普選」。
拒馬。是執政黨拒絕和人民溝通的象徵,是政府害怕人民設下的重重防線,是統治者生怕危及其權威的證據。2014年架在總統府和行政院的拒馬,台灣人不是也挺熟悉的嗎?
一場人民與國家機器的衝突結束後,狼藉的街頭隨處可見,詩中首段即是描繪這樣的街頭場景,家俱、鐵架、鋼絲,聲援的標語、布條和道具,噴漆在街頭上銘刻著人民的憤怒。
「當廣場外的人忙於重建、謀生、戀愛」,詩中出現了啄木鳥,作爲樹木醫生的啄木鳥清理黑警射出橡膠子彈後的彈孔,像它會對樹木做的事一樣填補運動後的傷口,在此詩人將其比喻為運動後,安慰招致「運動傷害」和試圖收拾殘局的人們。若撿到子彈,就像啄木鳥一樣將它填入拒馬,作爲政府和黑警共謀侵害人民安危的證據,作為警察不再是保衛人們而是草菅人命的見證。
多荒謬啊!
「渾然不覺議會正為保育拒馬與否連日辯論」,建制派掌控的立法會,無法為人民出聲,該保育的是啄木鳥而不是拒馬,詩人抽換語詞製造出香港政治的荒謬。
末兩段,詩人描述拒馬兩端激化的雙方,在街道上綿延的拒馬像荊棘,將兩方隔開,所有人都在等待衝突發生的那刻,這首詩像在描寫香港社會運動萬劫不復的衝突,聽令北京、管治優先的特區政府,永遠無法回應真正的民意。一觸即發的衝突,就如去年七月一日衝入立法會塗黑香港區徽、宣讀《香港人抗爭宣言》占領會議廳的人們,記得牆上那面黑色布條嗎?「沒有暴徒祗有暴政!」。若政府已無法代表人民,人民勢必奪回自己的議會。 Hong Kong people know best what is good for Hong Kong.( Prince Charles)
香港的抗爭在疫情肆虐的當下就結束了嗎?我想還沒有,他們還在等,等著聽日煲底相見。
「港人治港、高度自治」。
That is the promise and that is the unshakable destiny.

the promise小說 在 林俊傑 JJ Lin Facebook 的最讚貼文
2019 has been another fully engaging year: We’ve brought the Sanctuary 2.0 World Tour to 29 new cities, and released 6 independent singles with music videos. We’ve put a little more time into spreading love through the Cardinal Shan Foundation “Live Out Love”, and Huashan Social Welfare Foundation “Love the Elderly” charity movements.
Also very proud to have collaborated as JFJ Productions with KAWS and AllRightsReserved to bring in the #KawsHolidayTaipei installation for the first time.
The new #SMUDGEstore with Miracle Coffee In Shanghai has also been warmly received, thanks to all the friends and family who have supported us all these years. SMG: Still Moving Under Gunfire
More to come, I promise, more to come!
When I was a boy, I’ve always tried to picture what 2020 would be like. I’ve seen it in films, science fiction stories, and games. Flying cars, dystopian cities, time traveling, parallel universes, and a world dependent on artificial intelligence? Today, it seems like we are still a little far from getting close. (or are we?)
2020, I wish for less forest fires, less poverty and pollution, for the world to share more love and less hate. I pray for more peace and less greedy intention, for us to hold on to one another more dearly. I pray that those of us who have lost loved ones, would find comfort and strength in shared memories, and strive on.
Also that we have willpower to overcome never ending obstacles in this unpredictable world.
Well, I never thought I’d be actually part of 2020, still doing what I’m doing.
Never more grateful, never more spurred on!
In fact, in the past 12 months, I’ve been doing a little more than usual planning for this upcoming year, so I tell myself,
“Come what come may,
May or may not like it,
But expect to be seeing a whole new
JJ Lin in 2020!”
Happy New Year, world! 2020 here we come!
2019,是非常充實的一年。
我們帶著「聖所2.0」世界巡迴演唱會,到了29個城市。今年結合6個不同專案發行了6首選新單曲(也拍了MV)。
我們抽出更多的時間,希望透過與像「活出愛」和「愛老人」的公益集團合作,把更多的愛傳遞出去。
今年,也很開心 JFJ Productions 首次開發藝術界的合作,年初的時候把巨大Kaws:Holiday 系列 帶到了台北。
上海 #SMUDGEstore SMGLIFE 新家落成了,加入了綠標 Miracle Coffee 的共同經營,受到大家熱烈支持!
非常感謝多年支持我們的家人與朋友們!
後續,請各位拭目以待!
很小的時候,我經常想像2020會是什麼樣的世界和光景。那個時候從電影、科幻小說、電玩遊戲的模擬,看到了會飛的車子、敵托邦式的場景、穿越時空、平行世界,還有徹底仰賴人工智慧的生活環境... 今時今日的我們,距離小時候的「幻想」,這麼近;那麼遠。
2020年,希望少一些天災人禍,少一些污染、憤恨;多一些關愛與分享,多一些和平與安定;人與人之間可以更加珍惜彼此、和樂相處。生生離別息息不罷休,但願曾失去至親的人,能夠從彼此曾經共享的過程和回憶中得到力量,勇敢面對未來。希望我們都可以以堅定的意志力,克服生命中從不可預知的難關。
能夠在2020年依然做著自己在做的事,擁有現在擁有的一切,無比感恩、無比驅動!過去一年裡,我花了不少時間準備來年的新計畫。我對自己喊話:
無論接下來
是荊棘 是豐順
是稱心 是願違
2020準備好迎接截然不同的林俊傑!
祝大家 新年快樂!2020, 愛你愛你~~~

