【キンコン西野が全国の図書館3300館に絵本『えんとつ町のプペル』を寄贈】
まずは近況報告からさせていただきます。
2つあります。
まずは一つ目。
昨日、「スナック西野」の収録がありました。
「スナック西野」というのは、月に2度(ときどき3度)、僕の自宅に僕の友人をお招きして、呑みながらバッキバキに仕事の話をする僕がやっている月額590円のYouTubeチャンネルです。

昨日は、メガネブランドのOWNDAYS代表の田中さんに来ていただいて、あれやこれやとお話しさせていただきました。
その中でも「どうしてOWNDAYSは実店舗がメインなのに、コロナ禍において、ダメージを受けるどころか、経営を加速させることができたのか?」という話がもうメチャクチャ面白くて、経済評論家のそれじゃなくて、現場の手触り感のある話なんですね。
コロナをどう捉え、どう立ち回るか、今回は世界中の経営者の手腕が試されたと思うのですが、昨日、聞いたOWNDAYS田中さんの捉え方、立ち回り方が僕個人的には圧倒的に正しいと思っていて、その部分は是非、観ていただきたいです。
「スナック西野」が隔週土曜日に放送されます。夕方に10分の無料版が流れて、その夜に1時間の有料版が流れます。
次回のゲストはメガネブランドOWNDAYSの田中さん。その次は、おそらくSHOWROOMの前田さんです。
お楽しみに。

近況報告の二つ目です。
先日、公開された映画『えんとつ町のプペル』のメインビジュアル。こちらは映画館に貼り出されるポスターや、映画館にデーン!と出る看板に使われる、いわば「広告素材」なのですが、この出来がメチャクチャいいんです。
僕はスマホの待ち受けにもしています。
これ、普通に、額装して部屋に飾りたいよなぁと思ってですね、映画の公開日や声優さんの名前といった文字情報を全部抜いて、「アートポスター」として販売することになりました。
(コチラ)→https://silkhat.yoshimoto.co.jp/projects/2134
クラウドファンディングのリターンとして出しているのですが、一つ、条件があります。
ポスターって「配送」にしてしまうと、配送費が結構かかっちゃうんですね。
なので、12月に六本木ヒルズで開催する『えんとつ町のプペル光る絵本展in六本木ヒルズ(入場無料)』での直接受け渡しを条件とさせていただきました。
会場まで受け取りに来られる方、限定です。
友達の分を代表で取りに来るのもオッケーですし、ポスターの転売も全然オッケーですので、勝手に商売を始めていただいても構いません。
あと、サラッと言っちゃいましたが、六本木ヒルズで個展を開催しようと思ったら、3000万円ぐらいかかっちゃうのですが、それを「入場無料」というのは、そこそこ狂気の沙汰なんです。
これは、オンラインサロンの売り上げから個展の開催費用を捻出しているからできたわけで、オンラインサロンの売り上げというのは、こういうことに使わせていただいております。
エッフェル塔で開催した個展が入場無料だったのも、同じ理由です。
光る絵本展は入場無料ですので、是非、ご家族で遊びにいらしてください。
クリスマスに開催します。
というわけで、今日の本題です。
タイトルにありますとおり、この度、図書館協会の方とお話しさせていただいて、全国の図書館3300館に絵本『えんとつ町のプペル』を寄贈させていただくことが決定しました。
よく、「支援とか寄贈とかばっかりしていますが、大丈夫なんですか?」と聞かれるので、ご説明させていただきと、まず大前提として僕は「いい人」だと思われたいというのがあります。なので偽善中の偽善です。
くわえて、利益や貯金を増やすことには僕は一切の興味がなくて、なので、働いていただいたお金はエンタメ投資か支援活動に回すことを決めています。そういうコンセプトで会社をやっているんです。
最悪、食いっぱぐれて食う物に困ったら、サロンメンバーさんの家を一軒一軒回って、晩飯をご馳走になることを勝手に決めているので、そのへんセーフティーネットはバッチリなんですね。
次に、「図書館で読めちゃったら絵本が売れなくなるのでは?」というご意見・ご心配に対してお答えすると、たしかに「もう読んだから要らない」と考える方もいらっしゃるとは思うのですが、その一方で、「図書館で読んだ絵本を自分用に持っておきたい」という新しい需要も生まれると思っていて、これは「どっちとも言えない」というところだと思います。
くわえて僕は、絵本が「売れる売れない」よりも、「知ってる知らない」の方を重要視した方がいいという考えで、もちろん活動を続けていく以上、「売れること」というのはとっても大事なのですが、それよりも遥かに「知ってもらうこと」の方が大事だと思っています。
当たり前の話ですが、知られなかったら売れないので。
順番としては「知られる」方が先なんですね。
全てのサービスのお客さんは「知らないから買わないお客さん」と「知ってて買うお客さん」と「知ってて買わないお客さん」の3つに分けられて、まずは、知ってもらう割合を増やすことが大事だと思います。
図書館で「えんとつ町のプペル」を読んだご家族が、「えんとつ町のプペル」を買わなかったとしても、「えんとつ町のプペル」の話を、まだ「えんとつ町のプペル」を知らない友達とかに話してくれたら、その友達が「買ってくれる候補」には入る。
あとは、絵本は買わないけど、「図書館で読んだ絵本の映画は観に行く」という選択肢もある。
ときどき、「販売している本をどんどん貸し出されてしまうと、売り上げに悪影響が出る」と図書館を敵視する出版社さんがいらっしゃいますが、さっきみたいな考えでいくと、図書館の意味ってメチャクチャあると思っていて、敵どころか、互いに好影響をもたらしながら共存できる関係です。
なので僕は本屋さんも応援しますし、図書館も応援します。

[Xin Nishino gives a picture book ′′ a no-in-town ′′ to the 3300th library across the country]
First of all, I'm going to have a status report.
There are 2
First one.
Yesterday, there was a recording of ′′ snack nishino,"
′′ snack nishino ′′ is 2 degrees a month (sometimes 3 degrees), I invite my friend to my home, and I'm going to talk about work to basher while drinking. I'm doing it It's a youtube channel for 590 yen per month.
