碎梦汇编（2018）

写小说的麻烦在于它必须有意义 而现实生活则不然
——伊恩·M.班克斯
触发警告
片名：碎梦汇编
我叫约翰内斯 我有一个条件
- My name is Johannes, and I have a condition.
我是人类
I am human.
当我把自己的脸摔在
I first realized that when I fell on my face
意大利海滩上的水泥板上时
on a concrete slab on a beach in Italy.
我才四岁 而我很清楚地意识到
I was four, and it was clear to me,
海滩不能被信任
beaches cannot be trusted,
我讨厌意大利 梦想是会破灭的
I hated Italy, and dreams can be broken.
人类是叙事的生物
The human is a narrative being.
我们创造情感媒介 也就是所谓的故事
We construct emotional machines, so-called stories,
来交流 分享我们生活的这个世界
to communicate, to share the world in which we live
让每个人都能有不同的体验
and make it collectively experienceable.
我们很擅长这种事情
And we are pretty good at doing that.
从最原始的元素进化成为灵长类动物之后
Since the primordial soup mendelized into primate brains,
我们要么是在逃离大型猫科动物
we have either been fleeing from big cats
要么是在告诉别人我们是怎么逃离
or telling others about our escapes from the clutches
大型猫科动物的
of big cats.
围坐在篝火旁
Sitting around a campfire,
阐释和解构世界
interpreting and breaking down the world,
使之充满意义
charging it with meaning,
不管这些故事是否符合维♥基♥百♥科♥
regardless of whether the tales hold up to a Wikipedia check
的要求
or not.
人类也是一种政♥治♥生物
The human is also a political being,
虽然我的很多成员都不赞同这个想法
although many members of my species don't like that idea.
尽力习惯吧
Get used to it.
你回避不了政♥治♥
You can't avoid being political.
当你在沃尔玛买♥♥一瓶无糖红牛的时候
The moment you choose to buy a sugar free Red Bull
你就在进行一项政♥治♥行动
at Walmart, you commit a political act.
当你在pond5.com把帕切贝尔的经典作品
Same is true when you drag a royalty-free hip-hop version
（注：pond5.com是一个可以购买♥♥下载音乐和视频的网站）
的免税嘻哈版本放进你的购物篮里的时候
of Pachelbel's Canon in D into your shopping basket
也是如此
at pond5.com.
政♥治♥是权力和资源在一个特定的区域里
Politics is the practice of distribution of power
以及不同区域之间
and resources within a given community,
分配的结果
as well as the interrelationship between communities.
句号♥
Period.
我们在这个世界上写下一个故事
We project a certain story onto the world.
如果你是左派 激进派 或者保守派分子
The story differs if you are leftist, a progressive,
这个故事就会不一样了
or conservative.
但请放心 我认识的大多数人都自称是
But be assured, most people I know who call themselves
无政♥府♥主义者或者愚蠢的自♥由♥主义者
anarchists are just stupid libertarians.
我们通过叙述和概念的快捷方式
We communicate our views by using narrative
来传达我们的观点
and conceptual shortcuts.
那是一些简短的术语 如“自♥由♥”或“隐私”等
Abbreviated terms like 'freedom' or 'privacy,' and so on.
这些快捷方式很重要
These shortcuts are important.
如果有人把“全球变暖”称为不同的东西
If someone had called 'global warming' something different,
比如说“大气癌”
let's say 'atmosphere cancer,'
我们就用不着解释它为什么是一件坏事
we wouldn't have problems explaining why it's a bad thing.
我一直想要创建一个
I always wanted to create a glossary
重要术语的词汇表 因为日了狗的
of all-important terms, because, Jesus fucking McChrist,
它们总是在评论区和网络上
they are always used and abused in comment sections
被大肆滥用
on the World Wide Web.
我想对这些引人注目的牛犊
I wanted to give some of these Golden Calves of Discourse
进行重新审视 解释 评价
a second look, to explain, re-evaluate,
甚至可能会牺牲他们
and maybe even sacrifice them.
我和我的好朋友伊山拉瓦尔组队
I teamed up with my good friend Ishan Raval,
因为在政♥治♥迟钝这点上他和我不相上下
who definitely matches me in my political nerdiness.
我的意思是 在我们的谷歌♥个人资料图片中
I mean, look, we both have hands on our chins
我们都把手放在下巴上
in our Google profile pics.
哇
- [Man] Wahooo!
我们真是自命不凡
Pompous little fucks we are.
