Hello. This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Phil.

您好。這裡是 BBC Learning English 頻道的 6 分鐘英語。我是菲爾 I'm Phil.

We hear a lot about the difficulties young men face growing up in the modern world and how many of them are looking online for answers.

我們經常聽到年輕人在現代社會中成長所面臨的困難，以及他們中的許多人如何在網上尋找答案。

This has created a situation which has been given the name the Manosphere. What exactly is the Manosphere?

這就形成了一種被稱為 "人際圈 "的局面。究竟什麼是人際圈？

Here's Anita Rani, presenter of BBC Radio 4's Women's Hour, with one definition.

下面是 BBC 廣播 4 臺 "婦女一小時 "節目主持人 Anita Rani 給出的一個定義。

The Manosphere consists of online communities and influencers that promote the idea that emotional control, material wealth, physical appearance and dominance, especially over women, are markers of male worth.

男性圈由網絡社區和有影響力的人組成，他們宣揚的觀點是，情感控制、物質財富、外貌和支配力，尤其是對女性的支配力，是男性價值的標誌。

The Manosphere describes attitudes expressed online that men are superior.

男性圈（Manosphere）描述的是網上表達的男性高人一等的態度。

You won't find any website named www.manosphere.com, but in social media posts, TikTok videos and other online content, ideas about how to be a man are finding a young male audience, sometimes with damaging results.

你找不到任何名為 www.manosphere.com 的網站，但在社交媒體帖子、TikTok 視頻和其他網絡內容中，關於如何成為男人的想法正在吸引年輕男性閱聽人，有時甚至造成了破壞性結果。

In this episode, we'll hear from Will Adolfi, a young British man who followed the Manosphere until, in his mid-twenties, he suffered a breakdown. And as usual, we'll learn some useful new words and phrases.

在本期節目中，我們將聆聽英國青年威爾-阿多菲（Will Adolfi）的講述，他一直關注 "人際圈"，直到二十多歲時精神崩潰。和往常一樣，我們將學到一些有用的新詞和短語。

And remember, you'll find all the vocabulary from this episode on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.

請記住，您可以在我們的網站 bbclearningenglish.com 上找到本集的所有詞彙。

But first, I have a question for you, Georgie. According to men's self-help group, the Movember Foundation, a majority of British young men regularly engage with masculinity influencers online. But how many exactly? Is it… a – two thirds, b – three quarters, or c – eight tenths?

但首先，我有一個問題要問你，喬吉。根據男性自助組織 Movember 基金會的數據，大多數英國年輕男性經常在網上與男性魅力影響者互動。但具體有多少呢？是......a-三分之二，b-四分之三，還是c-十分之八？

OK, well, we'll find out the answer later in the programme.

好吧，我們稍後會在節目中找到答案。

The Manosphere includes the idea that the world is biased against men.

男性圈包括認為世界對男性有偏見的觀點。

According to the social media influencers who promote these views, being a man means being strong, rich and controlling others, especially women.

根據宣傳這些觀點的社交媒體影響者的說法，作為男人意味著強壯、富有和控制他人，尤其是女性。

As a young boy, Will Adolfi was unlike other boys at school and as he grew into a teenager, he started engaging with some of these ideas.

小時候的威爾-阿道夫與學校裡的其他男孩不同，當他長成少年時，他開始接觸這些想法。

Here he tells BBC Radio 4 programme Woman's Hour how it all started.

在這裡，他向 BBC 廣播 4 臺的 "婦女一小時 "節目講述了這一切是如何開始的。

I didn't quite fit in the box. You know, I was doing ballet, I wanted to be an actor,

我不太適合這個框框。我跳芭蕾舞，我想當演員、

I wrote poetry and I was an easy target. By the time I got to 14 years old, if you look at pictures of me, you can see bravado, you can see a mask, I see it.

我寫詩，很容易成為別人的目標。當我 14 歲時，如果你看我的照片，你會看到我的虛張聲勢，你會看到我戴著面具。

I unknowingly did my best to adhere to what we call the man box, which is a kind of rigid set of ideals and rules that I may feel pressure as a boy to follow in order to be a quote-unquote real man.

我在不知不覺中盡力遵守我們所說的 "男人框框"，這是一套刻板的理想和規則，作為一個男孩，我可能會感到壓力，必須遵守這些理想和規則，才能成為一個真正的男人。

The teenage years can be difficult for someone who's different. Will enjoyed poetry and ballet and he says this made him an easy target, someone who's vulnerable and easily taken advantage of.

