因为本文有点长 我只节录 Chuck Klosterman (以下简称K) 访谈Royce White(以下简称W)部分以及一些有关的前言 http://tinyurl.com/bcd58bf (开头的四段以及第五段前半未翻译) I mention a statistic: According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 26 percent of Americans over the age of 18 suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in any given year. I ask White if he thinks that stat carries over into the NBA. This was the subsequent interaction (make sure you read all the way to the end, when the conversation shifts unexpectedly): K:在正式开始之前,我向White提了一个数据:根据美国国家心理研究中心的研究, 随便选某一年去调查超过18岁的美国人, 其中26%有精神上的问题. 我问White说 你觉得这26%有精神病的比例是否在NBA也是一样? Do you believe 26 percent of the league is dealing with a mental illness, or does mental illness prompt those dealing with it to self-select themselves out of the pool? Are you the rare exception who got drafted? K:你相信联盟中有26%的人有精神病吗?还是说有这方面的问题的人 比较不会参加选秀 因而比例有下降? 你算是个罕见被选上的例子吗? The amount of NBA players with mental health disorders is way over 26 percent. My suggestion would be to ask David Stern how many players in the league he thinks have a marijuana problem. Whatever number he gives you, that's the number with mental illness. A chemical imbalance is a mental illness. W: NBA球员中有精神病的比例绝对远超过26%. 我建议你去问Stern 联盟中多少人吸大麻. 他回答的答案就代表有精神病的人数. 毕竟你的脑内有某些化学物质不平衡就是精神病嘛. So, wait … if somebody has a drinking problem, is that — K: 呃 等等...所以如果有人酗酒 那也代表他有精.... That's a mental illness. A gambling addiction is a mental illness. Addiction is a mental illness. W: 是的 那也是精神病. 嗜赌也是精神病. 你沉迷於某样东西就是精神病. Well, then what's the lowest level of mental illness? What is the least problematic behavior that still suggests a mental illness? K: 好吧 所以你觉得最轻微的精神病是什麽/怎样的行为? The reality is that you can't black-and-white it, no matter how much you want to. You have to be OK with it being gray. There is no end or beginning. It's more individualistic. If someone tears a ligament, there is a grade for its severity. But there's no grade with mental illness. It all has to do with the person and their environment and how they are affected by that environment. W: 你不能这样二分法...他是有灰色地带的.如果有人韧带撕裂你可以为他的伤势分等, 但精神病不能分等级. 这跟他本人和他所处的环境和他如何被环境影响有关 OK, I get that. But you classify a gambling addiction as a mental illness. Gambling is incredibly common among hypercompetitive people. The NBA is filled with hypercompetitive people. So wouldn't this mean that — K: 我了解了 但是你说嗜赌也是精神病,但在竞争非常激烈的环境下很多人都嗜赌, NBA很多人都竞争非常激烈,所以这岂不是说--- Here's an even tougher thing that we're just starting to uncover: How many people don't have a mental illness? But that's what we don't want to talk about. W: 我还没跟你讲得更严重呢,应该说: 多少人没有精神病? 不过还是别提这个好了. Why wouldn't we want to talk about that? K: 为啥别提这个? Because that would mean the majority is mentally ill, and that we should base all our policies around the idea of supporting the mentally ill. Because they're the majority of people. But if we keep thinking of them as a minority, we can say, "You stay over there and deal with your problems over there." W: 因为这代表大部分的人精神有问题..那既然他们是多数,我们的法令岂不是 得站在精神病患的立场设计...假如我们装作他们仍然是少数,至少可以叫他们站一边 自个儿解决问题 OK, just so I get this right: You're arguing that most Americans have a mental illness. K: 所以让我确认一下: 你是说 大部分的美国人都有精神病 Exactly. That's definitely correct. W: 没错,就是这样 But — if that's true — wouldn't that mean "mental illness" is just a normative condition? That it's just how people are? K: 呃---那这样讲 岂不是说"精神有问题"才是正常的? 有精神病才是正常人? That doesn't make it normal. This is based on science. If there was a flu epidemic, and 60 percent of the country had the flu, it wouldn't make it normal … the problem is growing, and it's growing because there's a subtle war — in America, and in the world — between business and health. It's no secret that 2 percent of the human population controls all the wealth and the resources, and the other 98 percent struggle their whole life to try and attain it. Right? And what ends up happening is that the 2 percent leave the 98 percent to struggle and struggle and struggle, and they eventually build up these stresses and conditions. W: 不不不....如果假设流感大爆发,有60%的人都染上流感,这不代表那60%的人 才是"正常"吧. ....这问题越来越严重...因为有个战争正暗中展开--- 在美国,在全世界...在商业和健康上都是. 大家都知道2%的人控制了世界上所有的权位和资源...剩下98%的人都打拚一生 想变成那2%... 没错吧? 结局就是2%的人就把98%的人丢在那痛苦奋斗,他们最後就 有了导致精神病的压力和其他条件... So … this is about late capitalism? K: 所以这跟晚期资本主义有关? Definitely. Definitely. W: 对对对 It is not that Royce White thinks he has a unique problem. It's more that Royce White believes society has made everyone slightly insane. And this helps and hurts his argument at the same time. 看来White认为他并不是有特殊疾病--- 因为他觉得这社会让每个人或多或少都有病 --
