Prologue Ira Glass OK, Sarah.

So it's ten to 1:00 on a Friday night in November, and we're sitting on your porch.

Ira Glass One of the producers of our radio show, Sarah Koenig, moved to a college town because her husband got a job teaching there.
艾拉·格拉斯 (Ira Glass) 我们广播节目的制作人之一萨拉·科尼格 (Sarah Koenig) 搬到了大学城,因为她的丈夫在那里找到了一份教书的工作。

这些孩子看起来喝醉了。
This couple here, they're sort of staggering a bit.
这对夫妇,他们有点令人震惊。

It's nine students walking down the middle of the street.

Happens all the time.
一直在发生。
It's noisy, right?
很吵,对吧?
It's like it doesn't occur to them at all, I think, that there are people just in these houses trying to sleep.
我想,他们好像根本没有想到,这些房子里有人试图睡觉。
And I kind of remember being that way in college, too, actually.
事实上,我记得大学时也是这样。
Yeah, I do too.
是的,我也一样。
Six minutes later, there's another group of drunk students.
六分钟后,又来了一群醉酒的学生。

Ira Glass Five minutes after that, we hear this clattering from the alley that runs next to Sarah's house.

That's somebody's property.
那是某人的财产。
That might have been a sign, actually.
实际上,这可能是一个迹象。
I don't know how many street signs you need to hear dragged through your neighborhood before you can recognize the sound it makes from all the way around the corner, but apparently my colleague Sarah has seen whatever that number is.
我不知道你需要听到多少街道标志拖过你的邻居才能识别出它从拐角处发出的声音,但显然我的同事莎拉已经看到了这个数字。

With that, the other guy starts running with the street sign toward Garner Street, which is hard, because it's attached to a seven foot metal pole, and it's heavy.
说完,另一个人开始拿着路牌朝加纳街跑,这很困难,因为它连接到一根七英尺的金属杆上,而且很重。

And it's not a minute later that Sara points toward the alley, where there are three girls in miniskirts, under a streetlight, fully visible.
不到一分钟,萨拉指着小巷,那里有三个穿着迷你裙的女孩,在路灯下,清晰可见。

撒尿,撒尿,撒尿,撒尿,撒尿。
[INAUDIBLE]
[听不清]

She stopped.
她停了下来。
She stopped.

You know, that might be why the plants grow really, really well in that spot, I'm just realizing.
你知道,这可能就是为什么植物在那个地方长得非常非常好的原因,我刚刚意识到。
Sarah's caught other groups of girls peeing in that same spot.
莎拉发现其他一群女孩在同一个地方撒尿。
Once she heard a girl say, "This is a good place.
有一次,她听到一个女孩说:“这是个好地方。
I go here all the time."
我经常去这里。”
They're so embarrassed.
他们太尴尬了
There's like, muffled giggling happening across the street.
街对面传来低沉的咯咯笑声。
The college town that Sarah lives in is State College, Pennsylvania, home of Penn State University, which this year was named the number one party school in the country by the people who name the number one party school, the Princeton Review.
莎拉居住的大学城是宾夕法尼亚州州立学院,宾夕法尼亚州立大学的所在地,今年该校被《普林斯顿评论》评选为全国第一党派学校的人士评为全国第一党派学校。
And this is apparently what it means to be the number one party school.
而这显然就是第一党校的意义所在。
From the moment that Sarah and I turned on the tape recorder to the moment that she sent those girls looking for somebody else's yard to pee in, it's only been 34 minutes.
从我和莎拉打开录音机到她让那些女孩去别人家的院子里撒尿,只用了34分钟。
It's 1:30 in the morning.
现在是凌晨 1 点 30 分。
The fact that we saw that much mayhem sort of going on, at one corner-- so that means it's, multiply that by, you know, this entire neighborhood and other neighborhoods around-- people are peeing everywhere, garbage cans are getting kicked, stop signs are getting pulled out of the road, people are littering.
事实上,我们看到在一个角落里发生了很多混乱——所以这意味着,乘以整个街区和周围的其他街区——人们到处撒尿,垃圾桶被踢,停车标志被从路上拔掉,人们乱扔垃圾。
You know.
你知道。
The Princeton Review chooses the number one party school from online student surveys.
《普林斯顿评论》从在线学生调查中选出了排名第一的派对学校。
120,000 students at 371 schools around the country answered these questions.
全国371所学校的12万名学生回答了这些问题。
"How widely used are beer, alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs at your school?" "How big is frat life at your school?" And finally, "How many hours do you study each day?"
“你们学校啤酒、酒精、大麻和其他毒品的使用有多广泛?” “你们学校的兄弟会生活有多大?”最后,“你每天学习几个小时?”
Students aren't randomly selected, so it's not, strictly speaking, a scientific survey.
学生不是随机选择的,因此严格来说,这不是一项科学调查。
But the last two years, Penn State has done very well.
但最近两年,宾夕法尼亚州立大学表现非常好。
It was the number three party school last year, number six the year before that, and nobody argues it is not a very big school for partying.
去年它是排名第三的派对学校,前年排名第六,没有人认为它不是一所非常大的派对学校。
Well, look.
嗯,看看。
We've never said we don't want our students to have fun.
我们从来没有说过我们不希望我们的学生玩得开心。
The University's president, Graham Spanier, discussed the number one ranking in a faculty senate meeting this fall.
该大学校长格雷厄姆·斯潘尼尔(Graham Spanier)在今年秋天的教职评议会会议上讨论了第一名的排名。
The only recording that exist is from a webcast Penn State did at the meeting, so you hear the audio is little sketchy.
唯一存在的录音来自宾夕法尼亚州立大学在会议上进行的网络广播,因此您听到的音频有点粗略。
But still fine.
但还好。
I mean, when people talk about oh, Penn State's a party school, I'm not-- it doesn't bother me at all, actually.
我的意思是,当人们谈论哦,宾夕法尼亚州立大学是一所派对学校时,我不是——实际上,这根本不困扰我。

It's not like somebody came in here and did an assessment of the place.
并不是有人来到这里并对这个地方进行了评估。
It's an online, web-based thing.
这是一个在线的、基于网络的东西。
And whenever there's an online, web-based thing, Penn State always wins.
每当出现在线、基于网络的事物时,宾夕法尼亚州立大学总是获胜。
We have the best mascot in the country.
我们有全国最好的吉祥物。
We probably do.
我们可能会这样做。
But I guarantee that any online voting for the best mascot in the country, we're going to win that.