[join here ↓]
https://m.youtube.com/sponsor_channel/UCOy5sLcFLqYNqZ1iurp4dCg?noapp=1
Yesterday, I came to Mr. Tanaka, representative of the glasses brand, and I was able to talk to this and this.
Even in the middle of the day, ′′ why is owndays the main store, but in the corona misfortune, it was able to accelerate the management?" it's already so interesting, and it's not the economic critic, It's a touch of the site, isn't it?
How to capture corona and how to fight, this time I think that the skills of the management of the world have been tested, but yesterday, I heard how to capture owndays tanaka, and how to fight, I personally think that it is overwhelmingly right. I'd like you to watch that part.
′′ snack nishino ′′ will be broadcast on Saturday. A 10-minute free version will be flowing in the evening and a 1-hour paid version will be flowing that night.
The next guest is Mr. Tanaka from glasses brand owndays. Next is probably maeda from showroom.
Look forward to it.
https://youtu.be/J_E_Vixvvj8
It's the second one of the status report.
The main visual of the movie ′′ a in town ′′ which was published the other day. This is a poster that will be pasted in the cinema and Dane in the cinema! It's a ′′ advertising material ′′ that is used for the sign that comes out, but this is so messed up.
I'm also waiting for my smartphone.
I think this is normally framed and decorated in my room, I'm going to pull out all the character information such as the public day of the movie and the name of the voice actor, and I'm going to sell it as an ′′ Art Poster,"
(here) -> https://silkhat.yoshimoto.co.jp/projects/2134
I'm putting it out as a return to crowdfunding, but there's one condition.
When the poster is ′′ shipping it takes a lot of shipping costs.
So, in December, we were able to take a direct delivery at the ′′ a picture book book in roppongi hills (FREE ENTRY)′′ held in roppongi hills.
It's limited to those who can come to the venue to pick it up.
It's okay to come to pick up a friend's minute, and the resale of the poster is totally okay, so you can start your business.
I said it was easy, but I thought I was going to hold a solo exhibition in roppongi hills, and it takes about 3000 Yen, but it's a pretty madness that ′′ free entry ′′ is a lot of madness.
This is what I was able to do because I was able to make the cost of the exhibition from the sales of the online salon, and the sales of the online salon are used to use this.
It's the same reason why the exhibition held at the Eiffel Tower was free admission.
The Glow painting book is free to enter, so please come and visit us in your family.
It will be held at Christmas.
So today's chase.
As in the title, I was able to talk to the Library Association, and I was able to give you a picture book ′′ a no-′′ to the 3300th library across the country.
