The mystery of Tucker Carlson
Tucker Carlson is shouting when he tells me he isn’t shouting.
当塔克·卡尔森告诉我他没有大喊大叫时，他正在大喊大叫。
The barrage of his voice has been relentless throughout the interview.
在整个采访过程中，他的声音一直不间断。
“I don’t want to be John McLaughlin yelling at people.
“我不想成为约翰·麦克劳克林，对人们大喊大叫。
Why would I want to do that?
我为什么要这么做？
I don’t need to do that,” he insists.
我不需要这样做，”他坚持说。
“I actually don’t think the audience likes that.
“实际上我认为观众不喜欢这样。
I don’t like it.
我不喜欢它。
But the idea that I win debates because I yell louder, it’s, like, absurd.”
但认为我因为喊得更大声而赢得辩论的想法，就像是荒谬的。”
“I didn’t say you win because you shouted.
“我不是因为你大喊大叫才说你赢了。
I just said there is a lot of shouting.”
我只是说有很多叫喊声。”
“There is not a lot of shouting.
“没有太多的叫喊声。
I do the show every night.
我每天晚上都会表演这个节目。
I know what’s on it.”
我知道上面写的是什么。”
I am confused.
我很困惑。
“You were definitely shouting before.
“你之前肯定喊过。
That’s why this is funny,” I say laughing nervously.
这就是为什么这很有趣。”我紧张地笑道。
“Because you are like, “I AM NOT SHOUTING!”
“因为你会说，“我没有喊叫！”
Carlson then tells me how he is the loudest person in the restaurant.
卡尔森然后告诉我他是餐厅里声音最大的人。
Just ask his family.
问问他的家人就知道了。
I mean, sure he was shouting, but he’s a loud guy, okay ?
我的意思是，他确实在喊叫，但他是个大声的人，好吗？
The story BuzzFeed, The New York Times and more didn’t want to publish

We’ve moved from denial to acceptance in less than a minute.
我们在不到一分钟的时间内就从否认转变为接受。
It’s pure Tucker Carlson, a move I’ve seen hundreds of times in the over 40 hours of Tucker Carlson Tonight clips I’ve watched on Fox News in recent months.
这是纯粹的塔克·卡尔森 (Tucker Carlson)，近几个月来，我在福克斯新闻 (Fox News) 上观看了 40 多个小时的《塔克·卡尔森今夜秀》(Tucker Carlson Tonight) 视频，我已经看过数百次了。
Reporters go on his show believing they’ll be discussing health care or Donald Trump’s mental health, only to be met with the question, “Do you think you are practicing journalism?”
记者们在观看他的节目时相信他们会讨论医疗保健或唐纳德·特朗普的心理健康，结果却被问到：“你认为你在从事新闻工作吗？”
Reeling guests stumble and fall.
令人晕眩的客人绊倒并跌倒。
“Answer the question,” Carlson demands.
“回答问题，”卡尔森要求道。
“Answer the question!” But the question is unanswerable.
“回答问题！”但这个问题是无法回答的。
What happened to Tucker Carlson?
塔克·卡尔森怎么了？
People in media ask themselves this question with the same pearl-clutching, righteous tone they use when discussing their aunt in Connecticut who voted for Trump.
媒体人士用他们在讨论康涅狄格州投票支持特朗普的姨妈时所用的同样紧握珍珠的正义语气问自己这个问题。
In a tweet, Jon Lovett of Crooked Media and Pod Save America , noted , “Tucker Carlson’s transition from conservative serious-ish writer to blustery CNN guy to Daily Caller troll to race-baiting Fox News host is like ice core data on what led to this moment in our politics.”
Crooked Media 和 Pod Save America 的乔恩·洛维特 (Jon Lovett) 在一条推文中指出，“塔克·卡尔森从保守的严肃作家到狂暴的 CNN 人、《每日来电》巨魔再到种族诱饵的福克斯新闻主持人的转变，就像冰芯数据一样，说明了导致我们政治这一时刻的原因。”
In June, Conor Friedersdorf wrote in The Atlantic , “Carlson squandered his considerable God-given talent for scrupulously true commentary, opting instead for clickbait at The Daily Caller or dumbed-down demagoguery at Fox.”
6 月，康纳·弗里德斯多夫 (Conor Friedersdorf) 在《大西洋月刊》上写道，“卡尔森浪费了上帝赐予的相当大的天赋，进行一丝不苟的真实评论，而是选择在《每日来电》上进行标题诱饵，或者在福克斯上进行愚蠢的煽动。”
There’s something to all the liberal hand-wringing.
所有自由派人士的焦虑都是有原因的。
In a speech Carlson gave to CPAC in 2009, he pleaded with conservative journalists to focus on reporting rather than punditry.
卡尔森在 2009 年向 CPAC 发表的一次演讲中，恳求保守派记者专注于报道而不是评论。
He held up The New York Times as a standard bearer , begging writers “to go out there and find what is happening….not just interpret things they hear in the mainstream media.” His pleas were met with boos.
他将《纽约时报》视为旗手，恳求作家“走出去，发现正在发生的事情……而不仅仅是解释他们在主流媒体上听到的事情。”他的请求遭到了嘘声。
But just six years later, Carlson was calling out The New York Times for pro-Clinton advocacy , and in June 2018 accused the paper of blatantly lying to the American people about Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction, Bashar Al-Assad, and Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
但仅仅六年后，卡尔森就呼吁《纽约时报》支持克林顿，并于 2018 年 6 月指责该报在萨达姆·侯赛因的大规模杀伤性武器、巴沙尔·阿萨德以及俄罗斯干预 2016 年选举等问题上公然向美国人民撒谎。
If we can figure out how an intelligent writer and conservative can go from writing National Magazine Award–nominated articles to shouting about immigrants on Fox News, perhaps we can understand what is happening to this country, or at least to journalism, in 2018.
如果我们能弄清楚一个聪明的作家和保守派如何从撰写国家杂志奖提名的文章到在福克斯新闻上大声疾呼移民，也许我们就能理解这个国家，或者至少是新闻业在 2018 年发生的事情。
If you ask his former editors, they’ll say they’re wistful when they think about the old Tucker Carlson.
如果你问他的前编辑，他们会说，当他们想起老塔克·卡尔森时，他们会感到渴望。
Mark Warren, who edited him at Esquire: “He is an extremely talented writer.
《Esquire》杂志的编辑马克·沃伦 (Mark Warren) 评价道：“他是一位极其有才华的作家。
[Tucker’s] writing was done with such energy and vitality.”
[塔克]的写作充满了活力和活力。”
Paul Greenberg, who edited Carlson at The Arkansas Democrat Gazette : “Tucker was a pleasure to work with.
《阿肯色州民主党公报》卡尔森的编辑保罗·格林伯格 (Paul Greenberg) 表示：“与塔克合作很愉快。
I knew he would fit right in in Arkansas when I discovered that he chewed tobacco.”
当我发现他嚼烟草时，我就知道他一定会融入阿肯色州。”
Adam Myerson, Policy Review: “Tucker was an enterprising, hard-working shoe-leather reporter.”
亚当·迈尔森（Adam Myerson），《政策评论》：“塔克是一位有进取心、勤奋的皮鞋记者。”
Tina Brown, who worked with Carlson at her short-lived Talk magazine: “Tucker is a tremendously good writer and I always thought it was a real shame that he kind of like got sucked into this TV mania thing.
蒂娜·布朗 (Tina Brown) 曾与卡尔森一起在她短命的《Talk》杂志上工作：“塔克是一位非常优秀的作家，我一直认为他有点像卷入了电视狂热的事情，这真是一种耻辱。
“
“
Perhaps fearful of what Carlson has become, few of his former editors were willing to talk on the record about his evolution, except for Brown, who noted crisply in an efficient, six-minute phone interview, “I really think Tucker is better than that.”
也许是担心卡尔森变成什么样子，他的前编辑很少愿意公开谈论他的演变，除了布朗，他在一次高效的六分钟电话采访中明确指出，“我真的认为塔克比那更好。”
In a front-page story, NYT summed up McCain’s’s ability to control media—even in death
《纽约时报》在头版报道中总结了麦凯恩控制媒体的能力——即使是在他去世后
Ask Tucker Carlson whatever happened to Tucker Carlson, and he gets upset.
问塔克·卡尔森发生了什么事，他很沮丧。
“Who thinks I’ve changed?” he demands.
“谁觉得我变了？”他要求。
I didn’t want to give up any of my sources, a few of whom still count him as a friend, so I stammered out my editor’s name.
我不想放弃我的任何消息来源，其中一些人仍然把他视为朋友，所以我结结巴巴地说出了我编辑的名字。
The question, What happened to Tucker Carlson?
问题是，塔克·卡尔森怎么了？
is worth answering.