You know?
你知道?
We're the number one university on Facebook.
我们是 Facebook 上排名第一的大学。
We're the number one university with Twitter.

So when these party school things, some of our students get online and vote?
那么当这些党校事情发生时,我们的一些学生会上网投票吗?
Of course they want to be voted number one.
他们当然希望被选为第一。
Yeah, Penn State.
是的,宾夕法尼亚州立大学。
Then I have to clean up the mess after the votes are in.
然后我必须在投票结束后收拾残局。
Because I got all the donors and alumni, and the media I'm calling for comment.
因为我得到了所有的捐助者、校友以及媒体的意见。
The amount of drinking at the school does concern Spanier.
学校里的饮酒量确实让西班牙人感到担忧。
He told the faculty that when people ask him what's the biggest problem at Penn State, they always expect him to say money, but the answer for a long time has been alcohol.
他告诉教职员工,当人们问他宾夕法尼亚州立大学最大的问题是什么时,他们总是希望他说钱,但很长一段时间答案都是酒精。
And he said it's a problem that's bigger than Penn State.
他说这是一个比宾夕法尼亚州立大学更严重的问题。
Nearly a third of high school seniors across the country binge drink.
全国近三分之一的高中生酗酒。
So it's a bit of a problem that we inherit.
所以这是我们继承的一个问题。
But we also have a cultural environment here, an atmosphere that fosters it.
但我们这里也有一个文化环境,一种培育它的氛围。
Well, today we devote our entire show to the nation's number one party school.
那么,今天我们把整个节目奉献给全国第一的党校。
Not because it's number one and what happens here is unusual, but because it's not unusual at all.
不是因为它是第一并且这里发生的事情不寻常,而是因为它根本不不寻常。
Lots of schools, especially a lot of big state schools, do this much partying.
很多学校,尤其是很多大型公立学校,都会举办这么多的聚会。
Five of us from our staff went down to State College where Sarah lives to record one football weekend in November.

Let's start with the drinking, which is epic.

The Harvard School of Public Health did a study of what schools tend to have the heaviest drinking, and Penn State actually hits all the criteria that they found.
哈佛大学公共卫生学院对哪些学校饮酒最严重的学校进行了一项研究,宾夕法尼亚州立大学实际上符合他们发现的所有标准。
It's located in the northeast, and it has a large undergraduate population-- that would be, in this case, 44,000 students-- a large fraternity system, a nationally-known football team.
它位于东北部,拥有大量本科生(在本例中为 44,000 名学生)、一个庞大的兄弟会系统、一支全国知名的足球队。
Now, the fact is that it probably doesn't hurt it's isolated.
现在,事实是,孤立可能并没有什么坏处。
State College is in a valley nestled between two mountain ridges in a state forest.

It's entire families.

It's outdoor, public drinking, which gives you the feeling, when you're there, that the whole world is drinking.

Probably because there's so much of it.

Starting at eight in the morning, starting really early, which is when these alums got here.

Ira Glass Eight in the morning means, by the way, that if it's a night game, they will tailgate for 12 hours, in the cold, in the freezing cold sometimes, before kickoff.
顺便说一句,艾拉·格拉斯(Ira Glass)早上八点意味着,如果这是一场夜间比赛,他们将在开球前在寒冷中(有时甚至在严寒中)尾随 12 个小时。
I talked to a bunch of alums at a tailgate about what would happen if they weren't allowed to drink at all.
我在后挡板和一群校友谈论了如果他们根本不被允许喝酒会发生什么。
I think there would be a revolt.
我认为将会有一场叛乱。
I think there would be a huge, huge pushback from the alumni that donate a lot of money to this school to say that you can't have alcohol at a tailgate.
我认为向这所学校捐赠大量资金的校友会强烈反对说不能在车尾喝酒。
It's just part of the culture.
这只是文化的一部分。
I mean, that's why this school sells 110,000 tickets for every-- you know, just, it's a part of it.
我的意思是,这就是为什么这所学校每人售出 110,000 张门票——你知道,只是其中的一部分。
It's just part of that tradition.
这只是该传统的一部分。
Usually pounding down drinks at eight in the morning can be kind of, I don't know, bad.
我不知道,通常早上八点喝下去可能有点糟糕。
But the main thing about this kind of drinking, where it's tied in with tradition, and football, and family, and overwhelming sense of school spirit, is that it feels incredibly wholesome.
但这种饮酒方式的主要特点是,它与传统、足球、家庭以及压倒性的学校精神联系在一起,它让人感觉非常健康。
The whole campus feels like a Chevy commercial.
整个校园感觉就像是雪佛兰广告。
Welcoming, people friendly.
热情好客,对人友善。
[UNINTELLIGIBLE]
[无法理解]
The sense that drinking together is what we do spills over from the football games into the whole weekend.
我们所做的就是一起喝酒,这种感觉从足球比赛一直延续到整个周末。
Into the week, too, actually.
实际上,也进入了本周。
It's Friday night, it's the night before the football game, outside East Hall, the big freshman dorms.
这是周五晚上,足球比赛的前一天晚上,东厅外面,大的新生宿舍。
Dozens of kids are lined up for free shuttle buses that are going to take them across campus to the frats and parties on the other side.
数十名孩子正在排队等候免费班车,这些巴士将带他们穿过校园,前往另一边的兄弟会和派对。
Two of our producers, Jane Feltes and Lisa Pollak, noticed that all the girls wore these ratty-looking hoodies and jackets over their dressup clothes.
我们的两位制片人 Jane Feltes 和 Lisa Pollak 注意到所有女孩都在礼服外面穿着这些看起来破旧的连帽衫和夹克。
Somebody else told them support for this is "fracket," and wanted some girls to confirm that.
其他人告诉她们对此的支持是“不和谐的”,并希望一些女孩证实这一点。
Have you guys heard of something called "frackets"?
你们听说过一种叫做“碎片”的东西吗?
Oh, yeah, that's what we're wearing.
哦,是的,我们就是这么穿的。
A fracket, by definition, is a jacket made for frats.
根据定义,fraket 是为兄弟会制作的夹克。
It's basically a crappy jacket that's cheap and you don't care about.
它基本上是一件廉价的蹩脚夹克,你并不关心。
Yeah.
是的。
Because like, they get lost.
因为就像,他们迷路了。
They get, like, puked on.
他们就像被吐了一样。
You don't want that back.
你不想要那个回来。
You don't want it back.
你不想让它回来。
Just lose it.
就失去它吧。
Yeah.
是的。
Jane rode on the bus with the freshmen.
简和新生们一起乘坐公共汽车。
She joins me now.
她现在加入我。
So the reason that they needed the fracket in the first place, is it was really cold that night, and they're wearing next to nothing.
所以他们首先需要防弹衣的原因是那天晚上真的很冷,而且他们几乎什么也没穿。
All the girls had on pretty much the same thing.
所有的女孩都穿着几乎相同的衣服。
Like some version of a mini, mini, mini tube dress, bare legs, and super high platform heels.
就像某些版本的迷你、迷你、迷你抹胸连衣裙,裸腿,还有超高的厚底高跟鞋。
They all look like cocktail waitresses at a strip club.
她们看起来都像脱衣舞俱乐部的鸡尾酒女服务员。

