等一下,大家先停停。
我想向大家推荐一部片子——《美女上错身/drop dead diva》,尤其是1季第二集——法治社会的公平诉求。片子的最后讲的是身材size14的律师Jane怎么为她的客户,一位胖姑娘Lucy辩护的。Lucy以前是酒保,因为身材渐胖不再sexy而被酒吧开除。Jane在使用了一切理由为她辩护仍然无法奏效时,她的美女朋友Stacy无意中提到了一个至强的申诉理由——“not fair”。以下是Jane在陪审团面前的总结陈述,令人倍感平等原则对于一个以自由民主博爱立国的国家公民们来说,是多么的理直气壮,这种追求平等的坚定信念,让人十分感动,甚至羡慕,实在是一部难得的好片子:
Recently, I went to the sun bar, and I saw the place through a fresh set of eyes. No female employee was larger than a size 4, and you know what? I...felt uncomfortable. No wonder the owner is worried about profits. He's promoting this narrow-minded view of sexy. If the sun bar really wants to make money, then maybe they should make all of us feel welcome. At this point, I would like to ask my friends in the gallery to please stand up. What's going on? Just making my closing, counselor. All of these women are size 14, the average for a woman in America today. However, based on the sun bar's definition of sexy, none of these women would be hired. That is wrong. You know that federal laws protect us based on race, religion, sex, age, veteran status, disability, and national origin. But what about size? Well, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Santa Cruz have all passed laws outlawing discrimination based on weight. And now you have an opportunity to extend that protection to Lucy. Thank you.
Wait. I...I'm not...I'm not done yet. Have you noticed that people have euphemisms? For being overweight? Large and plus-sized, full-figured and rubenesque. And no one, not even me...especially not me...Wants to say the word "fat." But "fat" is only pejorative when we allow places like the sun bar to tell us that being fat somehow makes us less of a person. Tell the sun bar that being fat is not cause for being fired. Thank you.
再回到主题:中国好,你为什么不回中国去?
我想说的是,中国的现状对很多人not fair,虽然我个人的物质生活并不差,但是我会时常觉得不开心,即便对中国有着浓厚朴素的情感,但我实在没办法强迫自己去认同中国目前大环境下的价值取向,思维模式和生活方式。 |