值得回答。
If we can figure out how an intelligent writer and conservative can go from writing National Magazine Award–nominated articles and being hailed by some of the best editors in the business, to shouting about immigrants on Fox News, perhaps we can understand what is happening to this country, or at least to journalism, in 2018.
如果我们能弄清楚一个聪明的作家和保守派如何从撰写国家杂志奖提名的文章并受到业内一些最好的编辑的赞扬，到在福克斯新闻上大声疾呼移民，也许我们可以理解这个国家，或者至少是新闻业，在 2018 年发生了什么。
Tucker McNear Swanson Carlson was always going to be a journalist, if only through inertia and nepotism; the talent was a bonus.
塔克·麦克尼尔·斯旺森·卡尔森（Tucker McNear Swanson Carlson）一直想成为一名记者，哪怕只是因为惯性和裙带关系；才华是一种奖励。
Carlson is the son of Dick Carlson, a media executive, who used to direct the Voice of America and is a former CEO of The Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
卡尔森是媒体高管迪克·卡尔森的儿子，迪克·卡尔森曾担任美国之音的主管，也是公共广播公司的前首席执行官。
Tucker was born in 1969, the older of two boys.
塔克出生于 1969 年，是两个男孩中的老大。
Their mother, Lisa McNear Carlson, left the family when he was six.
他们的母亲丽莎·麦克尼尔·卡尔森 (Lisa McNear Carlson) 在他六岁时离开了家庭。
“Totally bizarre situation—which I never talk about, because it was actually not really part of my life at all,” Carlson told The New Yorker in 2017 .
“这种情况非常奇怪——我从来没有谈论过，因为它实际上根本不是我生活的一部分，”卡尔森在 2017 年告诉《纽约客》。
When Tucker was 10, Dick remarried to Patricia Swanson of the Swanson frozen dinner fortune; her uncle was Senator J.
塔克10岁时，迪克与斯旺森冷冻晚餐公司的帕特里夏·斯旺森再婚。她的叔叔是J参议员。

Carlson and his brother Buckley went to the Rhode Island private school St. George’s and, later, Tucker attended Trinity College, where, as he told the CJR in an interview, he spent his days mostly drunk.
卡尔森和他的兄弟巴克利就读于罗德岛州私立学校圣乔治分校，后来，塔克就读于三一学院，正如他在接受 CJR 采访时所说，在那里，他大部分时间都在喝醉。
He graduated in 1992 and married his high school sweetheart, Susan Anderson.
1992 年，他毕业并与高中时的恋人苏珊·安德森 (Susan Anderson) 结婚。
Carlson applied to the CIA, but his application was denied, so he turned to journalism.

“你应该考虑新闻业，”他的父亲告诉他。
“They’ll take anybody.”
“他们会带走任何人。”
Carlson began working for Policy Review as a fact-checker.
卡尔森开始在政策审查部门担任事实核查员。
“I ended up working for this magazine because the standards are so low,” he explains.
“我最终为这家杂志工作，因为标准太低了，”他解释道。
The quip is Carlsonesque—disarming, self-effacing, self-aggrandizing, and a tad insulting.
这句俏皮话是卡尔森式的——让人放下戒备、谦虚、自我夸大，还有点侮辱。
I’m a single mom, a freelance writer with two kids, swiftly facing a future with no healthcare.
我是一位单亲妈妈，一位有两个孩子的自由作家，很快就面临着没有医疗保健的未来。
I’m cobbling together ghostwriting jobs, but it’s not enough.
我正在拼凑代写工作，但这还不够。
I tell Carlson this and he tells me it’s “all impressive.” The implication is clear.
我告诉卡尔森这件事，他告诉我这“令人印象深刻”。其含义是明确的。
It’s fine for me, but he’s not good at that sort of thing.
这对我来说很好，但他不擅长这类事情。
“I have all kinds of problems with authority and being told what to do,” he says.
“我对权威和被告知该做什么有各种各样的问题，”他说。
“I was not suited for that kind of work.”
“我不适合那种工作。”
I think about the application I just filled out for Starbucks.
我想起了我刚刚填写的星巴克申请表。
Me neither.
我也一样。
Yet Carlson insists he, too, was motivated only by the needs of a growing family.
然而卡尔森坚称，他的动机也只是出于家庭成长的需要。
He maintains that if someone handed him $5 million he wouldn’t have gotten out of bed.
他坚称，如果有人递给他 500 万美元，他就起不来了。
(And he’d be easy to believe, if he wasn’t, in fact, worth over $8 million , and hadn’t himself stood to inherit enough to keep him in a rotating series of beds until retirement.)
（事实上，如果他的身价没有超过 800 万美元，而且他自己也没有继承到足够的遗产，让他轮流躺在一系列的床上直到退休，那么他很容易相信。）
But it’s the story he’s sticking to.
但这是他坚持的故事。
He had to do what he had to do.
他必须做他必须做的事。
He didn’t have a choice.
他别无选择。
He has kids.
他有孩子。
DC has terrible public schools.
华盛顿特区的公立学校很糟糕。
His hands were tied.
他的双手被绑着。
So, in addition to his staff positions, he took freelance jobs.
因此，除了职员职位外，他还从事自由职业。
He didn’t want to disappoint his family.
他不想让家人失望。
“I think this is true of almost everybody unless you happen to inherit a bunch of dough at a young age.” Carlson sounds cavalier as he says this, like the plight of sending kids to a private school in DC is the most relatable thing in history.
“我认为几乎每个人都是如此，除非你碰巧在年轻时继承了一大笔钱。”卡尔森说这句话时听起来很傲慢，好像送孩子去华盛顿私立学校的困境是历史上最能引起共鸣的事情。
I wonder about my own career in media.
我想知道我自己的媒体职业生涯。
If providing for my kids was my only goal, I’d be back in my marketing job.
如果养活我的孩子是我唯一的目标，我会回到我的营销工作。
Which reminds me, I need to check my bank account to make sure I can afford back-to-school shoes and after-school care.
这提醒我，我需要检查我的银行账户，以确保我能负担得起返校鞋和课后护理费用。
I wonder which one of us is supposed to be the liberal elite media.
我想知道我们当中哪一个应该是自由派精英媒体。
But Carlson’s story is the story of the working man.
但卡尔森的故事是工人的故事。
He is, in this way, a Trumpish avatar—roguish, rich, independent, and confusing as hell.
从这个角度来看，他是特朗普的化身——无赖、富有、独立，而且令人困惑。
Despite his pedigree, or more likely because of it, Carlson has managed to become a vox populi of the deplorables.
尽管卡尔森有出身，或者更可能是因为出身，卡尔森还是成功地成为了可悲者的心声。
His show attracts an audience of 2.7 million people who see him as a voice of independent Americans.
他的节目吸引了 270 万观众，他们将他视为独立美国人的代言人。
His book Ship of Fools , which rails against the liberal media establishment, is due out in October.
他的书《愚人船》（Ship of Fools）抨击自由派媒体机构，将于十月出版。
The man’s voice and his power are only growing.
这个人的声音和他的力量只会越来越大。
Since Bill O’Reilly was fired from Fox News in October 2017, Carlson has cannibalized O’Reilly’s audience.
自从 2017 年 10 月比尔·奥莱利被福克斯新闻解雇以来，卡尔森就蚕食了奥莱利的观众。
According to Nielsen Media Research, the top-rated markets for the show are Ft.
根据尼尔森媒体研究，该节目收视率最高的市场是英国《金融时报》。
Myers, Florida; Knoxville, Tennessee; Jacksonville, Florida; West Palm Beach, Florida; Las Vegas, Nevada; Birmingham, Alabama; Orlando, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; Greenville, South Carolina; and Buffalo, New York.
佛罗里达州迈尔斯；田纳西州诺克斯维尔；佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔；佛罗里达州西棕榈滩；内华达州拉斯维加斯；阿拉巴马州伯明翰；佛罗里达州奥兰多；佐治亚州亚特兰大；南卡罗来纳州格林维尔；和纽约州布法罗。
Only half of these cities went for Trump in the 2016 election, but they are (with the exception of Birmingham and Atlanta) overwhelmingly white and middle class, with an average age of 36.
这些城市中只有一半在 2016 年大选中支持特朗普，但这些城市（伯明翰和亚特兰大除外）绝大多数是白人和中产阶级，平均年龄为 36 岁。
A large part of the jobs held by men in each city are in retail or construction.
每个城市男性从事的工作很大一部分从事零售业或建筑业。
Despite his pedigree, or more likely because of it, Carlson has managed to become a vox populi of the deplorables.
尽管卡尔森有出身，或者更可能是因为出身，卡尔森还是成功地成为了可悲者的心声。
His show attracts an audience of 2.7 million people who see him as a voice of independent Americans.
他的节目吸引了 270 万观众，他们将他视为独立美国人的代言人。
These fans consider themselves independent thinkers, like Carlson; they love him for his unanswerable questions.