It's your basic drugstore- deli- produce market- hardware- underwear- beer pong- stationary- grocery- Penn State merchandise emporium, which over the years has acquired and absorbed the stores that used to be next to it to the point where it's bought up everything it can, and the only way left to expand is to cram more stuff everywhere.

In the almost 50 years Ray has been working at McLanahan's-- he bought it from Bob McLanahan 40 years ago-- Ray has seen the Penn State merchandise in his store go from almost an afterthought, maybe one rack of sweatshirts, to being a third of his business.
近 50 年来,雷一直在麦克拉纳汉店工作(40 年前,他从鲍勃·麦克拉纳汉那里买了这家店)。雷亲眼目睹了他店里宾夕法尼亚州立大学的商品从几乎是事后才想到的、也许是一排运动衫,变成了他业务的三分之一。

他开着他的黑色土星离子车去跑步,这辆汽车在他大约三年前开始送货时还是新鲜事,但在一个又一个周末停在峡谷披萨店及其夜间人群前后,它受到了一些虐待。

In Pennsylvania, beer is only sold in certain stores.
在宾夕法尼亚州,啤酒仅在某些商店出售。
It's not sold in grocery stores, and it's not sold in the places that sell liquor and wine.
杂货店里没有卖,卖酒的地方也没有卖。
This is just how Pennsylvania does things.
这就是宾夕法尼亚州做事的方式。
It's been this way since the end of Prohibition.
自禁酒令结束以来一直如此。
So Paul Pletcher owns Pletcher's, one of the beer stores in State College.
因此,保罗·普莱彻 (Paul Pletcher) 拥有州立学院 (State College) 的一家啤酒店 Pletcher's。

Only in college can you show up with a beer your friends know is bad and still be a hero.
只有在大学里,你才能带着朋友们都知道不好喝的啤酒出现,但仍然是英雄。
Natty Light's sole virtue-- this is according to its own customers-- is that it's cheap.
Natty Light 的唯一优点——这是根据其自己的客户的说法——是价格便宜。
$16.50 a case at Pletcher's.
Pletcher's 售价 16.50 美元一箱。
No one, not a single person I talked to, liked the taste.

Nancy Updike This group of students said that at their party and tailgate, they would have the six cases of Natty Light they were buying, plus another favorite drink, Jungle Juice, which is also--
南希·厄普代克(Nancy Updike)这群学生说,在他们的聚会和尾门上,他们会买六箱 Natty Light,还有另一种最喜欢的饮料,Jungle Juice,它也是——
Oh, it's horrible.
哦,太可怕了。
It's like a lot of Hawaiian Punch, orange juice, pineapple juice, and then two handles of Vladimir Vodka, which is the worst vodka you can possibly get.
这就像很多夏威夷宾治酒、橙汁、菠萝汁,然后是两把弗拉基米尔伏特加,这是你能喝到的最糟糕的伏特加。
That's what I lived on freshman year.
这就是我大一的生活。
It's terrible.
太可怕了。
So basically I'm getting a picture of Penn State that you spend 70% of your time drinking things that you find absolutely repulsive.
所以基本上我得到了宾夕法尼亚州立大学的一张照片,你花了 70% 的时间喝你觉得绝对令人厌恶的东西。
Yeah.

When I got the business like 17, 18 years ago, we were probably 80%, 85% beer in sales over the bar.

It's completely shifted.
完全变了。
Ray Rocke Yeah.
雷·洛克 是的。
Ray says there are many reasons for this tectonic change in student drinking habits.
雷说,学生饮酒习惯发生这种结构性变化的原因有很多。
He says beer is at a disadvantage at the University generally since Penn State banned kegs at fraternities, dorms, and tailgates.
他说,自从宾夕法尼亚州立大学禁止在兄弟会、宿舍和车尾门处使用小桶啤酒以来,啤酒在大学里普遍处于不利地位。
And Ray says in his experience, promotional reps for liquors like Bacardi or Captain Morgan do a lot more on-site promotions, giving away T-shirts and such, than beer labels do.
雷表示,根据他的经验,像百加得或摩根船长这样的酒类促销代表会比啤酒品牌做更多的现场促销活动,比如赠送 T 恤等。
And the promotions work.
并且促销活动有效。
They push sales toward liquor.
他们推动酒类销售。
There's also lots of liquor now that's flavored-- more fruit punch than bourbon.
现在还有很多调味酒——水果宾治比波本威士忌更多。
And Ray says the 21 year olds he sees in his bar seem to come in already much more used to drinking liquor than beer.
雷说,他在酒吧里看到的 21 岁年轻人似乎已经更习惯喝白酒而不是啤酒。
It mixes well with soda or red bull, and it's easier to hide.
它与苏打水或红牛混合得很好,而且更容易隐藏。
You know, you get a flask of Captain Morgan, you get the bottles, the plastic bottles, I don't know if you've seen them, they're shaped like a flask.
你知道,你得到一瓶摩根船长,你得到瓶子,塑料瓶,我不知道你是否见过它们,它们的形状像一个烧瓶。
You could put one of them in your pocket.
您可以将其中之一放入口袋中。
You can't carry a case of beer in your pocket.
你不能在口袋里装一箱啤酒。
The result of more liquor and less beer, according to Ray?
根据雷的说法,这是更多白酒和更少啤酒的结果?
Before, I'd say, 15 years ago, there were more people that got drunk.
我想说的是,15年前,喝醉酒的人更多。
But now there are less people getting drunk, but of the ones that get drunk, they're a lot worse.
但现在喝醉的人少了,但喝醉的人却严重了很多。
So Ray does see students getting what he calls "stupid drunk." But most don't do that, he says.
所以雷确实看到学生们喝醉了,他称之为“愚蠢的醉酒”。但他说,大多数人并不这样做。
Like a lot of the business owners I talked to, Ray likes that the students are having a good time.
和我交谈过的许多企业主一样,雷喜欢学生们度过的愉快时光。

