In 2011, during the final six months of Kim Jong-Il's life,

譯者: Zhiting Chen 審譯者: Geoff Chen

在 2011 年，金正日人生最後的六個月，

基礎被動語態

I was born and raised in South Korea, their enemy.

我在它的敵對國家南韓出生長大，

Since 2002, I had visited North Korea a few times.

在它另一個敵對國家美國居住。

And I had come to realize that to write about it with any meaning,

從 2002 年起，我數次訪問北韓。

or to understand the place beyond the regime's propaganda,

我意識到，如果想要寫關於北韓的 有意義的書，

唯一的方式就是將自己完全融入。

The Pyongyang University of Science and Technology

was founded by Evangelical Christians who cooperate with the regime

to educate the sons of the North Korean elite,

由福音派基督徒建立， 他與當權者合作

without proselytizing, which is a capital crime there.

辦學教育北韓精英家庭的孩子，

The students were 270 young men, expected to be the future leaders

他們沒有誘勸他們改宗， 這被認為是嚴重的罪行。

of the most isolated and brutal dictatorship in existence.

學生們是 270 位年輕男子， 他們被期待成為未來領袖，

領導這個世界上 最孤立且殘忍的獨裁政權。

我在那裡，他們成為我的學生。

marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of North Korea's original Great Leader,

To celebrate the occasion, the regime shut down all universities,

為了慶祝這個盛會， 政府關閉了所有的大學，

as the world's most powerful and prosperous nation.

去樹立北韓這個 世界上最強盛繁榮的國家

My students were the only ones spared from that fate.

North Korea is a gulag posing as a nation.

我的學生們是唯一一群 免於辛苦勞動的人。

Everything there is about the Great Leader.

北韓是以國家形態呈現的 共產主義古拉格集中營。

Every book, every newspaper article, every song, every TV program --

在那裡的一切都有關於偉大領袖。

每本書、每篇報刊文章、 每首歌、每個電視節目——

the mountains are carved with his slogans.

Every citizen wears the badge of the Great Leader at all times.

Even their calendar system begins with the birth of Kim Il-Sung.

每個居民無時無刻不佩戴領袖像章，

The school was a heavily guarded prison, posing as a campus.

甚至他們的日曆系統 都要以金日成的生日作為開始。

Teachers could only leave on group outings accompanied by an official minder.

學校是重兵嚴守的監獄 以校園的形式出現。

Even then, our trips were limited to sanctioned national monuments

老師們只有在集體外出活動時才能離開， 並且有一位官方人員隨行。

即使這樣，我們的遊覽 也僅限於遊覽國家紀念碑，

The students were not allowed to leave the campus,

Their days were meticulously mapped out, and any free time they had

was devoted to honoring their Great Leader.

他們的日程都被精心安排， 那些僅有的自由活動時間

Lesson plans had to meet the approval of North Korean staff,

every class was recorded and reported on, every room was bugged,

課程安排必須經過北韓官員的批准，

每堂課都有被記錄、再彙報， 每個房間都裝了竊聽器，

Every blank space was covered with the  portraits of Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il,

所有空置的空間都會被 金日成和金正日的畫像佔據，

We were never allowed to discuss the outside world.

As students of science and technology, many of them were computer majors

but they did not know the existence of the Internet.

科學技術大學的學生， 大部份主修電腦科學，

They had never heard of Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs.

但他們不知道網際網路的存在。

Facebook, Twitter -- none of those things would have meant a thing.

他們從未聽過馬克．祖克柏 (臉書創辦人) 或是史蒂夫．喬布斯 (蘋果創辦人)。

臉書、推特——這些對他們來說 什麼意義也沒有。

But where do you even start when an entire nation's ideology,

然而，你甚至不知道要如何開始， 因為整個國家的意識形態，

and even my own position at the universities,

A volunteer would write a sentence on the chalkboard,

Once a student wrote, "I visited China last year on vacation,"

當一個學生寫道： 「去年假期我訪問了中國。」

Virtually no North Korean is allowed to leave the country.

Even traveling within their own country requires a travel pass.

事實上，沒有人被允許離開這個國家。

I had hoped that this game would reveal some truth about my students,

即使在國家內部旅行 也需要一個旅行證件。

我希望這個遊戲能夠 揭露關於學生們的一些真相，

whether about the mythical accomplishments of their Great Leader,

因為他們說謊太頻繁，太容易，

or the strange claim that they cloned a rabbit as fifth graders.

The difference between truth and lies seemed at times hazy to them.

或是奇怪地宣稱他們在小學五年級 就已經無性繁殖了兔子。

It took me a while to understand the different types of lies;

對他們來說，真實與謊言 界限太模糊。

they lie to shield their system from the world,

我花了些時間來了解 不同類型的謊言；

or they were taught lies, and were just regurgitating them.

他們說謊為了將他們的國家系統 獨立於整個世界，

或許他們受到的教育是假話， 他們只是在重複這些假話。

But if all they have ever known were lies,

或者，有些時候， 他們習慣性地說謊。

how could we expect them to be otherwise?

但是，如果他們接受的資訊都是假的，

Next, I tried to teach them essay writing.

我們怎麼能夠期待他們說些別的呢？

But that turned out to be nearly impossible.

Essays are about coming up with one's own thesis,

and making an evidence-based argument to prove it.

寫作意味著寫他們自己的文章，

These students, however, were simply told what to think,

用以事實為基礎的論據去證明它。

然而這些學生 簡單地被告知要去想些什麼，

In their world, critical thinking was not allowed.

I also gave them the weekly assignment of writing a personal letter,

在他們的世界，批判性思維 是不被允許的。

It took a long time, but eventually some of them began to write

to their mothers, their friends, their girlfriends.

過了一些時間，最後他們中的一些人 開始寫

and would never reach their intended recipients,

my students slowly began to reveal their true feelings in them.

這些信永遠不會送到對方手中，

They wrote that they were fed up with the sameness of everything.

學生們慢慢地開始展現 他們的真實情感。

他們寫道，他們受夠了 千篇一律。

In those letters, they rarely ever mentioned their Great Leader.

I was spending all of my time with these young men.

在那些信中，他們很少提到 偉大領袖。

We all ate meals together, played basketball together.

我把所有時間都用在 和這些年輕男生相處。

I often called them gentlemen, which made them giggle.

我常常稱呼他們紳士， 這讓他們感到有趣。

他們提到女孩子的時候會害羞，