这些粉丝认为自己是独立思考者，就像卡尔森一样；他们因为他无法回答的问题而爱他。
Colleen H., from Utah, told me through Facebook Messenger, “I like the way he has his guests on and they can’t say anything but the truth.
来自犹他州的 Colleen H. 通过 Facebook Messenger 告诉我，“我喜欢他招待客人的方式，他们除了实话之外什么都不能说。
He asks them a simple question and they go round and round the truth.
他问了他们一个简单的问题，他们就一再地讲真相。
He stays right on top of the subject at hand, if his guests don’t….
如果他的客人不这样做，他就会专注于当前的主题……
They only have so long to answer.
他们只有这么长的时间来回答。
When they don’t, they’re gone.”
当他们不这样做时，他们就消失了。”
A man who goes by the name The Watchman on Twitter, and lives in West Virginia, explained that he likes Carlson because “he seems honest and sincere.
一位住在西弗吉尼亚州的推特上名为“守望者”的男子解释说，他喜欢卡尔森，因为“他看起来诚实而真诚。
I like how he always [asks] what seems to the Democratic Socialist/Liberals as tough questions and they never answer him.”
我喜欢他总是[问]在民主社会主义/自由党看来很棘手的问题，而他们却从不回答他。”
Carlson also has one very big fan in the president of the United States, who watches his show and gleans policy ideas.
卡尔森还有一位非常忠实的粉丝——美国总统，他观看他的节目并收集政策想法。
Only weeks ago, after Carlson spoke on his show about a South African policy of seizing property from white landowners, the president tweeted that he was having his Secretary of State look into the matter.
就在几周前，卡尔森在节目中谈到南非从白人土地所有者手中夺取财产的政策后，总统在推特上表示，他正在让国务卿调查此事。
(Both Carlson and Trump misinterpreted the policy.
（卡尔森和特朗普都误解了这项政策。
Carlson later clarified his remarks on the issue; Donald Trump has not .)
卡尔森后来澄清了他对这个问题的言论；唐纳德·特朗普没有。）
Other vocal fans of Carlson include Richard Spencer, David Duke, and white nationalist website The Daily Stormer.
卡尔森的其他粉丝包括理查德·斯宾塞、大卫·杜克和白人民族主义网站《每日风暴》。
On August 24, 2018, The Daily Stormer published a post that noted gleefully, “Tucker Carlson is basically ‘Daily Stormer: The Show.’ Other than the language used, he is covering all of our talking points.”
2018 年 8 月 24 日，《每日风暴》发表了一篇文章，高兴地指出，“塔克·卡尔森基本上就是‘每日风暴：秀’。除了使用的语言之外，他涵盖了我们所有的谈话要点。”
Pointing out the similarities between Nazi supporters and positions advocated by Carlson has become a subgenre of DC media.
指出纳粹支持者与卡尔森主张的立场之间的相似之处已成为华盛顿媒体的一个子流派。
The most thorough examination was by Carlos Maza, a journalist for Vox, who recently broke down the ways in which Carlson’s talking points resonate with professional racists.
最彻底的检查是由 Vox 记者卡洛斯·马扎 (Carlos Maza) 进行的，他最近分析了卡尔森的谈话要点与职业种族主义者产生共鸣的方式。
His video is worth watching in full, but he points out how Carlson’s show cherrypicks stories of immigrants committing crime and ties illegal immigration to the crime rate.
他的视频值得完整观看，但他指出卡尔森的节目如何挑选移民犯罪的故事，并将非法移民与犯罪率联系起来。
(Studies from the FBI and the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, have proven no link between immigration—illegal or otherwise—and crime.
（联邦调查局和自由主义智库卡托研究所的研究证明，非法或其他移民与犯罪之间没有联系。
)
）
But he’s not a racist, Carlson insists.
但卡尔森坚称，他不是种族主义者。
It’s bogus.
这是假的。
Just because he believes everyone should be able to say what they want without being punished for it, doesn’t mean he supports them.
仅仅因为他相信每个人都应该能够说出自己的想法而不会受到惩罚，但这并不意味着他支持他们。
“If you think my views are bad tell me how.
“如果你认为我的观点不好，请告诉我怎么做。
But [my accusers] don’t, because they’re either too dumb or they don’t care.
但[我的指控者]不这么认为，因为他们要么太蠢，要么不在乎。
They are trying to silence people they disagree with…And they are leading the effort to silence people they disagree with, without any debate, with out any intellectual due process, not legal, intellectual due process.”
他们试图让他们不同意的人保持沉默……他们正在带头努力让他们不同意的人保持沉默，没有任何辩论，没有任何理智的正当程序，而不是法律的、理智的正当程序。”
Carlson’s voice is rising.
卡尔森的声音越来越大。
He begins to mimic liberals in a higher pitched voice.
他开始用更高的音调模仿自由主义者。
“Shut up, Nazi.
“闭嘴，纳粹。
I get to punch you now.”
我现在就可以打你了。”
So is he a racist?
那么他是种族主义者吗？
“My god, I’m not a racist.
“天哪，我不是种族主义者。
I hate racism.
我讨厌种族主义。
Tell me how.”
告诉我怎么做。”
He kept going, mimicking the debate he believes his accusers/liberals/me are having about him.
他继续前进，模仿他认为他的指控者/自由主义者/我正在对他进行的辩论。
“It’s like ‘Oh, creepy people like your show.
“就像‘哦，令人毛骨悚然的人喜欢你的节目。
Therefore, you shouldn’t have a show.’ What?
因此，你不应该举办演出。’什么？
How could you go along with that?
你怎么能同意呢？
I don’t understand.
我不明白。
Like, that’s the lowest form…that’s so contemptible.
就这样，这就是最低级的形式……太卑鄙了。
And it’s, it’s amazing to me that that kind of goes on uniformly.
令我惊讶的是，这种情况竟然如此一致地发生。
Shut up.
住口。
You’re a bad person.
你是个坏人。
Go away.
离开。
You’re fired now.
你现在被解雇了。
What?
什么？
Tell me what he did wrong.
告诉我他做错了什么。
Speak slowly so that I can understand.
慢慢地说，以便我能听懂。
What did he say that’s untrue?
他说了什么不真实的话？
What did he say that’s not allowed?
他说什么是不允许的？
What’s the right position?
什么是正确的立场？
Why don’t you explain it to me?
你为什么不向我解释一下？
Shut up, Nazi.”
闭嘴，纳粹。”
His publicist calls after our interview to make sure I know that Carlson is not a racist.
在我们采访后，他的公关人员打电话来确保我知道卡尔森不是种族主义者。
Like many white male journalists, Carlson used to idolize Hunter S.
和许多白人男性记者一样，卡尔森曾经崇拜亨特·S·卡尔森 (Hunter S.
Thompson.
汤普森.
And his own early journalism is indeed gonzo-like: freewheeling, voice-driven, squibbish narratives.
他自己早期的新闻工作确实很荒唐：随心所欲、声音驱动、尖酸刻薄的叙述。
It is as if Thompson donned a bow-tie, and thought maybe poor people should work a little harder.
这就好像汤普森戴上了领结，认为也许穷人应该更加努力地工作。
At Policy Review Carlson made a mark for himself with pieces like a cringey look at Dunbar High School in Washington, DC.
在政策审查中，卡尔森以华盛顿特区邓巴高中的尴尬造型等作品为自己留下了印记。
Carlson depicts the historically black high school as on the decline.
卡尔森将历史上的黑人高中描述为正在衰落。
Fair enough.
很公平。
The high school is one of DC’s worst-performers .
这所高中是华盛顿特区表现最差的高中之一。
But then he traces the roots of the decline to the desegregation of DC schools.
但随后他将衰退的根源追溯到华盛顿学校废除种族隔离。
The kicker of the article reads, “By heeding its past, Dunbar could once again inspire greatness.”
文章的要点是：“通过关注过去，邓巴可以再次激发伟大。”
That past is one of segregation.
那段过去就是一种隔离。
He advocated this line of thinking again in 1996 in an article about the “ Lost Black Aristocracy ” of Washington.
1996年，他在一篇有关华盛顿“失落的黑人贵族”的文章中再次主张这一思路。
According to Carlson, desegregation meant the loss of rich black people in the city.
卡尔森认为，废除种族隔离意味着该市富裕黑人的流失。
These black aristocrats, Carlson notes, “had both light skin and, like their ancestors, profoundly integrationist views—seemed like museum pieces in a city whose local politics were increasingly defined by black nationalism.”
卡尔森指出，这些黑人贵族“皮肤白皙，而且像他们的祖先一样，有着深刻的融合主义观点——在当地政治越来越受到黑人民族主义影响的城市里，这些黑人贵族似乎就像博物馆里的藏品。”
With them gone, Carlson mourns, “no force remained to keep the excesses of the civil rights class in check.