I often ask," I'm all about support and donations, but is it okay?" so let me explain it, and first of all, I want to think that I'm a ′′ good person ′′ Yes. So it's hypocrisy in hypocrisy.
In my mouth, I don't have any interest in increasing profit and savings, so the money that I've been working on is deciding to turn into an entertainment investment or support activity. I'm doing a company with that kind of concept.
The worst, if you're in trouble with the things you eat, you'll be able to go around the salon member's house and have a treat for dinner, so the safety net is perfect.
Next," if you read it in the library, you won't be able to sell a picture book?" if you answer your opinion, you'll think that there are some people who think that ′′ I don't need it because I read it already," Meanwhile," I think I'm going to have a new demand that I want to have a picture book that I read at the library, and I think this is ′′ I can't say both of them
In my mouth, I think that the picture book is better to take a look at the ′′ I don't know ′′ than ′′ I can't sell it," and of course I continue to work," I'm going to sell it," It's very important, but I think it's more important to ′′ know ′′ than that.
It's an obvious story, but if you don't know, you won't
In order, ′′ known ′′ is first.
Every service customer is divided into one of the ′′ customers who don't buy because they don't know ′′ and ′′ customers who know and buy ′′ and ′′ customers who know and don't buy ′′ and first of all, I'll get it I think it's important to increase the percentage.
Even if the family who read ′′ a in the library ′′ didn't buy ′′ a in the town," the story of ′′ a in the town ′′ is still ′′ a ′′ If you talk to a friend who doesn't know the-in one town, that friend will enter the ′′ candidate to buy ′′
Later, I don't buy a picture book, but there is also an option that ′′ I'm going to see the movie of the picture book I read at the library,"
Sometimes there is a publisher who is enemy to the library, ′′ if you are getting more and more of the books that are selling, it will affect the sales," but when you think about it earlier, the meaning of the library is messed up. It's a relationship that can coexist with each other, not an enemy.
So I'm rooting for the bookstore, and I'm rooting for the library too.

日前接受美國《華盛頓郵報》(Washington Post)專訪,針對兩岸關係、臺美關係及南海爭議等議題回應提問。內容如下:
問:您對習近平的印象如何?
答:就像我在CSIS講過的,對於習近平主席能夠勇敢地採取措施進行反貪腐的這件事情,我覺得在中國大陸發展的進程上,這是很重要的一件事情,我也非常期待他在處理兩岸關係上面,能夠有更大的彈性,也能夠充分認知臺灣是一個民主的社會。總統也好,或者政治領導人的決定,是必須要依循民意,所以我也希望他能夠體認到臺灣是一個民主社會,民意的走向其實是非常重要的。
問:有些學者說,習近平設定了要您同意92共識之期限,這個正確嗎?
答:兩岸的問題很多人都很關注,很多人都有他們自己的觀察,不過我相信,習近平主席做為一個國家的領導人,他應該有能力能夠綜合所有的情勢,來做一個很好的決定,做一個正確的決定。尤其是臺灣已經是一個非常民主的地方,民意的走向其實非常重要,所以設定期限,要求臺灣政府違反民意去承受一些對方的條件,其實可能性是不大的,我也相信他們應該會有這樣的認知。
問:自您5月下旬就職以來,陸方已經切斷臺灣與中國大陸之間正式溝通管道,您打算如何處理日常與北京間的關係?
答:我們雙方之間溝通的管道其實是很多元的,尤其是在這幾十年來的發展,雙方的交流其實非常多元而且頻繁,在交往的過程中,其實也產生很多互相溝通的模式,這些溝通不只是在官方的層次,還包括每一個不同層級,還有民間的溝通,都在整個兩岸之間溝通的這種結構裡面。我們雙方之間立場上的差異,其實在我520的就職演講裡面,我也盡了最大的力量,來讓雙方的立場可以縮小差距,我也相信在某種程度,中國大陸方面也會認知到520講話裡面的善意。
問:但看來似並非如此。中國大陸國務院臺灣辦公室表示,您的就職演說是「一個未完成的答卷」,迄今並無公開的跡象顯示他們肯定您的立場。而您身為總統,是否和中國大陸政府的對口有接觸?