因为我知道很多有创造力的人
And because I know a lot of creative performers
会花大力气做一件没意义的事
who would do pretty much anything for almost nothing,
所以我决定拍这部电影
I decided to make this film.
我还要再举多久
How much longer do I have to hold this shit?
很重啊
It's heavy.
你可以把这件事写进你的简历里
You can put it in your resume!
拜托 再久一点
Come on, a little bit longer.
我们用的是我的车
-And we use my car.
你是运输队的头头 好吗
You're the head of transportation fleet, okay?
所以 永远不要忘记：
So, well, never forget:
你不讨厌意大利 你讨厌资本主义
You don't hate Italy, you hate capitalism.
多广大的一个词
What a big word.
太广大了
So big.
资本主义
Capitalism.
尽管我认识很多单词
One of the biggest words I know.
但这是最重要的词汇之一
And I know a lot of words.
还有市场
There's market, too, (tone beeping)
但这听起来有点太神秘了
but that one sounds a bit too mystical
我想那是布莱恩伊渥克
Oh, I think that's Brian Ewok!
很高兴我在最喜欢的嬉皮士咖啡店兼酒吧
Good to have a comfy seat
抢到一个舒服的座位
at my favorite hipster coffee shop
享受着密♥码♥是Helvetica的
and wine bar, enjoying free wifi from a network
免费无线网
whose password is Helvetica.
当我被朱朱夫人发现时
I'm just minding my own business
我只是在做自己的事
when I get spotted by Madame Juju,
她是友好的嬉皮士咖啡馆兼酒吧老板
the friendly hipster coffee shop and wine bar owner
她喜欢汗瑜伽
who does sweat yoga.
你好 要来点什么
Hello, how can I help you?
一杯双蛋酒星冰乐配上比目鱼面包块吗
A double eggnog frappuccino with tofu-breaded halibut?
在酒吧后面有张传♥单♥
There's a sticker
是宣传格林党候选人的
for the Green Party candidate behind the bar.
哦 我喜欢格林派
Oh, I love the Greens!
如此友好 如此体贴 如此可爱
So friendly, so caring, so cuddly!
马♥克♥思♥曾经称国家是
Marx once called the State
整个资产阶级中
a committee for managing the common affairs
一个管理公共事务的委员会
of the whole bourgeoisie.
感谢不存在的上帝
Thank the non-existing God for it,
因为管理是可能的
because where management is possible,
管理不善也是可能的
so also is mismanagement,
资产阶级的某些部分
and some parts of the bourgeoisie,
尤其是那些做瑜伽来保持健康的人
especially those who do sweat yoga
可能会被说服 从而
and keep their hearts wholesome, might be persuaded
利用这个委员会来反对自己的利益
to use that committee against their interests.
基本上 有一些人
Basically, there are people
拥有生产资料
who own the means of production,
比如说 高档咖啡机或服务器
let's say fancy coffee machines or servers
或者农场或服务器农场
or farms or server farms.
这就是资产阶级
That's the bourgeoisie.
还有一些没有自己
And then there are people who don't own
生产资料或资本的人
the means of production or capital,
他们必须靠劳动为生 即工人
so they have to sell their work: the workers.
所有的咖啡师和三明治制♥作♥师
That's all the baristas and sandwich artists
还有瑞安航♥空♥的接待人员都是这样
and RyanAir check-in personnel.
但即使是资产阶级 包括朱朱夫人在内
But even if the bourgeoisie, which includes Madame Juju,
在政♥治♥立场上也可能不是团结一致的
might not be united in its political allegiances,
他们的目的是一样的
they play the same purpose.
这不是她的错
It isn't her fault.
这不是我的错
It isn't my fault!
在她大脑的各个角落和皮质里
In all corners and cortices of her brain,
她可能只是把这当作她的工作
she might just regard this as her job,
一种简单的谋生方式 甚至是一种社区服务
an innocent livelihood and even a community service.
当然了
Oh absolutely!
人们爱我
People love me!
我是来自种满藏红花的卡尔弗林斯的玛吉吉伦哈尔
I am the Maggie Gyllenhaal of saffron-based cale frosting!
所有这些都可能是
All of that it might be.
但资本主义比任何生活方式和意志都要强大
But capitalism is bigger than any of our lives and wills.
它产生了一些资本家没有意识到的净效应
It produces net effects some capitalists don't realize.
朱朱可能不会被利润所驱使
Madame Juju's heart may not be driven by profit,
但她的生意一定会的