You go into a bar, and people have real issues.
你走进一家酒吧,人们就会遇到真正的问题。
You know, they're going through divorces, they're going through problems at work.
你知道,他们正在经历离婚,他们正在经历工作问题。
I mean, talk to any college kid, they figure they've got their life ahead of them, they're going to make big money, they're going to change the world, they're going to do everything they want.
我的意思是,与任何大学生交谈,他们认为自己的生活就在前方,他们会赚大钱,他们会改变世界,他们会做他们想做的一切。
The world hasn't kicked them in the ass yet.
世界还没有踢他们的屁股。
They haven't been beaten down, whatever you want to call it.
他们没有被打败,不管你怎么称呼它。
Will they get a little mouthier than they should?
他们会变得比应有的多嘴吗?
Sure.
当然。
But I'd rather have a student that has a little bit of an edge to him than a bunch of people that hate the world, and they're just not happy.

Officer Hanes told me he only goes after underage drinkers if they give them a reason, like fighting, carrying an open container, or being just sloppy drunk.
哈内斯警官告诉我,只有在未成年饮酒者给出理由的情况下,他才会追捕他们,比如打架、携带打开的容器,或者只是喝得酩酊大醉。
For a football weekend, it was pretty slow, which Officer Hanes chalks up to the team's relatively poor showing this fall.
对于一个足球周末来说,速度相当慢,汉斯警官将此归因于球队今年秋天的表现相对较差。
His job ebbs and flows with the success of the Nittany Lion, which puts him, as an alum and a fan, in an awkward position.

It's now at 0.252, three times the legal limit at which you can drive a car.
现在为 0.252,是驾驶汽车的法定限制的三倍。
The head of the emergency department told me that it's a level that normal drinkers can't even usually get to because they'd throw up, fall asleep first.
急诊科主任告诉我,这是普通饮酒者通常无法达到的水平,因为他们会先呕吐,然后睡着。
What's interesting, if you ask Penn State administrators about what they're doing to deal with all the student drinking, they're not defensive.
有趣的是,如果你问宾夕法尼亚州立大学的管理人员他们正在采取什么措施来处理所有学生饮酒的问题,他们并不会采取防御措施。
I met the head of University Relations with the school, the guy who's responsible for making the school look good to the public, and he was right upfront about it.
我会见了学校与大学关系的负责人,他负责让学校在公众面前看起来良好,他对此很坦率。
Yeah, he said, drinking is a terrible problem, and we have tried everything we can think of to fix it, twice.

Sarah Koenig explains why this problem is just so hard for university administrators to fix.
莎拉·科尼格 (Sarah Koenig) 解释了为什么这个问题对于大学管理者来说如此难以解决。
The first university president in the country to take on excessive drinking in a very public way was Graham Spanier when he arrived at Penn State 15 years ago.
格雷厄姆·斯潘尼尔 (Graham Spanier) 15 年前来到宾夕法尼亚州立大学,是美国第一位以非常公开的方式处理过度饮酒问题的大学校长。
At a time when most schools didn't want to talk about it, he was relentless.
当大多数学校都不愿意谈论这件事的时候,他却毫不留情。
Here he is in his 1998 State of the University speech.
这是他在 1998 年发表的大学状况演讲。
To put it succinctly, let me say to all high school students.
简而言之,我想对所有高中生说。
If you are interested in Penn State because of the attraction of binge drinking, please go somewhere else.
如果您因为酗酒的吸引力而对宾夕法尼亚州立大学感兴趣,请去其他地方。

他遭到了校友、大学受托人、甚至当地美国公民自由联盟的反对,他们都表示这对大学校长来说不是问题。
After 1998, he stopped hammering the topic so publicly, he says, in favor of working on it more behind the scenes.
他说,1998 年之后,他不再如此公开地讨论这个话题,而是转而在幕后进行更多的研究。
Ask the people behind the scenes today how it's going, and they'll tell you they're losing ground.
今天问问幕后的人进展如何,他们会告诉你他们正在节节败退。
Linda Lasalle is the administrator in charge of educating Penn State students about the dangers of alcohol.
琳达·拉萨尔 (Linda Lasalle) 是负责对宾夕法尼亚州立大学学生进行酒精危害教育的行政人员。
Some of her work happens in the classroom.
她的一些工作发生在课堂上。
And I talk about how our data shows that most of our students actually have five or fewer when they drink.
我会谈到我们的数据如何显示我们大多数学生在喝酒时实际上喝了五杯或更少。
Or we had data they showed that a few years back.
或者我们有几年前他们展示的数据。
And students would laugh at me!
学生们会嘲笑我!
They would say, oh, you know, none of my friends drink that little.
他们会说,哦,你知道,我的朋友都没有喝那么少。
We're all drinking eight, nine, ten.
我们都喝了八杯、九杯、十杯。
So this higher level of consumption to them is the norm.
所以这种较高的消费水平对他们来说是常态。
For ten years, Linda Lasalle's office has taught kids about blood alcohol levels and alcohol poisoning.
十年来,琳达·拉萨尔的办公室一直在向孩子们传授血液酒精含量和酒精中毒的知识。