答:就像我講的,現在所暫停的是兩會的管道、陸委會與國臺辦的管道,這在官方的意義或許是存在的,但問題是長久以來,雙方之間管道確實是很多元的,現在看到的兩會,也就是海基會與海協會兩會的溝通體制,只是整個多元管道中間的一部分。當我講到多元,其實它是有多層次的面向,不僅是政府在交流的過程中,很多政府機關跟他們在中國大陸的對口,也都有一定程度相互通訊息與交換意見的機制。I’m saying different levels of the government have different ways of communicating with their counterparts in China.(我政府各層級都有和中國大陸對口機構聯繫的管道)我不能在這個階段進入太多細節。
問:您認為您有在縮小臺灣與中華人民共和國之間的隔閡嗎?
答:這段時間以來,我們都非常謹慎處理與中國大陸的關係,我們除了不採取挑釁的態度,防止意外的發生之外,也希望透過資訊的交流,能夠建立起雙方的互信。
問:您代表許多較偏向認同「臺灣人」,而不是「中國人」的臺灣年輕一代,他們比老一輩更支持獨立。身為總統,您要如何維持兩岸關係的穩定,但同時也要讓年輕的選民滿意,您如何取得平衡?
答:It is a fact that different generations, and different people of different ethnic origins, they have different views on China. But they all agree on one thing: that is democracy. (事實上不同世代和不同族群的民眾對中國大陸會有不同的看法。但是,有一件事情,他們的意見一致,那就是民主。)
問:美國自1979年之後改承認「中華人民共和國」(首都在北京)代表「中國」,而將中華民國的臺灣(首都在臺北)視為一個「實體」(entity),您覺得這是公平的嗎?
答:我想我不太清楚美國在講這個字- “entity”的時候,它的意思是什麼,但是這個 “entity"有很多可以詮釋的空間。以臺灣來講,我們有一個完整的政府跟民主的機制,我們有軍隊,我們是一個可以為自己做決定的國家。所以,或許美國或者其他國家有不同的想法或是不同的角度,但從我們來看,其實絕大多數的臺灣人覺得我們確實是一個國家。
問:沒有被國際社會承認,您是否覺得不公平?
答:It is indeed unfair。(這確實是不太公平)
問:美國讀者與我都難以理解,身為臺灣總統,您只被允許在美過境停留48小時。
答:It is indeed. (的確如此。)
問:有報導指出,來自中國大陸的觀光客減少了,這會傷害臺灣的觀光產業嗎?
答:我們是看到有一些在量上面的減少,但是整體而言,對我們觀光產業有多大的衝擊,我們還在評估當中。不過整體來說,我們也希望我們觀光客的來源是多元的。所以,我們也會持續強化對於其他來源觀光客的爭取,而且我們的觀光產業可以發展出適應不同來源的觀光客,能夠更多元,而且更能夠適應不同的觀光客。
問:中國大陸如果執意的話,可能會對臺灣施加更多壓力,他們會威脅破壞你們與邦交國的關係並嚇跑他們,您會擔心這個嗎?
答:關於經濟的手段,我不是指他們(中國大陸)現在正在做,但如果他們用經濟手段加壓力的話,其實中國大陸也應該想像他們要付出的代價,就是今天中國大陸可以這樣對臺灣的話,它也可以對其他周邊的國家。所以,我相信很多周邊的國家都會很仔細地觀察中國大陸會不會對臺灣以經濟的手段來加壓,中國大陸如果要成為一個在這個區域是受尊敬的國家,我相信他們會小心地考慮這件事。
問:所以您認為臺灣與邦交國的關係會繼續維持嗎?
答:我們會盡力維持我們的邦交國,也希望跟我們邦交國發展出一種互惠的關係,也就是在經濟發展、社會發展、文化及教育上的交流都能持續強化,讓他們真心感受到與中華民國維持邦交是一件有意義且有助益的事情。
問:您的前任馬總統曾計畫向美國購買66架F16戰機,儘管有47位美國參議員致函支持,但最後都沒有結果,您會繼續提出此項請求嗎?
答:我們會持續評估國防的需求,持續向美國提出軍事合作計畫,所以這些方面我們會持續與美方來進行溝通,同時也會對防衛需求做更準確的評估。在這個階段,我們的需求主要還是在水面艦、潛艇、防空系統及網路安全,這些方面我們有比較強的需求。
問:馬前總統之前也希望向美國購買柴電潛艦,但未竟其功,您會再重覆此訴求嗎?