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”
“What constitutes the authentic human being?”
科幻小說作家 Philip K. Dick 對「真實」的論題及人工智能的幻想啟發了無數的電影,他的理論甚至在我們生活中逐漸呈現。這次,我們向他致敬,把A.I.科幻故事融入我們的電影式搖滾內,創作了這首《Electronic Dreams》。
一個男機械人戀上了創造自己的女科學家,並渴望成為真正的人類一直守護她,到底最後它能否像小木偶一樣如願以償,還是難逃被新型號取替而被拆散的命運?聽聽它的自白吧。

Lyrics: Van Chan & Nate Wong
Arranged: Nowhere Boys
Produced: Victor Tse
You make me what I am,
Thank you Marianne,
Can you feel this déjà vu?
Nothing in the world,
Dreams or fairy tales,
Compares to you.
In the desert of the real,
You taught me how to feel,
My heart is made of gold.
And here we are again,
I sit here and pretend,
I don’t feel cold.
Open my heart,
Tear it apart,
Tell me the truth buried deep in the dark.
Lost in the sea,
I still believe,
Our promise from the start.
One morning still in bed,
My skin begins to shed,
My veins are made of gold.
I’m a robot, not a man,
Compute and comprehend,
My feelings are cold.
Titanium, copper and gold,
My eyes can't cry,
But I feel like I can breathe,
When you’re on my mind.
Open my heart,
Tear it apart,
Tell me the truth buried deep in the dark.
Lost in the sea,
I still believe,
Our promise from the start.
Oh,
Forever lasts.
Open my heart,
Tear it apart,
Tell me the truth buried deep in the dark.
Lost in the sea,
I still believe,
From the start.
Open my heart,
Tear it apart,
Tell me the truth buried deep in the dark.
Lost in the sea,
I still believe,
Our promise from the start.
Open my heart,
Turn off the clock,
Light up the fireworks deep in my heart.
I’ll be at peace,
If we can keep,
Our promise from the start.

信 - 告別的時代 電影版 PART1
城市只剩孤獨時
When there is nothing but loneliness in the city.
愛情難以走入心底 輕易說出告別
It's hard to let love go deeply into the hearts, but it's easy to say goodbye.
這是座哭泣的城市 我將找回妳哀傷的眼淚
Here is a city of Tears, and I will trace back the tear stains from your sorrow.
答應我,離開的時候,記住末日的景象,還有我們不悔的愛情。
Promise me. When you leaving, don't forget the scene of the doom, and our faithful love.
妳...還好吧?
Are you.alright?
第一次相遇的時候,她已經快醉了。
The first time we met, she was almost drunk.
我叫蕾,以後我在這就靠你照顧了。
I'm Lei, nice to meet you.
她說,來這個陌生的城市,她很開心 ,就多喝了幾杯。
She said she was glad to come to this strange city, then she had few more cups.
這個酒很好喝。
The wine is fabulous.
你不是攝影師嗎?為什麼都不帶相機啊?
Aren't you a photographer? Why don't you bring a camera with you?
聽說你離開報社了,為什麼?
I heard you left that newspaper, why?
是該離開的時候。
It was time to leave.
她是個作家,正在寫一個關於末日的愛情故事,希望能在這裡得到一些孤獨的靈感。
She is a writer. She was writing a love story about the doom, hoping she could get some inspiration about loneliness.
為什麼我覺得你的眼神,有點孤獨的感覺?
How come I always feel the loneliness released from your eyes?
我叫信,是攝影師。一年前離開報社。
I'm Shin, a photographer. I left the newspaper a year age.
以前報社的老朋友打來,希望我多照顧她,帶她認識這個新城市。
An old friend from the editorial department let her come to me, asking me to take care of her,
And help her get familiar with this city.
妳醉了,我送妳回飯店。
You're drunk. Let me send you to your place.
她醉了,我送她回到房間。
She was drunk, and I sent her back to her room.
或許是很久沒那麼開心了,她讓我有一種很熟悉的感覺。我忽然想起了潔。
I had a familiar feeling when we had a great time together.
It reminded me another girl, Jei.
喂,是我。
Hey, this is me.
她覺得書中的男主角,個性跟我很相似,同樣有種孤獨的特質。
She found the actor In her novel had the quality of loneliness like me.
我們約在飄著落葉的街道。這一刻,才是我們真正的自我介紹。
we met on the street where the leaves floating in the air. Thats the moment we officially introduced ourselves to each other.
那天,我真的真的很開心。
That day was really very great.
你覺得孤獨是什麼?
How do you feel about the loneliness?
回不到快樂的過去,就是孤獨。
When you can't go back to the happiness you used to have, you feel alone.
什麼會讓人孤獨呢?
Why that made people lonely?
來不及的告別。
To late to say goodbye.
你怕孤獨嗎?
And are you afraid?
孤獨它不可怕,但他是破碎的,會在你身邊四處蔓延。
It's not scary, but will spread around you.
我就不怕孤獨,其實我覺得孤獨是天生的,由基因造成的,你要把什麼事情都想的
很明白了,就沒有什麼孤獨了。
I'm totally not afraid of loneliness. In fact, I think everyone was born to be alone. if you don't get into a blind alley, you won't feel lonely at all.
嗯,很有趣。但,我還是孤獨的。
Well, thats an interesting point. However, I am still lonely.
小說裡的男女主角,開始有了溫度,在迷失的城市裡,慢慢尋找出口。
There began some chemistry between the couple in the story. They found their way in the lost ctity.
我很喜歡這裡,帶妳來看看,希望對妳的寫作靈感有幫助。我稱這裡為「哭泣城市」。
Heres my favorite place, which I call it the Crying City. Hope you can get some inspiration for your story here.