卡尔森哀悼他们离开后，“没有任何力量来遏制民权阶层的暴行。
Political leaders stopped identifying with bourgeois values and began pandering in earnest to the underclass.”
政治领导人不再认同资产阶级价值观，而是开始认真迎合下层阶级。”
Carlson left Policy Review , to work under Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist Paul Greenberg at the Arkansas Democrat Gazette .
卡尔森离开《政策评论》，前往阿肯色州民主党公报获得普利策奖的专栏作家保罗·格林伯格手下工作。
In 1995, he left to work for the Weekly Standard , where he profiled James Carville.
1995 年，他离职前往《标准周刊》工作，在那里他对詹姆斯·卡维尔进行了专题报道。
The 1996 article, “James Carville: Populist Plutocrat” skewers Carville for getting rich off his message of populism.
1996 年的文章《詹姆斯·卡维尔：民粹主义财阀》批评卡维尔通过其民粹主义信息致富。
It’s a fun piece.
这是一个有趣的作品。
Carlson writes with the hooks and jabs he’s famous for on TV, but they’re rendered more deftly on the page:
卡尔森用他在电视上闻名的勾拳和刺拳来写作，但它们在页面上的呈现更加巧妙：
A wine aficionado (northern Rhones are his favorite), Carville once consumed no fewer than 11 drinks in the company of a reporter on a flight to Los Angeles.
卡维尔是一位葡萄酒爱好者（他最喜欢北罗讷河谷葡萄酒），他曾在飞往洛杉矶的航班上与一名记者一起喝了至少 11 杯酒。
He and his wife (former Bush partisan and talk-show host Mary Matalin) have what he calls a “country house” in rural Virginia.
他和他的妻子（前布什党员、脱口秀主持人玛丽·马塔林）在弗吉尼亚州乡村拥有一栋他所说的“乡村别墅”。
He enjoys quality room service, plush bath towels, and cars that come with drivers.
他享受优质的客房服务、豪华的浴巾和配有司机的汽车。
He’s a frequent patron of The Palm, one of Washington’s most expensive restaurants.
他是华盛顿最昂贵的餐厅之一 The Palm 的常客。
And, as if to make the caricature complete, he loves to play the stock market.
而且，似乎为了让漫画更加完整，他喜欢玩股票市场。
Then, in case you think he’s a conservative in good standing, in 1999, Carlson profiled George W.
然后，如果你认为他是一位信誉良好的保守派，卡尔森在 1999 年对乔治·W·布什 (George W.
Bush for Tina Brown’s Talk magazine.
蒂娜·布朗谈话杂志的布什。
He quoted Bush saying “fuck” a lot and had him mimicking a panicked Karla Faye Tucker, a murderer on death row, pleading for her life.
他引用布什经常说的“操”，并让他模仿死囚牢房中惊慌失措的卡拉·费耶·塔克，恳求饶她一命。
Carlson writes: “ ‘ Please’, Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, ‘don’t kill me.’”
卡尔森写道：“‘求你了’，布什呜咽着，他的嘴唇因假装绝望而撅起，‘不要杀我。’”
Karen Hughes, Bush’s communications director, denied Carlson’s version of the events.
布什的通讯主管凯伦·休斯否认了卡尔森对事件的说法。
But it was enough to mark Carlson as a journalistic rascal.
但这足以将卡尔森标记为新闻流氓。
“He really could’ve been one of the very great journalists,” Brown says.
“他真的可以成为最伟大的记者之一，”布朗说。
“You know because he had an amazing eye for observation.
“你知道，因为他有一双惊人的观察力。
He’s terribly funny and you know he’s just a great stylist.
他非常有趣，你知道他是一位出色的造型师。
There was a kind of flair to it that I thought was great.”
我认为它有一种很棒的天赋。”
Probably the pinnacle of this journalism career was a 2003 article about traveling to Liberia with Al Sharpton; Cornel West; and Franzo King, archbishop and lead sax player of the St. John Coltrane African Orthodox Church, in San Francisco.
也许这个新闻事业的顶峰是 2003 年一篇关于与阿尔·夏普顿 (Al Sharpton) 一起前往利比里亚旅行的文章；科内尔·韦斯特；弗兰佐·金 (Franzo King)，旧金山圣约翰科尔特兰非洲东正教教堂的大主教兼萨克斯首席演奏家。
About King he writes, “King tends to speak in riddles and dictums and parables, and at an almost inaudible volume.
关于金，他写道：“金倾向于用谜语、格言和寓言来说话，而且音量几乎听不见。
One day I told him that I considered some person or other a bit of a phony.
有一天，我告诉他，我认为某个人或其他人有点虚伪。
King looked at me intently for a moment, then put his hand on the back of my head and pulled my ear to his lips.
金专注地看了我一会儿，然后把手放在我的后脑勺上，把我的耳朵拉到他的嘴唇上。
‘Is a tree phony because it loses its leaves in winter?’ he whispered.”
“一棵树会因为冬天失去叶子而变得虚假吗？”他低声说道。
In this article, Carlson all but accuses Sharpton of reverse racism.
在这篇文章中，卡尔森几乎指责夏普顿的逆向种族主义。
His argument in the article, 15 years ago, will sound familiar to anyone who watches his show today.
15 年前他在文章中的论点对于今天观看他的节目的任何人来说都会听起来很熟悉。
“The idea that I’d be responsible for the sins (or, for that matter, share in the glory of the accomplishments) of dead people who happened to share my skin tone has always confused me,” he wrote.
他写道：“我要为那些碰巧与我肤色相同的死者所犯的罪负责（或者分享成就的荣耀），这种想法一直让我感到困惑。”
“Racial solidarity wasn’t a working concept in my Southern California hometown.
“在我的南加州家乡，种族团结并不是一个可行的概念。
Most people barely had last names, much less ethnic identities.
大多数人几乎没有姓氏，更不用说种族身份了。
I grew up feeling about as much connection to nineteenth-century slave owners as I did to bus drivers in Helsinki or astronomers in Tirana.
在我成长的过程中，我对十九世纪奴隶主的感觉就像我对赫尔辛基的公交车司机或地拉那的天文学家的联系一样。
We’re all capable of getting sunburned.
我们都有可能被晒伤。
That’s it.”
就是这样。”
He didn’t win, but who cares?
他没有赢，但谁在乎呢？
“I can’t imagine a less coveted accolade than an award from sad, alcoholic former newspaper editorialists, you know?”
“我无法想象还有什么比悲伤、酗酒的前报纸编辑获得的奖项更令人垂涎的了，你知道吗？”
Go on.
继续吧。
“I don’t respect my peers at all.
“我根本不尊重我的同龄人。
I mean, I just can’t imagine a group whose approval I’m less interested in, because I think so many of them are just so unbelievably mediocre.
我的意思是，我无法想象一个我对他们的认可不那么感兴趣的团体，因为我认为他们中的很多人都平庸得令人难以置信。
I mean, mediocre.”
我的意思是，平庸。”
“It’s like ‘Oh, creepy people like your show.
“就像‘哦，令人毛骨悚然的人喜欢你的节目。
Therefore, you shouldn’t have a show.’ What?
因此，你不应该举办演出。’什么？
How could you go along with that?
你怎么能同意呢？
I don’t understand.
我不明白。
Like, that’s the lowest form…that’s so contemptible.
就这样，这就是最低级的形式……太卑鄙了。
And it’s, it’s amazing to me that that kind of goes on uniformly.
令我惊讶的是，这种情况竟然如此一致地发生。
Shut up.
住口。
You’re a bad person.
你是个坏人。
Go away.
离开。
You’re fired now.
你现在被解雇了。
What?
什么？
Tell me what he did wrong.
告诉我他做错了什么。
Speak slowly so that I can understand.”
说得慢一点，让我听得懂。”
Despite the loathing of his own profession, Carlson went to Pakistan for New York ma gazine right after 9/11 and almost died in a plane crash.
尽管卡尔森厌恶自己的职业，但他在 9/11 事件后立即前往巴基斯坦为纽约杂志拍摄，并差点在飞机失事中丧生。
He traveled to Iraq and wrote a sympathetic profile of military contractors and interviewed Paul Ryan , both for Esquire .
他前往伊拉克，写了一篇充满同情心的军事承包商简介，并为《时尚先生》采访了保罗·瑞安。
(None of those assignments, it seems obvious to say, would likely go to Carlson today.)
（显然，今天这些任务都不可能交给卡尔森。）
Along the way, Tucker pivoted to video.
在此过程中，塔克转向了视频。
Which, in some estimations, was (and is always) a big mistake.
从某些角度来看，这曾经是（而且始终是）一个大错误。
To hear Carlson tell it, he stumbled into television the same way he wandered into journalism, because it was quick, easy, and they’d take him.
按照卡尔森的说法，他偶然进入了电视界，就像他进入新闻业一样，因为这又快又容易，而且他们会接受他。
In his 2003 book Politics, Partisans, and Parasites: My Adventures in Cable News , Carlson recounts that his first television appearance happened because he came home early from lunch.