答:In three areas our needs are more urgent, there are surface ships and submarines, air-defense and cyber-security areas. In submarines, we are trying to develop our own, to develop indigenous capabilities.(在三個領域,我們的需求較急迫,如水面艦和潛水艇、空防和網路安全領域。在潛水艇方面,我們正嘗試著開發自己的潛艇,發展本國的能力。)
問:美國總統候選人柯琳頓(Hillary Clinton)與川普(Donald Trump),哪一位當選對臺灣比較好?
答:作為一個其他國家政府的領導人,我們不方便對美國總統選舉做過多的評論。不過我們也希望,無論哪一位當選美國總統,我們都能夠持續現在的關係,而且在現在的關係上,發展下一階段更緊密且互惠的關係。
問:您施政的焦點是內政,像是提高薪資以及增加休假的時間,但是目前臺灣經濟成長率低於1%,您如何在增強經濟發展的同時,亦增加社會福利呢?
答:我想這些事情,不是一個藥方可以解決所有問題,其實臺灣的經濟需要做結構性的調整。也就是我們新的經濟發展模式是走向以創新研發來讓我國的產業可以進到下一個階段、下一個時代。這跟以往我們以製造、效率,也就是成本驅動的成長模式是不一樣。因此我國在下一個世代的經濟產業規劃上非常強調創新與研發,而臺灣剛好是一個適合創新與研發的地方,因為我們有很多好的產業基礎,也有很多好的研發人才。因此只要我國在這裡著力夠深,我們會用幾個主要的產業來帶動整個臺灣產業的轉型,而這幾個主要的產業包括生技、綠能、智慧機械、IOT的產業及國防產業。
問:中國大陸不是你們第一大貿易夥伴嗎?
答:到現在為止還是,但問題是因為兩方的經濟互補性已經開始在降低、而競爭性已經在加強,所以我們對於雙方的經濟與貿易關係必須做一個重新檢討,務必要使雙方的經貿關係是一個相輔相成且互利的關係,而不是一個過度競爭的情況。
The two economies in the past had a high degree of complementarity, and since we had the ability to organize a manufacturing process, and then we move our manufacturing to the ability to China to make best use of their labor. And now the situation is very different. I mean, the labor cost is increasing and China has their own capability.(過去兩岸經濟有高度的互補性,而我們擁有製造業能力,並轉往對岸,善用他們的勞力。而今非昔比,對岸勞力成本增加,且已具備製造能力了。)
問:所以中國大陸變成臺灣的競爭對手?
答:They are more and more our competitors.(他們越來越是我們的競爭對手了。)
問:我看到您對海牙常設仲裁庭有關南海仲裁結果表示失望,該仲裁將臺灣聲索的太平島認定為「礁」,而非「島嶼」,因此不能享有200浬專屬經濟海域,您會遵守仲裁庭的判斷嗎?
答:我們已經公開聲明,這個仲裁的決定有損於臺灣的利益,所以我們不能夠接受,我們也認為這個裁判對臺灣沒有法律約束力。主要有幾個原因,第一個是因為我們是一個重要的利益相關方,但是我們沒有被邀請參與整個仲裁的程序。第二,我們對於被稱為「The Taiwan Authority of China」不能接受。第三,在這個地區,我們擁有主權的太平島,在裁決中被認為是一個「礁」而不是「島」,這是違反我們長期以來的主張,我們也認為它確實是一個島。在這裡我想利用這個機會,把臺灣政府對南海爭端的立場做一個說明。第一,當然是有關南海爭端應該依據國際法與海洋法,包括《聯合國海洋法公約》,用和平的方式來解決。第二,我們主張臺灣應該要納入多邊爭端解決的機制。第三,在這個地區的相關國家有義務維護南海的航行與飛越自由。第四,中華民國主張以「擱置爭議、共同開發」的方式處理南海爭議。我們期待相關國家能秉持相同方式進行協商,來和平解決這個爭端。
問:您是亞洲地區首位並非出自於政治世家的女性總統,您如何做到的?