No real success.
没有真正的成功。
We're seeing some tremendous knowledge gains from students who participate in the program.
我们看到参与该计划的学生获得了巨大的知识收获。
Our preliminary data shows that there's no significant behavior change, however.
然而,我们的初步数据显示,行为并没有发生重大变化。
So armed with all these facts about what alcohol can do to you, students here seem to drink just as much as they always did.
有了关于酒精对你的影响的所有这些事实,这里的学生似乎和往常一样喝酒。
It does.
确实如此。
It feels very defeating.
感觉很挫败。
I have very conflicting feelings about it.
我对此有非常矛盾的感觉。
Because I feel like there's not very much we can do, that there are so many things that contribute to this problem that are out of our control.
因为我觉得我们无能为力,有很多因素导致了这个问题,而这些都是我们无法控制的。
And you know, at the same time, I also feel like I want to be able to do something.
你知道,与此同时,我也觉得我希望能够做点什么。
No college student should ever die because they simply had too much to drink.
任何大学生都不应该因为喝太多而死去。
So I guess I don't have a good answer.
所以我想我没有一个好的答案。
I don't know what would really make a difference, especially in this campus.
我不知道什么会真正产生影响,尤其是在这个校园里。
Is that hard for you to say, as someone who has your job?
作为一个有你工作的人,这对你来说很难吗?
This worst case scenario, a student dying, was on everyone's mind this fall, because it happened in September, just a month after school started.
今年秋天,每个人都在担心这种最糟糕的情况,即一名学生的死亡,因为它发生在九月份,开学后仅一个月。
Maintenance workers found the body of Joe Dado at the bottom of an outdoor stairwell.
维修人员在室外楼梯井底部发现了乔·达多的尸体。
Dado had been missing for a couple of days after he left a frat party alone at 3:30 in the morning.
凌晨 3:30,Dado 独自离开兄弟会聚会,此后他已经失踪了几天。
It seems he'd been climbing on top of a wall between two classroom buildings and fallen on his head.
看起来他是爬到两栋教学楼之间的墙顶上然后头朝下摔倒的。
He was a freshman, just 18 years old.
他是一名一年级新生,年仅18岁。
At other schools, the administration has sometimes used these sorts of deaths to push for change.
在其他学校,政府有时会利用此类死亡来推动变革。
In 2004, after a 19 year old sophomore at Colorado State named Samantha Spady was found dead of alcohol poisoning at the Sigma Pi frat house.
2004 年,科罗拉多州立大学一名 19 岁的大二学生萨曼莎·斯帕迪 (Samantha Spady) 被发现死于 Sigma Pi 兄弟会房屋内,死于酒精中毒。
The frat house was shut down, and all other fraternities banned alcohol.
兄弟会被关闭,所有其他兄弟会都禁止饮酒。
Alcohol sales were banned inside the football stadium, and her parents started a foundation in her name.
足球场内禁止销售酒精饮料,她的父母以她的名义成立了一个基金会。
MIT, Indiana University, University of Virginia all reacted with sweeping changes after alcohol deaths.
麻省理工学院、印第安纳大学、弗吉尼亚大学在酒精死亡后都做出了彻底的改变。
Here, the immediate reaction to Dado's death from senior administration was remarkable for its gentleness.
在这里,高级政府对达多去世的立即反应因其温和而引人注目。
Nobody hollered at the students to quit drinking so much.
没有人大声喊叫学生们戒酒。
Rather, the message was, if you're going to get plastered, do it more responsibility.
相反,传达的信息是,如果你要陷入困境,那就承担更多责任。
Graham Spanier issued a statement telling students to, quote, "Remember our commitment to one another's safety." Damon Simms, vice president of Student Affairs, told students at a meeting that he hoped the entire student body would double their efforts in watching out for each other.
格雷厄姆·斯潘尼尔发表了一份声明,告诉学生们“记住我们对彼此安全的承诺。”学生事务副校长达蒙·西姆斯(Damon Simms)在一次会议上告诉学生们,他希望整个学生团体加倍努力,互相照顾。
Maybe they figured this message had a better chance of sticking, and it did stick.
也许他们认为这条信息更有可能被记住,而且它确实被记住了。
The lesson students have taken is not that Dado drank too much, but that he would be alive today if only he hadn't been alone.
学生们得到的教训不是Dado喝了太多酒,而是如果他不是孤身一人的话,他今天就能活着。
My colleague Lisa Pollak talked to freshmen at the student union here.
我的同事丽莎·波拉克在这里的学生会与新生进行了交谈。
We've become more responsible.
我们变得更加负责任。
Nobody goes home alone anymore.
没有人再独自回家了。
We call each other, make sure we're doing OK.
我们互相打电话,确保一切顺利。
My friends, we all try to stay together a lot more, and don't leave anybody out by themselves late at night.
我的朋友们,我们都尽量多呆在一起,不要在深夜把任何人留在外面。
Like even if they say they're fine, you're like, no. You're not fine.
就像即使他们说他们很好,你也会说,不。你不太好。
OK.
好的。
This might sound like a really silly question, but did any of you think to say, well, why don't we just not drink anymore?
这听起来可能是一个非常愚蠢的问题,但是你们中有人想过说,好吧,我们为什么不再喝酒了呢?
It seems to be the perennial lesson of these accidents.
这似乎是这些事故的长期教训。
After a drunk girl fell from a sixth story window in 1997, this was the story in the local newspaper.
1997年,一名醉酒女孩从六楼窗户坠落后,当地报纸刊登了这样的报道。
Quote, "The death of a Penn State student at a party a week ago may prompt partygoers to keep a closer eye on each other's safety, students say.
引用:“学生们说,一周前宾夕法尼亚州立大学一名学生在一次聚会上死亡,这可能会促使参加聚会的人更加密切地关注彼此的安全。
But, they add, the accident probably won't change their drinking behavior." Penn state students also fell to their deaths in 1993, 1987, 1984, 1983.
但是,他们补充说,这次事故可能不会改变他们的饮酒行为。”宾夕法尼亚州立大学的学生也曾在1993年、1987年、1984年、1983年发生过坠楼身亡事件。
The averageness of what killed freshman Joe Dado is exactly why this is such a challenge for administrators.
杀死新生 Joe Dado 的凶手的平均性正是这对管理人员来说是一个挑战的原因。
To Penn State students, the amount Dado drank that night is completely normal.
对于宾夕法尼亚州立大学的学生来说,Dado 那天晚上喝的酒量是完全正常的。
