Yeah, I wear a normal T-shirt when I go out so that no one can identify I am going to protest.

I don't understand.
我不明白。
How do you transform yourself?

How different are you going to work with that foundation?

No, it looks like you're not going to protest.

Because girls who are going to protest, they barely do makeup.
因为要抗议的女孩几乎不化妆。
But if girl is doing makeup, they're probably meeting someone.
但如果女孩在化妆,她们很可能正在遇见某人。
And so I bring this one.

Yeah, it's very typical Hong Kong girl's room.
是的,这是非常典型的香港女孩的房间。
For a Hong Kong protester to live at home with her mom and dad, that is not unusual in any way.
对于一名香港抗议者来说,与父母一起住在家里,这无论如何都不罕见。
If you know anything about the demonstrations that have overtaken Hong Kong since June, you know it's mostly young people in the city where rents are high.
如果你了解自六月以来席卷香港的示威活动,你就会知道,在这座租金高昂的城市里,抗议活动主要是年轻人。
Jennifer is 22 and just graduated college.
詹妮弗今年 22 岁,刚刚大学毕业。
She's working her first entry-level job at a public relations firm.
她正在一家公关公司做她的第一份初级工作。
I came to Hong Kong because there were things about the protests that I really did not understand, and we'll get to that.
我来香港是因为关于抗议的一些事情我真的不明白,我们会解决的。
But one of the things that fascinated me once I arrived was learning what a routine the protests have become and what that was like for the people in them.
但当我到达后,让我着迷的一件事是了解抗议活动已经成为一种常态,以及抗议活动中的人们的感受。
This was mid-September, the 13th week of protests for Jennifer.
这是 9 月中旬,詹妮弗的抗议活动已进入第 13 周。
I'm not really worried because it's just like another day.
我并不担心,因为这就像又是一天。
I think I will meet up with two friends of mine.
我想我会和我的两个朋友见面。
But I'm not sure if I am going to because they are couples so I don't want to be-- [LAUGHS] they are couple, so I don't want to be-- they always kiss next to me.
但我不确定我是否会这样做,因为他们是情侣,所以我不想——[笑]他们是情侣,所以我不想——他们总是在我旁边接吻。
So, mm, yeah.
所以,嗯,是的。
[SPEAKING CHINESE] Ira Glass Speak of the devil, it's her friend, the one who kisses your boyfriend at demonstrations.
[说中文] Ira Glass 说到魔鬼,就是她的朋友,就是在示威中亲吻你男朋友的那个人。
And she's calling with bad news.
她打电话来告诉我们坏消息。
She was going to bring gas masks to the rally today.
她本来打算带防毒面具去参加今天的集会。
They'd order them from Amazon, Jennifer thinks.
詹妮弗认为,他们会从亚马逊订购。
But now she's learned that bringing gas masks would be a bad idea.
但现在她知道带防毒面具是个坏主意。
Because at the subway station--
因为在地铁站——
Police are searching everybody, including men, little ones, and young people like us.
警察正在搜查所有人,包括男人、小孩和像我们这样的年轻人。
They're sharing their bags.
他们正在分享他们的行李。
And if they have any equipment with them like the gas mask, eye mask, whatever, they just arrest them, yeah.
如果他们身上有任何装备,比如防毒面具、眼罩等等,他们就会逮捕他们,是的。
So my friend just asked me if it is a must for me to get the gas mask, so I told her that no, it is not a must.
所以我的朋友只是问我是否必须得到防毒面具,所以我告诉她不,不是必须的。
I don't want to risk my friend getting searched.
我不想冒我朋友被搜查的风险。
So she told the other friend not to come out with equipment.
所以她告诉另一个朋友不要带装备出来。
Not ideal, but she's gone without gas masks before.
不太理想,但她之前就没有戴过防毒面具。
Jennifer grabs her knapsack, says bye to her mom, who tells her to come home early, a request that will be totally ignored.
詹妮弗抓起背包,向妈妈道别,妈妈告诉她早点回家,但这个要求却被完全忽略了。
And we head outside.
我们走到外面。
But then she turns and runs back.
但随后她转身跑回来。
What did you forget?
你忘记了什么?
Jennifer Umbrella.
詹妮弗雨伞。
It is very important to have umbrella.
带伞非常重要。
Yeah, it is not for the rain.
是的,这不是为了下雨。
It is for tear gas and bullets.
它是用于催泪瓦斯和子弹的。
Rubber bullets, that is.
橡皮子弹,就是这样。
Ira Glass It works on bullets?
Ira Glass 对子弹有效吗?
Yes.
是的。
Frankly, yes.
坦白说,是的。
No, no, I don't understand why, but always, those bullets, they slip off along the umbrella edge.
不,不,我不明白为什么,但那些子弹总是沿着伞边滑落。
So they just-- they don't get through the umbrella.
所以他们只是——他们没有穿过雨伞。