答:我覺得我的出現其實跟臺灣的民主發展很有關係,也就是說,臺灣民主發展的過程是一個漸進、由下而上的過程。所以臺灣的新世代領導人其實都來自民間或是跟基層有比較強的連結的政黨。
問:在男性主導的社會裡,女性要爬升到領導人的地位一定很難。
答:Yes to a certain extent, but I think the society and our democracy is mature enough to appreciate the value of the individual politicians. They place emphasis on the quality and the value of individual politicians rather than their gender. So of course, some people will find it fashionable to find a woman leader, but I think the reason why people chose me as leader of this country was because of my policy, my values, suit the needs of Taiwan today.(某種程度上是,但我認為我們的社會和民主已夠成熟,能欣賞個別政治人物的價值。他們重視個別政治人物的品質和價值勝過性別。所以,當然,某些人會覺得找個女性領導人很時尚,但我覺得人民選我當這個國家的領導人,是因為我的政策、我的價值符合現今的臺灣需要。)
Meaning that we represent people who want to have change in this society, after years and decades this place has been dominated by a single party, with the exception of 2000-2008, but over the last few decades, all dominated by the KMT. The whole social structure and values were shaped by this regime, KMT government, over the years. But people now realize that we’re in a different situation now, we want to move forward, we have to restructure ourselves, and redefine the current values. So they want the place to be more democratic. They want this place to place more emphasis on human rights and transparency, in terms of government decision-making and public participation in the government’s decision-making process. And essentially people want to participate, they want to have a voice in the major decisions of the government. So this is somehow different from the way the government conducted business since the days when this place was an authoritarian place.(我們代表社會上渴望改變的人民。這片土地除了2000年到2008年以外,數十年來均被單一政黨,即國民黨所主導,整個社會結構及價值都由這個政權形塑而成。如今人民了解我們的環境已經不同,我們想要向前行,我們想要進行重整,重行定義目前的價值。人民想要更為民主的環境,在政府決策過程中,民眾能參與官方決策,並更重視人權及透明度。本質上來說,人民想要在政府重大決策中,能參與其中並發聲。這與過去這片土地是威權統治、由政府主導的情境,有些許不同。)
問:國民黨長期進行軍事統治?
答:So the expectation of the people is very different. They want democracy, they want public participation, they want transparency, they want to have fair elections, they want to have sound judicial system, not too much interfered by politics. They want to have an effective judicial system to settle whatever disputes that people may have in their daily lives so they want to have a good social safety net to protect them in case they fell in a very competitive society. (現在人民的期待有很大的不同,他們想要民主、民眾參與的機會與透明度,以及公平的選舉;他們想要有完善的司法體制,不要有太多的政治干預;他們想要有效的司法體制,以處理日常生活遇到的爭議,擁有妥善的安全網來保障他們,以防在競爭劇烈的社會中陷入困頓。)

【為什麼「別擔心錢了,去旅行吧」是個蠢到不行的建議
Why “Don’t Worry About Money, Just Travel” Is the Worst Advice of All Time】
(Sources: Rob@flickr, girllostinthecity.com)
(Time.com, Jul. 1, 2015) —by Chelsea Fagan
I have an internet acquaintance that I’ve been following on social media for a little over two years now, an all-around nice, smart girl who blogs and does odd jobs and has recently decided to go back get a Master’s. In Europe. For a degree that, by all reasonable accounts, is probably not going to lead to a great job. And she knows this, I think, because she talks about it as “an opportunity to learn and expand her mind,” more than any sort of preparation for a future career. Which is fine, but the truth of the matter is that she is able to enjoy such freedom — to be a wanderer of sorts who enjoys travel, study for the sake of study, and long conversations over good dinners — because she comes from a good bit of wealth and, if not subsidized entirely, never has to worry about her safety net. She won that particular bit of genetic lottery, and it’s useless to begrudge her the freedom that fate bestowed on her.
我有個網路上認識兩年多的女性友人,是個在社群網站上人緣頗佳且聰明的女孩,只做些打工、寫寫部落格過日子,最近又決定回去修個碩士學位。那是個位於歐洲,且是個無論怎麼合理的解釋也肯定對未來找到好工作一事永遠派不上用場的學位。而且我想這位女網友也知之甚詳,因為她描述起這學位時,只提到說「想有個機會擴展心靈」,而非是要用來準備將來就業所需。乍看之下這女孩的一切令人稱羨,但上述中她之所以能夠享有這樣的自由,像是漫無目的的出國旅行、為了念書而念書、花費很多的時間討論美味晚餐…,這些全因她來自有錢的家庭。這女孩就像是中了基因的樂透一樣,她的自由自在是投對胎所致的,所以一般人對其毋需羨慕也毋需妒恨。
But it is useful — important, even — to begrudge her the attitude that comes with it, one that is all too prevalent amongst young people who do not have to worry about the foundations of their future financial security: This idea that you must travel, as some sort of moral imperative, without worrying about something as trivial as “money.” The girl in question posts superficially inspiring quotes on her lush photos, about dropping everything and running away, or quitting that job you hate to start a new life somewhere new, or soaking up the beauty of the world while you are young and untethered enough to do so. It’s aspirational porn, which serves the dual purpose of tantalizing the viewer with a life they cannot have, while making them feel like some sort of failure for not being able to have it.
