林書豪漂亮回應辮髮風波

這幾天,林書豪的髮型再次成了輿論焦點,他也在球員論壇(The Players’ Tribune)上寫了篇文章,闡述自己的觀點。



原文:So…About My Hair

文生大叔翻譯版本:所以...關於我的頭髮



昨天,前籃網選秀狀元 Kenyon Martin,在其社群媒體上發表了一篇令人遺憾的留言,疑似扯到種族歧視:



“Do I need to remind this damn boy that his last name Lin?”

“Like, come on man. Let’s stop this, man, with these people, man. There is no way possible that he would have made it on one of our teams with that bulls— goin’ on on his head. Come on man, somebody need to tell him, like, ‘All right bro, we get it. You wanna be black.’ Like, we get it. But the last name is Lin.”



我是否該提醒一下這位該死的男孩,他的姓氏是”林”?

拜託,停止這些行為吧。你再怎麼處理你的黑人辮子頭,你也不像黑人的樣子。拜託,需要有跟人跟你說:「好了,兄弟,我們了解了,你想要變成黑人,融入黑人族群,我們明白。但是你姓”林”啊。」



林書豪的辮髮,出發點是善意,可惜惹來一身腥,不過向來 IQ 與 EQ 兼具的林書豪不卑不亢地回應道:

“Hey man, it’s all good. You definitely don’t have to like my hair and [are] definitely entitled to your opinion.”

“Actually I [am] legit grateful [for] you sharin it [to be honest]. At the end of the day, I appreciate that I have dreads and you have Chinese tattoos [because] I think its a sign of respect. And I think as minorities, the more that we appreciate each other’s cultures, the more we influence mainstream society. Thanks for everything you did for the Nets and hoops … had your poster up on my wall growin up.”



嗨,老兄,你完全可以不喜歡我的頭髮,你有權發表你的看法。事實上,我感激你跟我實話實說。到頭來,我欣賞自己的黑人辮,你欣賞你的中文紋身(Kenyon Martin在自己身上刺有中文紋身:患得患失),我認為這是尊重的記號。且我認為身為少數族群,更多地欣賞彼此的文化,愈能夠影響主流社會。謝謝你過去為籃網和籃球所做的一切…你的海報曾貼在我的牆上伴我成長。



大部分的網友們紛紛覺得 Kenyon Martin 的留言並不恰當,反而林書豪的發言贏得了風度。



Proper way to deal with racism.



這處理種族歧視的方法很不錯。



Lin’s response is really great.



林的回應真好。



之後,Kenyon Martin 發表了他的第二篇留言,強調他不是在扯種族問題,並適度地澄清他的說法,但也堅持自己的觀點。



“That man grown, that man can rock whatever hairstyle he want to rock.”

“… That don’t mean I have to like it or agree with it.”



他已經長大了,任何人都可以搖滾,不管他有甚麼髮型…

這不代表我必須去喜歡或認同這些行為。





林書豪的做法,不同的人有不同的看法,不過他要強調的是「對話」,尤其是不同文化間的對話,也許就像他自己在球員論壇上說的:



We need more empathy, more compassion and less judgment. That takes actual work and communication. So let’s start now.”



我們需要移情、同情心,少一點論斷,而這需要實際去做和溝通。所以,讓我們現在開始吧。
