北京迷笛音樂節(jié)上,行為藝術(shù)家韓冰現(xiàn)身,發(fā)起遛白菜活動。韓冰稱,現(xiàn)代人的生活節(jié)奏快,精神壓力大,沒朋友可以傾訴,有個朋友也不見得能幫你清除寂寞?!板薨撞恕闭娴臎]啥可好奇的,大白菜寂寞,又有隨時被丟棄的危險,人也如此,說白了,“遛白菜”,其實“遛”的是自己。
Lonely teenagers in China who feel life is pointless and who struggle to find friends have taken to befriending the lowly vegetables as the perfect, undemanding companions.
在中國,寂寞的青少年們開始跟廉價的蔬菜做朋友,把它們當做完美的、不求回報的好伙伴。這些青少年普遍覺得生活沒有目標,又苦于找不到朋友。
And the sight of them out 'walking' the cabbages in a bid to battle loneliness is the latest way of meeting someone new - as cabbage walkers use their weird pets as a way to start up conversations with each other.
最近,通過遛白菜來排遣寂寞成為他們結(jié)交新朋友的一種方式,遛白菜的年輕人之間可以用白菜來挑起話題。
A group of youths were recently photographed walking cabbages at a music festival named the Midi Music Festival in the Chinese capital Beijing.
最近在北京舉行的迷笛音樂節(jié)上,有照片拍到一群年輕人在遛白菜。
Lui Ja Chen, 17, and one of the cabbage walking youths, said: "I feel I can transfer my negative thoughts about myself to the cabbage, go for a walk with it and come home feeling better about myself.
17歲的陳璐佳(音譯)是其中之一,她說:“我覺得自己的負面情緒可以轉(zhuǎn)移到白菜上,遛著白菜走一圈再回家讓我感覺好多了。”
"If I see someone else it's easy to start up a conversation with them about their cabbage, and they are better than dogs as they don't bark, or start fights with other cabbages. It doesn't even need feeding, or leave a mess on the pavement.
“如果我看到其他遛白菜的人,我們可以從白菜聊起來,而且白菜比狗好多了,它們不會叫,不會跟別的白菜打架,它們更不需要喂,當然也不會污染街道?!?/p>
"In fact afterwards, I can throw the cabbage away and feel that I have tossed my feelings out with it."
“事實上,遛完以后我就可以把白菜扔了,然后感覺我把不好的情緒跟它一起扔掉了。”
