Siri的《極客文化如何成為流行文化》。

Once niche and ridiculed geek culture has exploded into the mainstream.

曾經小眾和被嘲笑的極客文化已經爆發成為主流。

How did so much change join us as we look at how Pulp fiction, comics, video games, anime and nerd heroes became pop culture staples.

怎麼會有這麼大的變化，和我們一起看看紙漿小說、漫畫、電子遊戲、動漫和書呆子英雄是如何成為流行文化的主旋律的。

Whether serving as the comedic relief or background characters, geeks, nerds and other misfits have been the subject of ridicule in film and television for years.

無論是作為喜劇人物還是背景人物，宅男、書呆子和其他不合群的人多年來一直是影視作品中被嘲笑的對象。

But over the past couple of decades, we've seen an interesting shift in their portrayal on screen instead of being mocked there, now, frequently presented as endearing, lovable and even heroic.

但在過去的幾十年裡，我們看到他們在銀幕上的形象發生了有趣的變化，而不是在那裡被嘲諷，現在，經常被呈現為可愛，可愛，甚至是英雄。

So how did social outcasts come to run the show?

那麼，社會上的棄兒是怎麼跑出來的呢？

In the 18 hundreds, a geek was a circus freak who would run around biting the heads off chickens.

在18世紀，一個怪胎是一個馬戲團的怪胎，他會跑來跑去咬雞的頭。

So yeah, not exactly an esteemed member of society gigs formed their own union.

所以啊，不完全是受人尊敬的社會成員演出組成了自己的工會。

Yeah, that one you made up, I suppose all they pay doing with chicken heads.

是啊，你編的那個，我想他們只用雞頭來支付。

The word kept its pejorative sense when it became a high school insult against social outcasts.

當這個詞成為高中生對社會棄兒的侮辱時，它保留了它的貶義。

Today, there's a lot of overlap between geek and nerd.

如今，極客和書呆子之間有很多重疊的地方。

Both are associated with eccentricity and intelligence.

But arguably, while nerd usually keynotes intellectualism, geek can refer to any enthusiast of some niche field or hobby conspiracy.

但可以說，雖然書呆子通常以知識分子為關鍵詞，但極客可以指任何一個小眾領域或愛好陰謀的愛好者。

Who you gonna call Way can actually thank Dr Seuss for the word nerd, which first appeared in his 1950 Children's book If I Ran the Zoo character Gerald McGrew says that he'll look for a nickel, a nerd and a seersucker, too, whereas Seuss's version of a nerd looks like a long lost relative of the Grinch.

你要給誰打電話威其實可以感謝蘇斯博士，這個詞最早出現在他1950年的兒童讀物《如果我開動物園》中的角色傑拉爾德-麥格魯說，他也會找一個五分錢、一個呆子和一件西服，而蘇斯版的呆子看起來就像一個失傳已久的親戚鬼靈精。

Society came to view nerds as scrawny intellectuals with nasal voices, thick glasses, slicked back hair and pocket protectors.

社會開始把書呆子看成是瘦弱的知識分子，帶著鼻音，戴著厚厚的眼鏡，梳著光溜溜的頭髮，戴著口袋保護套。

Then somewhere in the middle, you had dorks, dweebs, eggheads, squares and Poindexter's.

然後在中間的某個地方，你有呆子，呆子，蛋頭，方塊和波因德克斯特的。

Basically everybody loved Fonzie and nobody wanted to be Potsie.

基本上每個人都喜歡Fonzie，沒有人想成為Potsie。

That said, Fonzie was essentially a sillier version of James Dean's character in Rebel Without a Cause, who arguably paved the way for geek and nerd heroes.

說起來，方子本質上是詹姆斯-迪恩在《無緣無故的叛逆》中的角色的傻逼版，他可以說是為宅男和呆子英雄鋪平了道路。

Sure, Dean was handsome, well dressed in anything but nerdy, but Jim Stark was one of the earliest examples of a misfit hero.

當然，迪恩很英俊，穿著什麼都好，就是不呆板，但吉姆-斯塔克是最早的不合群英雄的例子之一。

He didn't fit the crowd, but that is the very reason audiences were drawn to him.

他不適合人群，但這正是觀眾被他吸引的原因。

You're tearing may by what you you say one thing he says another, and everybody changes back again.

It's the best one works, doesn't you're telling me.

這是最好的一個作品，不你告訴我。

In the midst of all the testosterone, however, several unlikely heroes put brains before brawn, one of the first examples was Kevin Flynn in 1982.

然而，在所有的睪丸激素中，有幾個不太可能的英雄把大腦放在了膂力之前，第一個例子是1982年的凱文-弗林。

Strawn Flynn is a programmer and a skilled gamer, but he wasn't depicted as a stereotypical nerd.

斯特朗-弗林是一名程序員，也是一名熟練的遊戲玩家，但他並沒有被描繪成一個刻板的書呆子。

He was a normal guy who just so happens to be computer savvy, leading to success both in the virtual and real worlds on the other side of the screen.

I'm going to take back some of the things I said about you.

He's the stone faced, no nonsense one, which perfectly complements Peter's sarcasm, raise constant rambling and Winston's everyman pragmatism.

他是石頭臉，不講理的一個人，這與彼得的諷刺，提高不斷的漫不經心和溫斯頓的永遠的實用主義完美互補。

I just got overexcited E, but it wasn't an incredible Pete.

我只是興奮過度了E，但這不是一個不可思議的皮特。

I mean, we actually touched the etheric plane.

我是說，我們真的接觸到了以太平面。

Something similar could be said about 1985 The Goonies who are all distinctive misfits that brings something unique to the table that a year.

類似的事情可以說是1985年的《鬼怪》，他們都是與眾不同的不務正業者，帶來的東西獨特的一年。

Most movies at the time leaned into caricatures.

當時大部分電影都偏向於漫畫。

Revenge of the Nerds, for example, is a mixed bag.

比如《書呆子復仇記》，就是一個混搭的例子。

On the one hand, it empowers nerds and encourages audiences to treat them with respect.

一方面，它賦予書呆子權力，鼓勵觀眾尊重他們。

Any of you that have ever felt stepped on, left out, picked on, put down.