卡尔森在 2003 年出版的《政治、游击队和寄生虫：我在有线电视新闻中的历险记》一书中回忆道，他第一次出现在电视上是因为他吃完午饭提前回家。
I was heading back to my desk with a take-out hot dog one afternoon when I ran into the receptionist.
一天下午，当我带着外卖热狗回到办公桌时，遇到了接待员。
She asked me what I knew about the O.J.
她问我对 O.J. 有什么了解。
trial.
审判。
My instinct was to answer honestly (“just about nothing”), but for some reason I caught myself.
我的本能是诚实地回答（“几乎什么都没有”），但出于某种原因我发现了自己。
I asked her why she wanted to know.
我问她为什么想知道。
Well, she explained, Dan Rather’s booker just called looking for an O.J.
嗯，她解释说，丹·拉瑟的预订者刚刚打电话来寻找 O.J.
expert to go on 48 Hours tonight.
专家今晚继续48小时。
Everyone else is still at lunch.
其他人还在吃午饭。
Can you do it?
你能做到吗？
After that, Carlson was on TV regularly as a talking head.
此后，卡尔森经常在电视上担任谈话嘉宾。
Five years later, in 2000, he was asked to go on CNN to give commentary after the Lieberman-Cheney debate.
五年后，即 2000 年，他受邀在 CNN 上发表利伯曼与切尼辩论后的评论。
That analysis launched the CNN show The Spin Room, co-hosted by Carlson and Bill Press.
这项分析推出了由卡尔森和比尔·普雷斯联合主持的 CNN 节目《The Spin Room》。
It aired at 1 in the morning, then 11 and 11:30 at night, before finally coming to rest at 10:30.
凌晨1点播出，然后是晚上11点和11点30分，最后在10点30分结束。
The show was short-lived, and little-loved: “Press is a hopeless, dithering wimp who makes Carlson’s bow-tied twit look like The Rock,” wrote a critic in Entertainment Weekly in 2001.
这部剧的寿命很短，也没有多少人喜欢：“媒体是一个绝望的、犹豫不决的懦夫，他让卡尔森打着领结的傻瓜看起来像巨石强森，”2001 年《娱乐周刊》上的一位评论家写道。
“Between them, Carlson and Press would be hard-pressed to win a debate with network weatherman Flip Spiceland over whether or not the sun is out in Atlanta.”
“卡尔森和普雷斯很难赢得与电视天气预报员弗利普·斯派斯兰关于亚特兰大太阳是否出来的辩论。”
But somehow, despite the cancellation of his debut show, Carlson’s career as player in political TV was on.
但不知何故，尽管卡尔森的首秀被取消，但他作为政治电视演员的职业生涯仍在继续。
In 2001, Carlson was asked to co-host Crossfire with Paul Begala.
2001年，卡尔森受邀与保罗·贝加拉共同主持《穿越火线》。
He also hosted a weekly public affairs show on PBS, Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered.
他还在 PBS 主持每周一次的公共事务节目《塔克·卡尔森：未经过滤》(Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered)。
The most notable moment of Crossfire , the one everyone remembers, aired on October 15, 2004.
《穿越火线》中最引人注目的时刻，也是所有人都记得的，是在 2004 年 10 月 15 日播出的。
That was the day Jon Stewart came on Crossfire and called Tucker Carlson a dick.
就在那天，乔恩·斯图尔特 (Jon Stewart) 出现在《穿越火线》(Crossfire) 节目中，并称塔克·卡尔森 (Tucker Carlson) 是个混蛋。
It’s an infamous moment in cable news history.
这是有线电视新闻史上臭名昭著的时刻。
Carlson and Begala seem to think Stewart is there to promote his book, but he immediately begins criticizing the show.
卡尔森和贝加拉似乎认为斯图尔特是在那里宣传他的书，但他立即开始批评该节目。
Any attempt by the co-hosts to retake control comes off as weak and wheedling.
联合主持人任何重新夺回控制权的尝试都会被认为是软弱和哄骗的。
They try to bait him, but Stewart won’t budge.
他们试图引诱他，但斯图尔特不肯让步。
He defends himself as saying he’s just entertainment, a defense that in hindsight feels misleading considering the way The Daily Show changed news and comedy.
他为自己辩护说他只是娱乐，考虑到《每日秀》改变新闻和喜剧的方式，事后看来，这种辩护感觉具有误导性。
In response, Carlson stutters.
卡尔森结结巴巴地回答道。
He’s defensive.
他是防守型的。
He laughs nervously, an early sign of what would become a trademark tic.
他紧张地笑了，这是后来成为标志性抽搐的早期迹象。
“Stop, stop, stop, stop hurting America,” Stewart begs Begala and Carlson.
“停止，停止，停止，停止伤害美国，”斯图尔特恳求贝加拉和卡尔森。
The conversation escalates from there, with Stewart lecturing the duo on their cable news theater which masquerades as journalism.
谈话从那时开始升级，斯图尔特在他们伪装成新闻业的有线电视新闻剧院上向二人讲课。
Begala says little.
贝加拉很少说话。
It’s Carlson who tries to parry Stewart’s blows.
卡尔森试图招架斯图尔特的攻击。
But Stewart does what Carlson would later learn to do so well, he comes out of the gate with an impossible line of questioning and a disingenuous defense.
但斯图尔特做了卡尔森后来学到的很好的事情，他带着不可能的质询和不诚实的辩护走出了大门。
“I had consumed five or six pills of Tylenol, of 800 milligrams each.
“我吃了五六粒泰诺，每粒 800 毫克。
I tried to lessen my physical pain.”
我试图减轻身体上的疼痛。”
At one point, Carlson notes, “I do think you’re more fun on your show.
卡尔森一度指出，“我确实认为你的节目更有趣。
Just my opinion.”
只是我的意见。”
Stewart doesn’t miss a beat.
斯图尔特没有错过任何一个节拍。
“You know what’s interesting, though?
“你知道什么是有趣的吗？
You’re as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.”
你在你的节目中就像在任何节目中一样大。”
Carlson clearly still has scars from the exchange.
卡尔森显然仍然对这次交流留下了伤疤。
“Jon Stewart was far more popular than I was,” he says, “and so he was recorded as having won the argument.
“乔恩·斯图尔特比我受欢迎得多，”他说，“所以他被记录为赢得了这场争论。
But I never understood what the argument was.”
但我一直不明白他们的论点是什么。”
The argument, of course, was that Carlson was hurting America with his rhetoric.
当然，争论的焦点是卡尔森的言论正在伤害美国。
And in some ways, that’s still the argument.
在某些方面，这仍然是争论的焦点。
The power dynamic has changed.
权力动态已经改变。
And now, Carlson is the one making people stutter defensively.
而现在，卡尔森就是那个让人在防守上结结巴巴的人。
Though Stewart has long been off the air, the parallels between the two men still resonate.
尽管斯图尔特早已不再播音，但两人之间的相似之处仍然引起共鸣。
Today on his show, Carlson often comes right out of the gate with impossible and leading questions, like Stewart did.
今天，在他的节目中，卡尔森经常一开始就提出不可能的和引导性的问题，就像斯图尔特那样。
He recently asked Julissa Arce, an immigrant rights activist and author, i f she had regrets for committing a felony .
他最近问移民权利活动人士兼作家朱莉莎·阿尔塞是否对犯下重罪感到后悔。
And he asked law professor Ekow N.
他询问了法学教授 Ekow N.
Yankah when it became acceptable to generalize about people based on race.
当基于种族对人进行概括变得可以接受时，Yankah 就出现了。
In 2004, people saw Stewart as a rogue, a truth teller, someone who skewered both sides equally.
2004年，人们认为斯图尔特是一个流氓、一个说真话的人、一个平等地刺伤双方的人。
Carlson sees himself the same way.
卡尔森也以同样的方式看待自己。
“I think you’ll find a lot of people who say I’m repugnant or expired or whatever, but I don’t think I’m fake.”
“我想你会发现很多人说我令人厌恶、过期了或者诸如此类，但我不认为我是假的。”
Crossfire was cancelled a few months after the Stewart appearance, and former CNN President Jon Klein tells CJR that yes, he did agree with Stewart.
斯图尔特露面几个月后，《穿越火线》就被取消了，前 CNN 主席乔恩·克莱因 (Jon Klein) 告诉 CJR，是的，他确实同意斯图尔特的观点。
He cancelled the show in order to change the culture at CNN.
他取消了该节目以改变 CNN 的文化。
“The original premise that two intelligent people from opposite sides of the spectrum could shed some fascinating light on the issues of the day had devolved in a predictable Punch and Judy show.”
“最初的假设是，两个来自不同领域的聪明人可以对当今的问题提出一些有趣的见解，但这一假设已经在可预见的《潘趣与朱迪》节目中发生了转变。”
Then he goes even further.