對於一個與眾不同的人來說，青少年時期是很難熬的。威爾喜歡詩歌和芭蕾舞，他說這讓他很容易成為別人的目標，一個容易受到傷害和利用的人。

Will responded with bravado, a show of bravery to impress other people but which often hides someone's true feelings. He felt pressure to present himself as a quote-unquote real man. The phrase quote-unquote can be used to show you're repeating someone else's words, especially if you don't agree with them.

威爾的回答是虛張聲勢，這是一種給別人留下深刻印象的勇敢表現，但往往掩蓋了一個人的真實情感。他感到了壓力，必須把自己表現得像一個引號不引號的真正男人。quote-unquote這個短語可以用來表示你在重複別人的話，尤其是在你不同意的情況下。

But behind the bravado, Will struggled to get a girlfriend or hold down a job.

但是，在誇誇其談的背後，威爾在交女朋友和找工作方面卻舉步維艱。

Offline, his life seemed to reflect messages he saw in the videos he was watching online that his problems were caused by women.

在線下，他的生活似乎反映了他在網上觀看的視頻中看到的資訊，即他的問題是由女人造成的。

Here's Will again, sharing more with BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour.

下面是威爾與 BBC 廣播 4 臺 "婦女一小時 "節目分享的內容。

When I went online to search for answers, I had an influencer telling me the world hates men, which really felt true and it kind of distorted my worldview where it got painted over, this whole brush, where I started to feel that was really true, that everyone hates men, so it was an us versus them.

當我上網尋找答案時，有一個有影響力的人告訴我，全世界都討厭男人，這讓我感覺很真實，它有點扭曲了我的世界觀，讓我覺得這一切都是真的，每個人都討厭男人，所以是我們和他們的對立。

Will's view of the world became distorted, twisted out of shape and unrealistic. He started seeing everyone as an enemy. Will says he painted everyone with the same brush, an idiom meaning to unfairly think everyone has the same bad qualities as a certain person.

威爾的世界觀變得扭曲、變形和不切實際。他開始把所有人都視為敵人。威爾說他用同一支畫筆描繪了所有人，這個成語的意思是不公平地認為每個人都有和某個人一樣的壞品質。

Will saw the world as us versus them, a phrase which is used to show hostility between two opposing groups, in this case the men in the manosphere and everyone else, especially women, progressives and the mainstream media, who he believed wanted to limit their power.

在威爾看來，這個世界就是 "我們與他們 "的世界。"我們與他們 "用來表示兩個對立群體之間的敵意，在這裡指的是男人圈的男人和其他人，尤其是女性、進步人士和主流媒體，他認為這些人想要限制他們的權力。

Luckily for Will, his experiences in the online world of the manosphere ended, but not before his mental health had declined to the point of a breakdown.

對威爾來說幸運的是，他在網絡世界 "男人圈 "的經歷結束了，但在此之前，他的精神健康狀況已經下降到了崩潰的地步。

Now he visits schools around the UK telling his story to young people, reminding them always to question what they see and hear online.

現在，他走訪了英國各地的學校，向年輕人講述自己的故事，提醒他們時刻質疑自己在網上的所見所聞。

OK, Phil, I think it's time to reveal the answer to your question.

好了，菲爾，我想是時候揭曉你問題的答案了。

Yes, I asked you how many British young men regularly engage with masculinity influencers online.

是的，我問你有多少英國年輕人經常在網上與有影響力的男性形象代言人互動。

Thank you. OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned, starting with an easy target, a vulnerable person who is easily taken advantage of.

謝謝。好了，讓我們來回顧一下我們學過的詞彙，首先是 "易受攻擊的目標"（easy target），即容易被利用的弱勢人群。

Bravado is a show of bravery or confidence to impress people.

炫耀是為了給人留下深刻印象而表現出的勇敢或自信。

The phrase quote-unquote can be used to show you are repeating someone else's words, especially if you do not agree.

引用-未引用 "這一短語可以用來表示你在重複別人的話，尤其是在你不同意的情況下。

Something which is distorted has become misshapen so that it looks strange or unnatural.

扭曲的東西變得形狀不對，看起來很奇怪或不自然。

The phrase us versus them is used to show hostility between two opposing groups.

us versus them（我們與他們）一詞用於表示兩個對立群體之間的敵意。

And finally, if you paint everyone with the same brush, you unfairly think everyone has the same bad qualities of one person.

最後，如果你用同一支筆來描繪每個人，你就會不公平地認為每個人都有一個人的壞品質。