但真正有用甚至可說必須的是,去妒羨像這個女孩背後代表的這種生活態度。在美國就有一大群奉行這樣教條式信念卻又衣食無憂的年輕人,他們認為:趁年輕就要出國旅行、不必擔心金錢這種小事。這女孩在自己飲食作樂的照片上面,寫滿了膚淺的勵志小語貼文,像是:「拋下所有束縛,逃脫一切吧!」;「辭去妳討厭的工作,去另一個新天地展開新的人生吧!」;「趁著妳依舊年輕且無拘無束的時候,就該沉浸在世界的美麗之中」。這種意識型態活脫就是「夢想生活的情慾賁張」,且在其背後隱藏著雙重意涵,一是要去誘惑、折磨那些過不起這種生活的人們,而其二就是要讓他們自責受挫,認為自己為何不能像那些人一樣「想走就走」。
It’s a way for the upper classes to pat themselves on the back for being able to do something that, quite literally, anyone with money can buy. Traveling for the sake of travel is not an achievement, nor is it guaranteed to make anyone a more cultured, nuanced person. (Some of the most dreadful, entitled tourists are the same people who can afford to visit three new countries each year.) But someone who has had the extreme privilege (yes, privilege) of getting out there and traveling extensively while young is not any better, wiser, or more worthy than the person who has stayed home to work multiple jobs to get the hope of one day landing a job that the traveler will assume is a given. It is entirely a game of money and access, and acting as though “worrying about money” on the part of the person with less is some sort of trivial hangup only adds profound insult to injury.
「為了旅行而旅行」只不過就是上層階級彼此自我標榜的行為,不過他們卻沒有意識到這只不過是另一項「只要有錢就能做到」的事情。出國旅行本身稱不上是成就,也不保證會讓你變成更有文化、更與眾不同的人(有些最駭人、最有聲名的遊客也就是那種每年都有辦法去三個新國家觀光的族群);同樣的,趁年輕出國旅行並不表示你更有智慧、更成功、更高人一等,那只代表你有錢有優勢、有資源這樣做而已。那些非常努力、身兼數職才能得到那些經常出國旅行的人覺得理所當然屬於他們的工作的那些人,就真的較低下嗎?出國旅行完全就只是個金錢跟門路的遊戲,卻有人把實質上深深困擾多數人的經濟問題,講成「瑣碎不重要的小事」,這只會加深社會的貧富傷口。
I was able to travel, and even though I paid for my life abroad with my own work, it was still a result of a healthy amount of privilege. I was from a middle-class family who I did not need to support or help financially, I knew that I could always slink back to their couch if things didn’t work out, and I had managed to accrue a bit of savings while living at home for the few months before I left. There are millions of people who have none of these things, and even if they wanted to pay for travel on their own, would simply not be able to because of the responsibility or poverty they lived with. For even my modest ability to see the world, I am eternally grateful.
我曾經出國旅行,但即使我是自食其力的工作賺旅費出遊,我知道這一切終究還是一種特權,這都是因為我來自一個中產階級的家庭。我不需要在金錢上去資助或協助家裡,就算狀況再怎麼壞,我至少都有爸媽家的沙發可以回去依靠,況且我外出旅遊前我也能藉由住在家裡擠個月來利用利息累積身上的存款。可是這世界上有成千上萬的人沒有我所具備的上述條件,而且即便是他們想要自費出國「見見世面」,也會因為他們與生俱來的責任感或窮困而裹足不前。因此對於能夠出去見識這個世界的小小能力,我一直心懷感激。
And what’s more, I understand (perhaps even better after having traveled a good amount) that nothing about your ability or inability to travel means anything about you as a person. Some people are simply saddled with more responsibilities and commitments, and less disposable income, whether from birth or not. And someone needing to stay at a job they may not love because they have a family to take care of, or college to pay for, or basic financial independence to achieve, does not mean that they don’t have the same desire to learn and grow as someone who travels. They simply do not have the same options, and are learning and growing in their own way, in the context of the life they have. They are learning what it means to work hard, to delay gratification, and to better yourself in slow, small ways. This may not be a backpacking trip around Eastern Europe, but it would be hard to argue that it builds any less character.