然后他走得更远。
“Canceling Crossfire was one of the best decisions I made,” says Klein.
“取消交火是我做出的最好的决定之一，”克莱因说。
In response to Klein, Carlson shot back, “ I was long gone from CNN and employed at another network by the time Crossfire got canceled.
作为对克莱因的回应，卡尔森反驳道：“当《穿越火线》被取消时，我已经离开 CNN 并在另一个电视台工作了。
But for the record Jon Klein is a small and dishonest person.”
但据记录，乔恩·克莱因是一个小而不诚实的人。”
For about a second, the moment marked a watershed for Carlson.
大约有一秒钟，这一刻标志着卡尔森的分水岭。
He seemed to change.
他似乎变了。
He got an MSNBC show and told people it would be different.
他参加了 MSNBC 的节目并告诉人们这会有所不同。
He wouldn’t shout.
他不会喊叫。
He ditched the bow tie.
他丢掉了领结。
In a 2005 interview about his now-cancelled MSNBC show, Carlson told Television Week , “This is not ever a show that will ever have guests debating each other.
2005 年，卡尔森在接受《电视周刊》采访时谈到了他现已取消的 MSNBC 节目，他告诉《电视周刊》：“这从来都不是一个让嘉宾相互辩论的节目。
Ever.
曾经。
That is the form in cable news.
这就是有线电视新闻的形式。
We’re never doing that.
我们从不这样做。
Ever.
曾经。
That’s a worn-out format, and I am not going to do that…
这是一种过时的格式，我不会这样做……
‘ I’m right, you’re wrong.’ I hate that.” That same article described Carlson as saying “no” to shouting matches.
‘我是对的，你错了。’我讨厌这样。”同一篇文章称卡尔森对争吵说“不”。
He then went on Dancing with the Stars and was immediately voted off.
然后他继续与星共舞，但立即被否决。
After MSNBC cancelled Carlson’s show, in 2008, he and his college roommate, former Dick Cheney aide Neil Patel, launched a media start-up, The Daily Caller.
2008 年，MSNBC 取消了卡尔森的节目后，他和他的大学室友、迪克·切尼的前助手尼尔·帕特尔创办了一家媒体初创公司 The Daily Caller。
The Caller was supposed to be a new kind of conservative outlet—thoughtful, responsible, researched.
《来电者》被认为是一种新型的保守派媒体——深思熟虑、负责任、经过研究。
They hired Megan Mulligan from The Guardian to run the day-to-day editorial operations, and for awhile at least, Carlson was hands on.
他们聘请了《卫报》的梅根·穆里根 (Megan Mulligan) 负责日常编辑工作，至少在一段时间内，卡尔森亲力亲为。
He’d go to editorial meetings with note cards full of ideas.
他会带着写满想法的记事卡去参加编辑会议。
But the site was probably doomed from the beginning.
但该网站可能从一开始就注定失败。
To start with, The Daily Caller was funded by conservative philanthropist Foster Friess, who is famous for telling Andrea Mitchell that in his day, “gals” used to clutch aspirin between their knees as a form of birth control.
首先，The Daily Caller 是由保守派慈善家福斯特·弗里斯 (Foster Friess) 资助的，他因告诉安德里亚·米切尔 (Andrea Mitchell) 在他那个时代，“女孩”常常把阿司匹林夹在膝盖之间作为一种避孕方式而闻名。
Editorially, Carlson insisted the site would be independent, and in March 2010, the Caller ran a story about RNC chair Michael Steele using party funds on a private plane and an evening at a bondage-themed nightclub.
在社论上，卡尔森坚称该网站将是独立的，2010 年 3 月，The Caller 刊登了一篇关于共和党全国委员会主席迈克尔·斯蒂尔 (Michael Steele) 在一架私人飞机上使用政党资金以及在一家以束缚为主题的夜总会度过一晚的故事。
The story was poorly sourced and drew more skepticism than accolades.
这个故事的来源很差，引起的怀疑多于赞誉。
When writer Mickey Kaus published an article criticizing Fox News, Carlson immediately removed it.
当作家米基·考斯发表批评福克斯新闻的文章时，卡尔森立即将其删除。
Carlson had a contract with the network as a commentator and, according to Kaus, he said he couldn’t criticize Carlson’s employer.
卡尔森与该电视台签订了担任评论员的合同，据考斯称，他说他不能批评卡尔森的雇主。
So much for independence.
独立就这么多了。
Kaus insists he respects Carlson’s decision and that it’s all “water under the bridge,” but the dream of a rogue outlet of hard-hitting, conservative journalism was never realized.
考斯坚称他尊重卡尔森的决定，并且这一切都是“桥下的水”，但强硬、保守的新闻业的流氓出口的梦想从未实现。
And the site withered from there.
该网站从此衰落。
Right now the site highlights sensationalist stories about “illegal aliens,” justifiable homicide, and a hit piece on Beto O’Rourke.
目前，该网站重点关注有关“非法外星人”、正当杀人以及贝托·奥罗克的热门作品等耸人听闻的故事。
What The Daily Caller became, a former employee told me, was far different than what it was intended to be.
一位前雇员告诉我，《每日来电》的发展与它的初衷大相径庭。
“They used all the technology that told them who was reading the site and what they wanted.
“他们使用了所有技术来告诉他们谁在阅读该网站以及他们想要什么。
So, they gave the people what they wanted.”
所以，他们给了人们他们想要的东西。”
Which brings us to where we find Carlson today and what the hell happened to him.
这让我们看到了今天卡尔森的位置以及他到底发生了什么。
Every segment and every outburst that “media elites” criticize just make his fans love him more.
“媒体精英”诟病的每一个片段、每一个爆发，都只会让粉丝更加喜爱他。
The more outrage he inspires, the braver, the bolder, the more courageous he seems to his audience.
他激起的愤怒越多，他在观众眼中就显得越勇敢、越大胆、越勇敢。
So, the question What happened to Tucker Carlson?
那么，问题是塔克·卡尔森怎么了？
is, in the words of Carlson, Are you dumb?
用卡尔森的话来说，就是，你傻吗？
If you are asking it, he isn’t for you, and perhaps he was never for you.
如果你问的话，他不适合你，也许他从来都不适合你。
The two ways of seeing Tucker Carlson are best explained through the titles of YouTube videos: “‘The Day CNN Will Never Forget’ Jon Stewart Wrecks CNN to Pieces” one Tucker Carlson clip is titled.
YouTube 视频的标题可以最好地解释看待塔克·卡尔森的两种方式：“‘CNN 永远不会忘记的那一天’乔恩·斯图尔特将 CNN 打得粉碎”，塔克·卡尔森的一段视频的标题是这样。
“ FLASHBACK: Tucker Brutally Exposes Hypocritical Stewart on Crossfire ” another claims.
“闪回：塔克在交火中残酷地揭露了虚伪的斯图尔特”另一个说法。
They both link to essentially the same video footage, the day Carlson was lectured by Stewart.
它们都链接到本质上相同的视频片段，即卡尔森接受斯图尔特演讲的那天。
Similarly, “Tucker Carlson Meets His Maker Lauren Duca” and “Tucker Slays Crazy Lauren Duca” show the same clip.
同样，“Tucker Carlson Meets His Maker Lauren Duca”和“Tucker Slays Crazy Lauren Duca”也显示了相同的剪辑。
These clips are a lesson in the disconnect between the Americas.
这些片段是美洲之间脱节的一个教训。
For his fans, the criticisms of him and the controversy drummed up by the show create the perception of Carlson (a rich white man who owns multiple homes and could inherit even more money) as an underdog.
对于他的粉丝来说，对他的批评以及该剧引发的争议让卡尔森（一个拥有多处房产并可以继承更多财产的富有的白人）被视为失败者。
A charming rogue.
一个迷人的盗贼。
Someone who succeeds no matter what the liberal media tries to smear on him.
无论自由派媒体如何抹黑他，他都会成功。
“My role is really simple,” he tells me, “I want to tell the truth as I see it.
“我的角色非常简单，”他告诉我，“我想说出我所看到的真相。
I want to be as honest as I can.
我想尽可能诚实。
I don’t think of myself as representing any group of people anywhere.”
我不认为自己代表任何地方的任何群体。”
Every segment and every outburst that “media elites” criticize just make his fans love him more.
“媒体精英”诟病的每一个片段、每一个爆发，都只会让粉丝更加喜爱他。
The more outrage he inspires, the braver, the bolder, the more courageous he seems to his audience.
他激起的愤怒越多，他在观众眼中就显得越勇敢、越大胆、越勇敢。
And who doesn’t love a rogue?
谁不喜欢流氓呢？
Since the day Hermes stole Apollo’s cattle, people have always loved a renegade.
