This story starts: I was at a friend's house,

故事是這樣開頭的：我當時在一個朋友家，

and she had on her shelf a copy of the DSM manual,

也就是精神疾病診斷與統計手冊。

裡頭列出每個已知的精神疾病。

And it used to be, back in the '50s, a very slim pamphlet.

在 1950 年代的時候，這只是一本很薄的手冊。

And then it got bigger and bigger and bigger,

現在它已經有 886 頁這麼多了。

And it lists currently 374 mental disorders.

if you have recurrent dreams of being pursued or declared a failure --

如果你定期作有關被追趕或者被稱為失敗者的夢 --

and all my dreams involve people chasing me down the street

而我所有的夢都涉及人們在街上追趕我，

I've got parent-child relational problems,

to have both malingering and generalized anxiety disorder,

詐病和廣泛性焦慮症是很不尋常的事，

because malingering tends to make me feel very anxious.

因為詐病時容易使我感覺非常焦慮。

wondering if I was much crazier than I thought I was,

or maybe it's not a good idea to diagnose yourself with a mental disorder

或者如果你不是受過訓練的專業人士，

診斷你自己的精神疾病不是個好主意，

or maybe the psychiatry profession has a strange desire

又或者精神病學有個奇怪的慾望

to label what's essentially normal human behavior as a mental disorder.

將本來正常的人類行為貼上精神疾病的標籤。

I didn't know which of these things was true,

but I thought it was kind of interesting.

And I thought maybe I should meet a critic of psychiatry

我想說或許我可以跟精神學批判家見面，

Which is how I ended up having lunch with the Scientologists.

這也是我為什麼最後會和山達基教徒吃午餐的原因。

他經營一個有聲有色的山達基教徒團隊，

who are determined to destroy psychiatry wherever it lies.

他們下定決心要摧毀所有的精神病學。

他們被稱為國際公民人權委員會。

that psychiatry is a pseudo-science that can't be trusted?"

精神病學是不能相信的假科學嗎？」

And he said, "Yes, we can prove it to you."

他說：「可以，我們可以證明給你看。」

And he said, "We're going to introduce you to Tony."

他說：「我們會介紹你給 Tony。」

布羅德莫指的是布羅德莫醫院。

It used to be known as the Broadmoor Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

以前被稱為布羅德莫精神病院，用來監禁發瘋的罪犯。

and the people who can't help themselves.

還有不能自救的人們被送到這裡。

我跟 Brian說；「Tony 做了什麼事？」

and he decided to fake madness to get out of a prison sentence.

然後他決定假裝他發瘋了所以不用坐牢。

But he faked it too well, and now he's stuck in Broadmoor

但是他裝得太像了，現在他被困在布羅德莫，

Do you want us to try and get you into Broadmoor to meet Tony?"

你想要我們試著將你送進布羅德莫醫院和 Tony 見面嗎？」

我回答：「是的，請這麼做。」

I began to yawn uncontrollably around Kempton Park,

當我到肯普頓公園附近時，我開始無法控制地打呵欠。

which apparently is what dogs also do when anxious --

很明顯就像狗焦慮時會做的事 --

And I got taken through gate after gate after gate after gate

我被引導通過一道接著一道接著一道的大門，

which is where you get to meet the patients.

裝潢看起來像是超大的漢普頓飯店。

It's all peach and pine and calming colors.

所間皆是粉橘色，木頭色和令人安穩的顏色。

And the only bold colors are the reds of the panic buttons.

唯一大膽的顏色是緊急按鈕的紅色。

And they were quite overweight and wearing sweatpants

他們明顯地過胖，穿著寬鬆的運動長褲，

And Brian the Scientologist whispered to me,

身為山達基教徒的 Brian 在我耳邊低聲說，

which to the Scientologists is like the worst evil in the world,

這對山達基教徒們就像是世界上最邪惡的事，

but I'm thinking it's probably a good idea.

但我心想這或許是最好的做法。

And he wasn't overweight, he was in very good physical shape.

像是電視實境節目《誰是接班人》裡面的人物。

He looked like a man who wanted to wear an outfit

他看起來像是一個把精心打扮體面

that would convince me that he was very sane.

And I said, "So is it true that you faked your way in here?"

我說：「所以你裝瘋混進來這裡是真的嗎？」

And he said, "Yep. Yep. Absolutely. I beat someone up when I was 17.

他說：「對，對，當然。我 17 歲時打了某人一頓。

Tell them you're mad. You'll get sent to some cushy hospital.

告訴他們你發瘋了。你就會被送到很可以過得很輕鬆的醫院。