After questioning his friends, police reported that Dado drank several shots of vodka and mixed drinks in his dorm, the whole pregaming thing, and then got on the shuttle bus with his friends.
在询问了他的朋友后,警方报告说,Dado 在宿舍里喝了几杯伏特加和混合饮料,整个比赛前的事情,然后和他的朋友一起上了班车。
They went to a frat called ATO, played beer pong, drank four or five cans of Natural Light each.
他们去了一个叫 ATO 的兄弟会,打啤酒乒乓球,每人喝了四五罐自然光啤酒。
Then they went to Fiji, another frat, where Dado did a couple shots of whiskey.
然后他们去了斐济,另一个兄弟会,Dado 在那里喝了几杯威士忌。
By the end of it, his blood alcohol level was high, but not crazy high.
到最后,他的血液酒精含量很高,但还没有高到疯狂。
It was a third less than the average for kids brought to the emergency room for alcohol.
这比被带到急诊室喝酒的孩子的平均水平低三分之一。
It was just a normal night.
这只是一个平常的夜晚。
It wasn't like overindulgence.
这并不像过度放纵。
It wasn't like a ridiculous, wild party.
这不像是一场荒唐、疯狂的派对。
The last person to talk to Dado that night was Jack Townsend, a 21 year old junior.
那天晚上最后一个和 Dado 说话的是 Jack Townsend,一名 21 岁的大三学生。
He gave Dado those shots of whiskey at Fiji, and he's been criminally charged with providing alcohol to a minor, along with the frat.
他在斐济给了 Dado 几杯威士忌,并因与兄弟会一起向未成年人提供酒精而受到刑事指控。
Townsend was a friend of Dado's.
汤森是达多的朋友。
He played soccer with him in high school.
高中时他和他一起踢足球。
He took one of his sisters to the prom.
他带他的一个姐妹去参加舞会。
He told producer Lisa Pollak that when he looks back at that night, it's hard for them to reconcile that something so ordinary led to something so terrible.
他告诉制片人丽莎·波拉克,当他回顾那天晚上时,他们很难接受如此平凡的事情导致了如此可怕的事情。
So I thought, you know, nothing of it that night.
所以我想,你知道,那天晚上没什么。
You know, it's just a friendly drink.
你知道,这只是一种友好的饮料。
Based on the things I heard from the entire timeline of that night, I mean, it reminded me of my freshman days.
根据我从那天晚上的整个时间线中听到的事情,我的意思是,它让我想起了我的大一时光。
The same thing, you know?
同样的事情,你知道吗?
And that you drank even before you go out?
你甚至在出去之前就喝酒了?
Yeah, yeah.
是啊是啊。
I mean, none of that was shocking to me.
我的意思是,这些都没有让我感到震惊。
None of that was really surprising to me.
这些对我来说并不令人惊讶。
It was typical weekend night for a freshman.
对于新生来说,这是一个典型的周末夜晚。
I have thought about how, like, how didn't I realize how dangerous some of this stuff could have been before it happened.
我曾想过,在事情发生之前,我怎么没有意识到其中的一些事情可能有多危险。
Because it hadn't really struck you before?
因为它之前并没有真正打动你?
Yeah.
是的。
Because nothing ever really bad ever came from it until now.
因为到目前为止,还没有发生过真正糟糕的事情。
Joe Dado's case fits neatly into a variety of depressing data sets.
乔·达多的案例恰好符合各种令人沮丧的数据集。
Researchers know, for instance, that the bingiest of the binge drinkers are white male freshmen, and even if he wasn't binging, there's the fact that most bad things happened early on in the school year.
例如,研究人员知道,最酗酒的人是白人男性新生,即使他没有酗酒,事实上大多数糟糕的事情都发生在学年初期。
The alcohol ER admissions here for September are much higher than for the rest of the year, for instance.
例如,这里 9 月份的酒精急诊入院人数比今年剩余时间要高得多。
He drank Vladimir vodka that night, the most widely sold liquor in State College, and was hanging out with fraternity members, who tend to drink more than non-Greek students.
那天晚上,他喝了弗拉基米尔伏特加,这是州立学院最畅销的酒,并与兄弟会成员一起闲逛,这些成员往往比非希腊学生喝得更多。
Bob Saltz, a senior research scientist at the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, says here's what's counterintuitive about managing drinking on college campuses and why so few are having success.
太平洋研究与评估研究所的高级研究科学家鲍勃·萨尔茨 (Bob Saltz) 表示,在大学校园内管理饮酒行为是违反直觉的,也是为什么很少有人取得成功的原因。
He says that while your heaviest drinkers are of course at the highest risk of getting hurt or hurting somebody else, there aren't that many of them.
他说,虽然酗酒者受伤或伤害他人的风险当然最高,但这样的人并不多。
So you really also need to be worrying about the light and moderate drinkers, who vastly outnumber the heavy drinkers.
因此,您确实还需要担心轻度和中度饮酒者,他们的数量远远多于重度饮酒者。
Kids like Joe Dado, who might only overdo it once in a while.
像乔·达多这样的孩子,偶尔可能会做得太过分。
Even though at any given time, most of the students are going to have an easy time of it, no one's going to get hurt, we just don't know who it is who's going to get hurt over a large population.
尽管在任何特定时间,大多数学生都会过得很轻松,没有人会受伤,但我们只是不知道谁会在大量人口中受伤。
But the concern many administrators have, and some students as well, is that it seems somehow wrong to impose a strategy that's universal, because again, the holdover concept that we really should be only focusing on the heaviest drinkers.
但许多管理人员以及一些学生担心的是,强加一种通用的策略似乎在某种程度上是错误的,因为我们实际上应该只关注最酗酒者的保留概念。
Saltz's strategy for reducing risk to the biggest population of students is so simple that I missed it the first time he said it.
萨尔茨降低最大学生群体风险的策略非常简单,以至于我在他第一次说的时候就错过了。
You reduce risk by limiting kids' access to alcohol.
您可以通过限制孩子接触酒精来降低风险。
The less alcohol is available, the less kids drink.
酒精越少,孩子们喝的就越少。
The less they drink, the fewer bad things happen.
他们喝得越少,坏事发生的就越少。
In practice, what this means is a police crackdown, and just as importantly, the perception of one.
实际上,这意味着警方的镇压,同样重要的是,这意味着人们的看法。
The problem with this strategy has been that there was hardly any campus-wide research to back it up, until now.
这一策略的问题在于,到目前为止,几乎没有任何全校范围的研究来支持它。