自从赫尔墨斯偷走了阿波罗的牛那天起，人们就一直喜爱叛逆者。
Hell, America voted for a rogue as president.
天哪，美国投票给了一个流氓当总统。
In that way, Carlson is perfect for this moment in history.
从这个意义上说，卡尔森是历史上这一时刻的完美人选。
A man without loyalties, except to the truth.
一个除了真理之外没有忠诚的人。
And for what it’s worth, Carlson has always characterized himself this way.
无论如何，卡尔森总是这样描述自己。
He belongs to no clubs except a fly fishing one.
除了飞钓俱乐部外，他不属于任何俱乐部。
He belongs to no party.
他不属于任何党派。
He even says he has a spotty history of voting.
他甚至说他的投票历史参差不齐。
A former co-worker likens Carlson’s appeal to that of a rowdy prep school frat boy.
一位前同事将卡尔森的吸引力比作一个吵闹的预科学校兄弟会男孩。
“What’s the reputation of frat boys?
“兄弟会男孩的声誉如何？
They go get drunk, chase after women, okay?…
他们去喝醉，去追女人，好吗？
What’s not to like?
有什么不喜欢的？
What’s not to identify with?
什么是不认同的？
It’s basically what a lot of American culture is about.”
这基本上就是很多美国文化的主题。”
And Carlson has a rowdy frat-boy reputation.
卡尔森有着吵闹的兄弟会男孩名声。
He is rumored to have dumped a drink on the head of Grover Norquist , after Norquist insulted his father.
据传，在诺奎斯特侮辱了他的父亲后，他将一杯饮料泼到了格罗弗·诺奎斯特的头上。
(Carlson clarified to me through his PR person that it was not water.) Carlson also once gave a party for Jack Abramoff, as a way to spit in the eye of the DC elite.
（卡尔森通过他的公关人员向我澄清，那不是水。）卡尔森还曾经为杰克·阿布拉莫夫举办了一场派对，以此来向华盛顿精英吐口水。
Additionally, according to an account he wrote about in Politics, Partisans, and Parasites , he was almost brought down by scandal when was accused of raping a woman in Indiana.
此外，根据他在《政治、游击队和寄生虫》中写的一篇报道，当他被指控在印第安纳州强奸一名妇女时，他几乎因丑闻而垮台。
The woman, whom he names in the book, Kimberly Carter, accused Carlson of drugging and raping her at Harper’s Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky.
他在书中提到的这名女子名叫金伯利·卡特(Kimberly Carter)，她指控卡尔森在肯塔基州路易斯维尔的哈珀餐厅对她下药并强奸了她。
CJR tried to speak to Carter about the incident, but was unable to reach her and her lawyer did not return calls and emails requesting comment.
CJR 试图与卡特谈论此事，但未能联系到她，她的律师也没有回复要求置评的电话和电子邮件。
But according to the book, the incident was groundless.
但据书中称，这一事件毫无根据。
Carter and Carlson were never in the same room together, the charges were dropped and Carter recanted.
卡特和卡尔森从未共处一室，指控被撤销，卡特也撤回了指控。
The book itself is a frustrating compilation of anecdotes that includes a vigorous defense of Gary Condit and the line, “I couldn’t imagine [Monica Lewinsky] wearing a thong.
这本书本身就是一本令人沮丧的轶事汇编，其中包括对加里·康迪特的大力辩护，以及这样一句话：“我无法想象[莫妮卡·莱温斯基]穿着丁字裤。
I couldn’t imagine wanting to see it.”
我无法想象想要看到它。”
I’m sorry, are you offended?
对不起，你生气了吗？
That’s the whole point of the book—his irascible and contrarian humor.
这就是这本书的全部要点——他暴躁而逆反的幽默。
And if you don’t find it funny, well, he writes, “Liberals used to be funny.
如果你不觉得这很有趣，那么，他写道，“自由主义者曾经很有趣。
They edited magazines like National Lampoon .
他们编辑《国家讽刺》等杂志。
They had a claim on cool.
他们对酷有自己的主张。
Then something happened.
然后发生了一些事情。
They became sour and earnest and neurotic about secondhand smoke.
他们对二手烟变得尖刻、认真和神经质。
The Democratic party became the party of the uptight establishment, the that’s-not-funny-young-man party, the party of no fun.”
民主党变成了保守派的政党、无趣的年轻人政党、无趣的政党。”
Immediately after his musings on the dour moralizing of liberals, Carlson describes a drunk Jim Traficant’s attempting to assault a cable news employee.
在思考了对自由主义者的阴郁说教之后，卡尔森立即描述了醉酒的吉姆·特拉菲坎特试图袭击一名有线电视新闻员工的故事。
It’s a funny anecdote for him.
这对他来说是一个有趣的轶事。
“It was always acceptable to be amused by Jim Traficant, and I usually was,” he writes.
“被吉姆·特拉菲坎特逗乐总是可以接受的，我通常都是这样，”他写道。
It’s the equivalent of a man telling you to go make him a goddamn sandwich, then calling you uptight when you cross your arms and frown.
这相当于一个男人告诉你去给他做一个该死的三明治，然后当你交叉双臂皱着眉头时叫你紧张。
I can imagine Carlson telling me I was humorless for writing this.
我可以想象卡尔森告诉我，我写这篇文章很没有幽默感。
He’d be bored by my moralizing, and as a former employee of his told me, “Tucker hates to be bored.”
他会对我的说教感到厌倦，正如他的一位前雇员告诉我的那样，“塔克讨厌感到无聊。”
It’s like Carlson wrote about Bill O’Reilly: “[He is a] guy who tells the truth and demands that others do the same.
就像卡尔森对比尔·奥莱利的描述：“[他]是一个说真话并要求其他人也这样做的人。
A man who won’t be pushed around or take maybe for an answer …
一个不会被摆布或寻求答案的人......
And like everyone in media he has a schtick …
和媒体界的每个人一样，他有一个小伎俩……
It works.
它有效。
But there’s a price.
但有一个价格。
O’Reilly’s success is built on the perception that he really is who he claims to be.
奥莱利的成功建立在他确实是他所声称的人的观念之上。
If he ever gets caught out of character, it’s over.”
如果他被发现不符合他的性格，那就完了。”
He then concludes that O’Reilly won’t get caught out of character, because his real life persona and TV character have merged.
然后他得出结论，奥莱利不会脱离角色，因为他的现实生活角色和电视角色已经融合。
It’s an insight that feels jarring in light of O’Reilly’s sexual misconduct allegations.
鉴于奥莱利的不当性行为指控，这种见解让人感到不舒服。
And it’s something I heard people say over and over about Carlson—that on TV he was a persona.
我听到人们一遍又一遍地谈论卡尔森——在电视上他是一个人物。
But by the time I spoke to him, I couldn’t see the difference.
但当我和他交谈时，我看不出有什么不同。
It’s a Shakespearean conundrum, one Hamlet grappled with as he pretended to be mad.
这是一个莎士比亚的难题，哈姆雷特假装生气时一直在努力解决这个难题。
Insisting, until the end, that he knew a “hawk from a handsaw.”
直到最后，他都坚持认为“手锯是鹰”。
Spoiler alert: The stories of O’Reilly and Hamlet don’t end well for anyone.
剧透警告：奥莱利和哈姆雷特的故事对任何人来说都没有好结局。
Yet whatever grand unified theory of Carlson you believe impacts how you see his career.
然而，无论你相信卡尔森的什么大统一理论，都会影响你如何看待他的职业生涯。
How you see America.
你如何看待美国。
And we could go round and round.
我们可以一圈又一圈。
All theories seem to be truth and untrue.
所有的理论似乎都是正确的，又似乎都是错误的。
But this wily incongruity of Carlson—his refusal to be pinned down, his legendary contrarianism—is why his audience loves him.
但卡尔森的这种狡猾的不协调——他拒绝被束缚，他传奇般的逆向思维——正是他的观众喜欢他的原因。
He’s an independent thinker, just like them.
他是一个独立的思想家，就像他们一样。
He’s not loyal to a party, just like them.
他不像他们一样忠于某个政党。
He tells them to think for themselves.
他告诉他们要独立思考。
To trust no one.
不相信任何人。
The mainstream media is lying to you, he says.
他说，主流媒体在骗你。
Everyone, except him of course.
每个人，当然除了他。
It’s like the scene in the movie, The Life of Brian where Brian, tells a crowd of people, “You are all individuals.”
就像电影《布莱恩的一生》中的场景，布莱恩对一群人说：“你们都是个体。”
Carlson’s “independence,” says Richard West, professor of communications at Emerson College and author of five books on interpersonal communications, is “change-the-subject conservatism.” Meaning that Carlson’s deftness in defying any one party or ideology and is more about a winning rhetorical strategy than a noble enterprise.