更甚者,我了解到(也許是在經歷了好一些旅行之後變得更加了解),一個人有沒有出國旅行的經驗,根本就跟你是什麼樣的人沒有關連。不論是否天生如此,有些人就是肩負著更多的責任和承諾,以及較少能自由分配的收入。而且也是有人因為要養家活口、或是還學貸、還是要盡早達到經濟獨立,所以選擇留在自己可能不喜愛的工作崗位上,不去旅行。這並不表示他們想要學習跟成長的渴望輸給那些常旅行的人。這只不過是他們沒有相同的選擇,而改用他們所擁有的生命型態自我學習與成長而已。他們學習的課題是努力工作的意義,學習先苦後甘,慢慢地,以細微的方式讓自己變更好。這聽起來固然不像東歐背包行一樣酷炫,但是無法否認這樣做也能形塑同等的人格特質。
Encouraging that person to “not worry about money,” or to “drop everything and follow their dreams,” demonstrates only a profound misunderstanding about what “worrying” actually means. What the condescending traveler means by “not worrying” is “not making it a priority, or giving it too much weight in your life,” because on some level they imagine you are choosing an extra dollar over an all-important Experience. But the “worrying” that is actually going on is the knowledge that you have no choice but to make money your priority, because if you don’t earn it — or decide to spend thousands of it on a trip to Southeast Asia to find yourself — you could easily be out on the streets. Implying that this is in any way a one-or-the-other choice for millions of Americans is as naive as it is degrading.
在鼓勵別人「別擔心錢」或是「拋開一切,來去追夢」的行為背後,表現出來的是一種對於為了金錢「擔心」的深刻誤解。那種居高臨下的旅遊鼓吹者說出「別擔心」的同時,意味著「別把錢排在第一位,或是在生活中別把錢看得太重」,因為在他們某種程度的想像裡,你是因為想多省一些錢而放棄了重要的人生體驗。但是對於「真正在擔心錢」的人來說,這其實代表著他們別無選擇而必須把錢擺在第一位,因為要是他們真的狠下心灑錢來去東南亞進行一趟尋找自我之旅,接下來就很有機會流落街頭。把這種真正的「擔心」拿來當成一種這樣也好那樣也好的個人價值觀選擇,不僅是想法太過天真而且還相當地侮辱人。
Everyone needs to forge their own path to financial independence and freedom. And perhaps you are lucky enough that your path involves a lot of wandering around, taking your time, and trying a bunch of new things — because you know that security will be waiting for you at the end of the rainbow. That’s fine, and there is no need to feel guilt or shame over your privilege, if only because it’s unproductive and helps no one. But to encourage people to follow your very rare path, because you feel it is the only way to spiritual enlightenment or meaning, makes you an asshole. It makes you the person who posts vapid “inspirational” quotes that only apply to a tiny percent of the population who already has all the basics covered. And God forbid anyone who needs the money actually does follow that terrible advice, they won’t be like you, traipsing around South America and trying degrees for fun. They will, after their travels are over, be much worse off than when they started. And no souvenir keychain is going to make that reality sting any less.
每個人都需要打造自己通往經濟獨立與自由的前程。也許有些幸運的人們是可以在自己的路途上繞來繞去,好整以暇,還是嘗試些新玩意兒,因為他們知道在彩虹盡頭處也是一片康莊祥和的安全道路在等待著。反正沒有關係,擁有優勢不必感到有罪惡感或深以為恥,就算是這種優勢被利用成並無生產力也沒有對他人產生助益。但是鼓勵別人也走上他們這條稀罕至極的道路,只因為他們認為這是唯一可以通往精神啟蒙、發現人生意義的路,那就真的混帳加三級了。這種心態讓他們淪落成那種發表乏味枯燥勵志小語的人,只能跟一群本來就已經夠有錢的人相互取暖。再說上帝有知也會禁止那些真正需要擔心錢的人聽從這些糟糕的建議,他們可不比有錢的傢伙們,能去漫步遊蕩全南美洲找著各式各樣的樂子。他們在旅程的最後會發現,從另一個地方回來之後,一切變得比出發時還更糟。道時再多的紀念鑰匙圈都拯救不了現實椎心的殘酷。
