当肯德基、麦当劳等等一系列快餐入驻中国开始,快餐文化也在中国这片拥有沉重历史的土地上大放 “ 光彩 ”。在音像店,耳边充斥着最流行的R&B或是重金属音乐。我们不难发现,什么周杰伦,后街男孩等等最新的流行歌曲专辑,放置在最显眼的位置价格而也是匪夷所思,包装更是五花八门费尽心思,门可罗雀。
When KFC, McDonald's and a series of fast food entered China, the fast food culture also played a "glorious" role in China, a land with a heavy history. In the video store, the most popular R & B or heavy metal music is all around. It's not hard for us to find out what Jay Chou, backstreet boys and other latest pop music albums are placed in the most prominent position at a price that is also unimaginable. The packaging is even more multifarious and painstaking.
而收录贝多芬、帕格尼尼、斯特劳斯等等音乐巨匠杰作的专辑即使只是流行专辑的三分之一,却仍然往往躲在墙角更甚者塑料封套上沾满灰尘,无人问津。在书店,最抢眼的便是包装精良的一套套网络系列小说,80年代的作者的作品更是大行其道,不费吹灰之力的赢得畅销书榜的榜眼探花。而那些经过一次次历史冲刷考验的名著,却在一边黯然失色。
The albums that contain the masterpieces of Beethoven, Paganini, Strauss and other music giants, even though they are only one-third of the pop albums, are still often hidden in the corner or even the plastic covers are covered with dust and nobody cares. In the bookstore, the most eye-catching is a set of well packaged network series novels. The works of the authors in the 1980s are even more popular, and they won the best-selling list easily. And those classics that have passed the test of historical scour have been eclipsed on one side.
曾经,我也被书架上包装精美书名诱惑的时髦小说带走,因为其中设计精巧的情节,艳丽奢靡的“人生体会”即使深知这是快餐文化,泡沫文字,但仍然为之“折服”。但是,久而久之看着雷同的情节,乏味的对白,不禁怀疑这些版率极高的时髦小说是否有“抄袭”之嫌。看着无数“这个世界不符合我的理想”的网络宣泄文学,对愤世嫉俗的陈词滥调,也不免嫌恶。
At one time, I was also taken away by the fashionable novels that were seduced by the beautifully wrapped titles on the bookshelves, because of the ingenious plot, gorgeous and extravagant "life experience", even knowing that it was a fast food culture, bubble words, it was still "subdue". However, as time goes by, looking at the same plot and boring dialogue, we can't help wondering whether these fashionable novels with high edition rate have the suspicion of "plagiarism". Watching countless "this world does not conform to my ideal" network catharsis literature, to cynical cliche, also can't help but dislike.
绕了一个圈子,我又回到起点。捧起名著――真正的文学,感受它所教导的哲理,滋润着我每根神经的触角。而那些“时髦的轻浮念头”也随之摒弃,因为真正的文学告诫我生活不是轻滑的角色扮演。诚然,社会的激烈竞争,让人们不断面对各方面压力,很多追逐流行的人,开始学会用各种激烈的方式,让自己成为地地道道的“愤青”,以表达自己不满的情绪。
Around a circle, I return to the starting point. Hold up the famous works - real literature, feel the philosophy it teaches, moisten the tentacles of every nerve. And those "fashionable flirtatious ideas" are also abandoned, because the real literature tells me that life is not a light role play. It's true that the fierce competition of the society makes people face all kinds of pressures constantly. Many people who are chasing after fashion begin to learn to use all kinds of fierce ways to make themselves truly "angry youth" to express their dissatisfaction.
流行文化在我们这代人身上影响甚深,不单只是在阅读、音乐上,更甚者是对我们生活态度的影响。当然,并不是所有的流行文化都是负面的。比如近来在中国年轻人之间大受追捧的街头文化。很多人会疑惑,这“街球”、“街舞”不过是在大街上打球跳舞,有正面影响吗?表面上看,似乎没有,但是这街头文化又叫黑人文化,顾名思义是从黑种人中开始盛行的一种渗透了深厚黑人文化精神的民间文化、是美国贫民??的黑人在人权压迫,种族歧视的特殊背景下形成的一种文化精神,文化运动。
Pop culture has a profound influence on our generation, not only in reading and music, but also in our attitude towards life. Of course, not all popular culture is negative. For example, the popular street culture among young people in China recently. Many people will wonder, this "street ball" and "street dance" are just playing and dancing on the street, does it have a positive impact? On the surface, it doesn't seem to exist, but this street culture is also called black culture. As the name implies, it is a folk culture that has permeated the spirit of black culture, and a cultural spirit and movement formed by the black people of the poor in the United States under the special background of human rights oppression and racial discrimination.
在美国,它并非只是爱好,更是一场为人权而战的革命。但是,在中国它却只是一种爱好。诚然,这是不同的历史背景造成的。爱好这种街头文化的青年如果深知这种文化的精髓并从中学习他们优秀积极的生活态度,而非单纯的追逐流行的话,在我看来,其正面影响是不可估量的。
In the United States, it is not only a hobby, but also a revolution to fight for human rights. But in China, it's just a hobby. It is true that this is caused by different historical backgrounds. In my opinion, the positive impact of this kind of street culture on young people is immeasurable if they know the essence of this culture and learn from it their excellent and positive attitude towards life, rather than simply pursue popularity.
同样,黑人文化的盛行也让我不禁反思,在5000多年的历史积淀下,为何我们黄种人的文化不能流行起来呢?
In the same way, the prevalence of black culture also makes me wonder why our yellow culture can't be popular in the 5000 years of history?