Saltz is about to publish the results of an NIH-funded study he did at 14 California campuses.
Saltz 即将公布他在 14 个加州分校进行的一项由 NIH 资助的研究结果。
At half of them, cops went on party patrols, broke up large off-campus parties.
其中一半的警察进行派对巡逻,驱散大型校外派对。
They stepped up DUI enforcement and enforced laws against sales to minors at bars.
他们加强了酒后驾车执法力度,并执行了禁止在酒吧向未成年人出售商品的法律。
And most important, they heavily publicized this stepped-up enforcement to students so they would start self-policing, rather than risk getting busted.
最重要的是,他们向学生大力宣传了这一加强的执法力度,以便他们开始自我监管,而不是冒着被抓的风险。
By the end of the study, Saltz found that fewer kids were getting drunk.
研究结束时,萨尔茨发现喝醉的孩子越来越少。
The campuses where they cracked down reported 6,000 fewer drunk students coming from off-campus parties, and 4,000 fewer coming from bars.
据他们打击的校园报告,来自校外聚会的醉酒学生减少了 6,000 人,来自酒吧的醉酒学生减少了 4,000 人。
And we were able to show that increased controls on off-campus drinking did not lead to any displacement of those problems somewhere else, which is what people assume, is that if you do a better job at off-campus parties, that students will just go to a park, or back to the dorms, or some other place, and that the level of problems will stay the same.
我们能够证明,加强对校外饮酒的控制并不会导致这些问题转移到其他地方,这就是人们的假设,如果你在校外聚会上做得更好,学生们就会去公园,或者回到宿舍,或者其他地方,而问题的程度将保持不变。
And I was happy to see that that did not happen in our case.
我很高兴看到这种情况在我们的案例中没有发生。
Saltz says sprawling university bureaucracies usually aren't well-suited to this kind of tough guy strategy.
萨尔茨说,庞大的大学官僚机构通常不太适合这种硬汉策略。
For one thing, they're run by educators, who tend to think they can simply teach kids to drink less.
一方面,他们是由教育工作者经营的,他们倾向于认为他们可以简单地教孩子们少喝酒。
But when I asked him if there's any university out there that's having real, on-the-ground, sustained success, he immediately says yes.
但当我问他是否有任何一所大学取得了真正的、实地的、持续的成功时,他立即说是的。
University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
内布拉斯加大学林肯分校。
Their drinking reduction stats are the envy of the student affairs world.
他们减少饮酒的统计数据令学生事务界羡慕不已。
Starting in 1998, the school teamed up with the city of Lincoln and declared an all-out war on out of control drinking-- a data-driven, goal-oriented war.
从1998年开始,学校与林肯市合作,向酗酒失控发起全面战争——一场数据驱动、目标导向的战争。
Not only did they do the kind of police crackdown Saltz advocates, they attacked the problem from every possible angle, enlisting of bar owners, state legislators, liberal arts students, business students, high school principals.
他们不仅像警察镇压萨尔茨的支持者那样,还从各个可能的角度攻击这个问题,招募了酒吧老板、州立法者、文科学生、商科学生、高中校长。
They lobbied to digitize Nebraska's driver's license to stop rampant fake IDs.
他们游说将内布拉斯加州的驾驶执照数字化,以阻止假身份证的猖獗。
They tried to knock down the average number of drinks on a student's 21st birthday from 14 to 7.
他们试图将学生 21 岁生日那天的平均饮酒次数从 14 杯减少到 7 杯。
Linda Major, Assistant to the Vice Chancellor at UNL, was the general in this war from the beginning.
琳达·梅杰(Linda Major),内布拉斯加州大学副校长助理,从一开始就是这场战争的将军。
She says breaking up wild parties in residential neighborhoods was one of the most controversial things they did early on.
她说,驱散居民区的疯狂派对是他们早期所做的最具争议的事情之一。
Also, one of the most effective.
而且,也是最有效的之一。
And over the course of time, the wild party patrol really went out very few weekends, but people believed that it could happen any weekend, and so behavior was naturally curbed.
而且随着时间的推移,野党巡逻确实很少周末出去,但人们相信任何周末都可能发生,所以行为自然就受到了遏制。
Major sensed the place felt different, and every statistical indicator backed up that feeling.
梅杰感觉到这个地方感觉不同了,每一项统计指标都支持这种感觉。
There were far fewer neighbor complaints about parties.
邻居对聚会的抱怨要少得多。
Students reported studying more, getting more sleep.
学生们表示学习更多,睡眠更多。
Fewer people dropped out, and there were fewer reports of unwanted sex or driving drunk.
辍学的人越来越少,关于不正当性行为或酒后驾车的报道也越来越少。
Way more freshmen were abstaining from alcohol.
更多的新生开始戒酒。
And binge drinking numbers sank from 63% of students in 1997 down to 42% in 2007.
酗酒的学生人数从 1997 年的 63% 下降到 2007 年的 42%。
The frustration for Penn State is that it follows the same research as UNL, and does a lot of the same things.
宾夕法尼亚州立大学令人沮丧的是,它遵循与内布拉斯加州大学相同的研究,并且做了很多相同的事情。
It has as many alcohol programs and interventions as any university in the country.
它的酒精课程和干预措施与该国任何一所大学一样多。
But one researcher told me that the problem is almost no colleges, Penn State included, properly evaluate what they're doing, so they really don't know what works and what doesn't.
但一位研究人员告诉我,问题在于几乎没有大学,包括宾夕法尼亚州立大学,正确评估他们正在做的事情,所以他们真的不知道什么有效,什么无效。
This work is tricky.
这项工作很棘手。
There's so many variables that just because something works at one school doesn't mean it'll work the same way someplace else.
变量太多,仅仅因为某件事在一所学校有效并不意味着在其他学校也同样有效。
Still, it's clear Penn State has not done what UNL did-- joined with the town and declared total war.
尽管如此,很明显宾夕法尼亚州立大学并没有像内布拉斯加州大学所做的那样——与该镇联合并宣布全面战争。
At least not recently.
至少最近不是。
There's no shortage of complaints about the university's efforts.
人们对大学的努力不乏抱怨。
Why won't it ban alcohol from the dorms, or take on the widespread underage drinking, or punish students more harshly, expel them, even, when they break the law?