艾默生学院传播学教授、五本关于人际传播的书籍的作者理查德·韦斯特说，卡尔森的“独立性”是“改变主题的保守主义”。这意味着卡尔森在反抗任何政党或意识形态方面的灵巧，更多的是一种制胜的修辞策略，而不是一项崇高的事业。
“It’s quite a remarkable tactic,” West explains, “because you don’t give people an opportunity to digest …
“这是一个非常了不起的策略，”韦斯特解释道，“因为你不给人们一个消化的机会……
I do believe he’s a conversational narcissist.
我确实相信他是一个谈话自恋者。
He hijacks the conversation and contorts it to his own value structure.”
他劫持了对话并将其扭曲为他自己的价值结构。”
Carlson, through his PR person, stated, “I have no idea what that means and West is welcome to come on the show anytime.
卡尔森通过他的公关人员表示：“我不知道这意味着什么，欢迎韦斯特随时参加节目。
But I bet you dinner, he is too afraid.”
不过我跟你打赌吃饭，他太害怕了。”
What Carlson’s fans hear, in response to that kind of intellectual moralizing from West, is just another boring lib who doesn’t get it.
卡尔森的粉丝们所听到的，针对韦斯特那种知识分子的说教，只不过是又一个不明白的无聊的自由派。
In a Kindle single titled Bill O’Reilly and Tucker Carlson: The Transition of Very Different Conservative Hosts at Fox News the author, Richard West (but not the communications professor from Emerson), revels in Carlson’s tricksterism.
在 Kindle 上的单曲《比尔·奥莱利和塔克·卡尔森：福克斯新闻中截然不同的保守派主持人的转变》中，作者理查德·韦斯特（但不是艾默生大学的传播学教授）对卡尔森的诡计着迷。
This West notes that in August of 2017, Carlson stated that Donald Trump staring at the eclipse without protective eyewear was the “the most impressive thing a president has ever done.“
《This West》指出，2017 年 8 月，卡尔森表示，唐纳德·特朗普在没有戴防护眼镜的情况下凝视日食是“总统做过的最令人印象深刻的事情”。
This comment catalyzed a lot of people to mock Carlson.
此言论引发不少人嘲笑卡尔森。
But for Carlson and his supporters, it was an inside joke.
但对于卡尔森和他的支持者来说，这是一个内部笑话。
Carlson later told Business Insider , “It was a test to see if liberals are really as slow and humorless as people claim,” Carlson said.
卡尔森后来告诉《商业内幕》，“这是一次测试，看看自由主义者是否真的像人们声称的那样缓慢和缺乏幽默感，”卡尔森说。
“Turns out they are.”
“事实证明他们是。”
It’s a neat trick.
这是一个巧妙的技巧。
Say something and when challenged, insist it was a joke.
说一些话，当受到质疑时，坚称这是一个笑话。
As if jokes themselves rise above criticism.
仿佛笑话本身就超越了批评。
Or by not laughing you are a humorless bore—a liberal.
或者如果你不笑，你就是一个没有幽默感的无聊人——一个自由主义者。
It’s just a play on another Carlson rhetorical move: Say something and then, when criticized, insist that criticism is an attempt to infringe on free speech.
这只是卡尔森的另一个修辞手法的发挥：说一些话，然后在受到批评时坚持认为批评是试图侵犯言论自由。
This was the circle of hell I found myself stuck in during my interview with Carlson.
这就是我在接受卡尔森采访时发现自己陷入的地狱循环。
I had expected a genial conversation.
我原以为会有一次愉快的谈话。
Every profile of Carlson depicts him as a lovely, rational man— fly fishing , making pancakes , leaning back in a chair and chewing Nicorette .
卡尔森的每一个侧面都把他描绘成一个可爱、理性的人——飞蝇钓鱼、做煎饼、靠在椅子上、咀嚼尼可雷特。
Sources have told me he’s charming.
消息人士告诉我他很有魅力。
He’s engaging.
他很有魅力。
He’s fun and interesting.
他很有趣。
And all of that was from people who think his politics are abhorrent.
所有这些都来自那些认为他的政治令人憎恶的人。
My editor offered to send me out to meet him, but Carlson declined.
我的编辑提出要派我去见他，但卡尔森拒绝了。
I got a phone call instead.
我接到了一个电话。
Which, okay, maybe he was busy and besides, I’m not famous.
好吧，也许他很忙，而且我也不出名。
But after our initial conversation about how much we both love Cheetos and both wish we had more kids, the conversation devolved into a lecture on free speech.
但在我们最初谈论我们都多么喜欢奇多并且都希望我们有更多的孩子之后，谈话就变成了一场关于言论自由的讲座。
It was a kind of boring lecture, the kind Carlson abhors.
这是一种无聊的讲座，是卡尔森所厌恶的。
It seemed like a moot point.
这似乎是一个有争议的问题。
He has a large platform and all the money and privilege.
他有一个很大的平台和所有的金钱和特权。
Who is censoring him?
谁在审查他？
And by that token, conservatives have won.
由此看来，保守派获胜了。
They have the White House and congress.
他们有白宫和国会。
So much winning, right?
赢了这么多，对吧？
After our initial conversation about how much we both love Cheetos and both wish we had more kids, the conversation devolved into a lecture on free speech.
在我们最初谈论我们都多么喜欢奇多并且都希望我们有更多的孩子之后，谈话变成了一场关于言论自由的讲座。
But according to Carlson, censorship is everywhere.
但卡尔森认为，审查制度无处不在。
Liberals are suppressing free speech in America by saying they are offended by everything, he tells me.
他告诉我，自由主义者声称一切都冒犯了他们，从而压制了美国的言论自由。
The tech guy at Google, he says, who was fired for exercising his free speech.
他说，谷歌的技术人员因行使言论自由而被解雇。
Carlson is referring to the ex-Google employee James Damore who wrote posts on an internal company message board attributing psychological differences between men and women as the reason there was a gender gap at Google.
卡尔森指的是前谷歌员工詹姆斯·达莫尔（James Damore），他在公司内部留言板上发帖，将男性和女性之间的心理差异归因于谷歌存在性别差距的原因。
Damore, Carlson argues, was fired for exercising his free speech.
卡尔森认为，达莫尔因行使言论自由而被解雇。
He was the epitome of diversity.
他是多样性的缩影。
And he got fired in the name of diversity.
他以多元化的名义被解雇了。
America, what a country.
美国，多么一个国家啊。
It’s totally Orwellian.
这完全是奥威尔式的。
And did I know that biologists have proven there are only two genders?
我是否知道生物学家已经证明只有两种性别？
Just two.
只有两个。
And no high school teacher in the world would tell me otherwise.
世界上没有哪个高中老师会告诉我其他的事情。
But it makes liberals mad when you say the truth.
但当你说出真相时，它会让自由主义者生气。
Get a biologist to say he’s wrong and he’ll listen but until then.
让一位生物学家说他错了，他会听的，但在那之前。
No.
不。
I point out that sexuality and gender are inherently different and maybe he’s conflating the two.
我指出性欲和性别本质上是不同的，也许他把两者混为一谈了。
“Look biological reality is…
“看看生物学的现实是……
super deep and exists apart from whatever social construct you’re buying into…and that comes with all kinds of physical consequences,” he explains, explaining nothing.
超级深刻，并且独立于你所接受的任何社会结构而存在……这会带来各种物理后果，”他解释道，但什么也没解释。
After the interview, I sent his PR person a link to an article that explains how science has indeed concluded that gender is not binary.
采访结束后，我向他的公关人员发送了一篇文章的链接，该文章解释了科学如何确实得出性别不是二元的结论。
His PR person told me “he has no comment on that.”
他的公关人员告诉我“他对此不予置评”。
Carlson sees himself as brave for pointing out these truths in the minefield of liberal feelings.
卡尔森认为自己在自由主义情感的雷区指出这些真理是勇敢的。
He likens it to Galileo, put to death for saying the earth is round.
他将其比作伽利略，因说地球是圆的而被处死。
“You should be allowed to say what is provably true and I guess if you don’t agree with that….
“你应该被允许说出可证明的事实，我想如果你不同意这一点......
that’s by definition irrational and it freaks me out when a large organization punishes people on the basis of irrational belief, because once that starts happening, like, why not kill the people that disagree with you?”
从定义上来说，这是不合理的，当一个大型组织基于非理性信念惩罚人们时，我感到很害怕，因为一旦这种情况开始发生，就像，为什么不杀死那些不同意你的人呢？”
“Is this censorship,” I manage to ask, “or just consequences?
“这是审查制度，”我设法问道，“还是只是后果？
Doesn’t speech have consequences?” But Carlson dodges.
难道言论就没有后果吗？”但卡尔森躲开了。
“You agreed there are some things we are not allowed to say because of diversity,” he says.
“你同意，由于多样性，有些事情我们不能说，”他说。

我告诉他，特朗普当选一年后，我结束了与共和党人长达 12 年的婚姻。
“I’ve seen speech have real disastrous consequences.