为什么不禁止宿舍内饮酒,或者解决普遍存在的未成年人饮酒问题,或者更严厉地惩罚学生,甚至在学生违法时将其开除?
We need to do things differently.
我们需要以不同的方式做事。
Everything that once upon a time was not open to reconsideration needs to be open to reconsideration.
一切曾经不值得重新考虑的事情都需要重新考虑。
Luckily, the one person at Penn State agitating for a complete overhaul of the University's drinking reduction strategy happens to be the guy in charge of them-- Damon Simms.
幸运的是,宾夕法尼亚州立大学提倡彻底改革大学减少饮酒策略的人恰好是他们的负责人——达蒙·西姆斯(Damon Simms)。
He's the new vice president for Student Affairs, and he's not messing around.
他是新任学生事务副校长,他可没闲着。
When he rattled off a list of recent meetings he's had on the topic, it was almost comical in its scope.
当他滔滔不绝地列出他最近就该主题举行的会议的清单时,其范围几乎是滑稽的。
The town manager, the editor of the local newspaper, the borough council, student government, town and university police, faculty, fraternity leaders, on and on.
镇经理、当地报纸的编辑、区议会、学生会、镇和大学警察、教师、兄弟会领袖等等。
Simms thinks being named number one party school and the death of Joe Dado have pushed the issue to some kind of tipping point, and he plans to capitalize on it.
西姆斯认为,被评为第一派对学校和乔·达多的去世已经将这个问题推向了某种临界点,他计划利用这一点。
He's working on a list of ideas.
他正在制定一份想法清单。
When we met, it was 72 items long.
当我们见面时,它有 72 项长。
And there are some sacred cows that need to be reconsidered, too.
还有一些神圣的事情也需要重新考虑。
He says that includes grade inflation, troublesome fraternities, and out-of-control tailgating.
他说,这包括分数膨胀、麻烦的兄弟会和失控的尾随行为。
Simms will be proposing a bunch of new initiatives early next September, including new sanctions for students who break alcohol laws.
西姆斯将于明年九月初提出一系列新举措,包括对违反酒精法的学生实施新的制裁。
Already fraternities have new rules.
兄弟会已经有了新的规则。
No more Wednesday night parties.
周三晚上不再有聚会。
On other nights, photo ID required for entry, and professional bouncers at the door.
在其他晚上,进入时需要出示带照片的身份证件,门口还有专业保镖。
But what you hear all the time around here, off the record, from local residents, from faculty, from other administrators, is that Spanier really can't, or won't, do anything more draconian about the drinking problem here.
但你在这里经常从当地居民、教职人员和其他管理人员那里听到的私下消息是,西班牙人确实不能或不会对这里的饮酒问题采取更严厉的措施。
Make fraternities dry, say, or curb tailgating.
例如,让兄弟会变得干燥,或者遏制尾随行为。
Because politically, he simply cannot risk alienating those secret cows Simms is talking about.
因为从政治上讲,他根本不能冒险疏远西姆斯所说的那些秘密牛。
Especially alumni and athletics, meaning football, which brings in enormous money.
尤其是校友和田径运动,即足球,可以带来巨额收入。
Tens of thousands of alumni come to football games, rent skyboxes-- the only places in the stadium where you can drink, by the way.
数以万计的校友来到这里观看足球比赛,租用空中包厢——顺便说一句,这是体育场里唯一可以喝酒的地方。
They arrange their lives around the season.
他们根据季节安排自己的生活。
It's a big part of why they give money to the school.
这是他们向学校捐款的一个重要原因。
Last year, alums and other donors gave $182 million.
去年,校友和其他捐助者捐赠了 1.82 亿美元。
I asked Spanier if there was something he needed to be careful about here in terms of the connection between football and donors and booze.
我问斯潘尼尔,在足球与捐助者和酒类之间的联系方面,是否有什么需要注意的地方。
No. I don't buy that at all.
不,我根本不相信这一点。
That's just speculation that you hear from people like, oh, that must be part of the issue.
这只是你从人们那里听到的猜测,哦,这一定是问题的一部分。
They would never go after the alumni.
他们永远不会去追捕校友。
The fact is, what happens with six or seven home games is not the heart of this issue here.
事实上,六七场主场比赛的结果并不是这个问题的核心。
We're talking about weekend in, weekend out, every day of the week, throughout the year kind of issues.
我们谈论的是周末、周末、一周中的每一天、全年的各种问题。
When this comes up, it's sort of like, well, someone will say, why don't they just make tailgating dry, you know, no alcohol on university property?
当这个问题出现时,有点像,好吧,有人会说,为什么他们不干脆让车尾聚会变得干燥,你知道,大学财产上禁止饮酒?
Is that kind of thing ever even brought up as like a, we just want to signal a culture change?
这种事情是否曾经被提出过,比如我们只是想发出文化变革的信号?
We're just going to make a big bold move and say, we're going to become a different kind of school now?
我们只是要做出一个大胆的举动,然后说,我们现在要成为一所不同类型的学校吗?
Is that ever on the table?
这曾经摆在桌面上吗?
No, I don't think so.
不,我不这么认为。
I can't envision telling alumni of legal age that they can't drink on a football weekend, and seeing that that's going to change the problem of alcohol consumption among underage students on college campuses.
我无法想象告诉达到法定年龄的校友他们不能在足球周末喝酒,并看到这将改变大学校园未成年学生的饮酒问题。
I don't think those two things are really tied together.
我不认为这两件事真的联系在一起。
One bright spot Spanier sees is that there's been a shift at Penn State since he started talking about this 15 years ago.
Spanier 看到的一个亮点是,自从 15 年前他开始谈论这一问题以来,宾夕法尼亚州立大学发生了转变。
Now for the first time academic deans and faculty leaders and student leaders are wanting to talk about this, saying they want to help.
现在,学术院长、教师领导和学生领袖第一次想要谈论这个问题,并表示他们想提供帮助。
That is a sea change from what we saw in an earlier era.
与我们在早期时代看到的情况相比,这是一个巨大的变化。

Joe Dado's death, he said, won't have any meaning to next year's freshmen.
他说,乔·达多的去世对明年的新生没有任何意义。
That's what makes universities like any other enterprise.
这就是大学与其他企业一样的原因。
Every year, the student body turns over by the thousands, so every year, he and his staff have to start all over again.