Also, protesters hide behind a wall of umbrellas when they're painting graffiti or dismantling a closed-circuit TV camera on the street, doing anything else they don't want the police to see.
此外,抗议者在街上涂鸦或拆除闭路电视摄像机时会躲在雨伞墙后面,做任何他们不想让警察看到的事情。
As she and I and Emanuele head to the bus stop, we notice other young people carrying full-sized umbrellas on this totally sunny day.
当我和她以及伊曼纽尔前往公交车站时,我们注意到其他年轻人在这个阳光明媚的日子里拿着全尺寸的雨伞。
Walking over here to the bus, are you looking around to see if-- other people you think are going to protest?
走到这里坐公交车时,你是否环顾四周,看看是否有其他你认为会抗议的人?
Yeah, you always want to know how many people are around you, right?
是的,你总是想知道你周围有多少人,对吗?
Yeah.
是的。
OK, and so there's some young people on our left, two people standing next to you.
好的,我们左边有一些年轻人,两个人站在你旁边。
I think the girl probably is not because she brings a very small bag.
我想这个女孩可能不是因为她带了一个很小的包。
But the tall guy, the tall guy in white shirt.
但是那个高个子,那个穿白衬衫的高个子。
Mm-hmm.
嗯嗯。
Jennifer Yeah, and then the couple behind you, probably.
詹妮弗 是的,然后可能是你身后的那对夫妇。
It's like, are you on my side?
就像,你站在我这边吗?
Are you one of us?
你是我们中的一员吗?
Once you're at the protest, everybody's in a mass so you don't really know who's on your team.
一旦你参加抗议活动,每个人都会聚集在一起,所以你真的不知道你的团队中有谁。
Here in the neighborhood, it's kind of exciting to wonder who your allies might be.
在附近,想知道谁可能是你的盟友是一件令人兴奋的事情。
The protests in Hong Kong have been international news for months, kicked off by people's fears that mainland China is threatening some very basic things about their city and their lives.
几个月来,香港的抗议活动一直成为国际新闻,起因是人们担心中国大陆正在威胁他们的城市和生活的一些非常基本的事情。
But for all the coverage, here at our show, we felt like we weren't seeing many stories where we got to know anybody very well-- who they were, what exactly they expected was going to come out of the protests, given China's intransigence.
但对于所有的报道,在我们的节目中,我们觉得我们没有看到很多我们非常了解任何人的故事——他们是谁,考虑到中国的顽固态度,他们到底期望抗议活动会产生什么结果。
Three of us arrived in Hong Kong in mid-September, me and Emanuele and a co-worker, Diane Wu.
我们三个人于九月中旬抵达香港,我和 Emanuele 以及同事 Diane Wu。
I have to say, one of the things that was fascinating, given the ugly state of democracy here in the United States lately, was to be among so many young people who believe so intensely in democratic ideals and yearn so deeply for the basics, like normal elections and free speech and free assembly.
我不得不说,考虑到美国最近丑陋的民主状况,令人着迷的事情之一就是成为如此强烈地相信民主理想并如此渴望基本要素的年轻人之一,比如正常的选举、言论自由和集会自由。
Though, just in the last few weeks since we got to Hong Kong, we've watched the situation change dramatically.
不过,就在我们到达香港的最后几周内,我们看到情况发生了巨大变化。
It's gotten much more violent, harsh new measures by the government.
政府采取了更加暴力、严厉的新措施。
This hour, we have the story of the change that we witnessed and what we think it might mean.
这一小时,我们将讲述我们所目睹的变化以及我们认为它可能意味着什么。
If you haven't been following this story at all-- maybe you've been sitting this one out-- we're going to catch you up on what you need to know.
如果您根本没有关注这个故事——也许您一直在等待这个故事——我们将告诉您您需要了解的内容。
We have all sorts of people from all sides of this that we want you to meet.
我们希望您认识来自各个方面的各种各样的人。
From WBEZ Chicago, it's This American Life.
来自芝加哥 WBEZ 的《This American Life》。
This week, overseas with a lot of people who have some very American values.
本周,在海外有很多具有美国价值观的人。
Stay with us.
留在我们身边。
Act One, The Cursed Generation.
第一幕,被诅咒的一代。
OK, so what politicized thousands and thousands of people this much, that they've dropped their normal lives, and they're coming out every single weekend to protest?
好吧,那么是什么让成千上万的人如此政治化,他们放弃了正常的生活,每个周末都出来抗议?
It's now been 18 straight weeks.
现在已经连续 18 周了。
Take Jennifer, for instance.
以詹妮弗为例。
She's somebody who worked at Abercrombie and Fitch during college.
她大学期间曾在 Abercrombie and Fitch 工作。
She told me on the bus to protest that's why her English is so good.
她在公共汽车上告诉我抗议,这就是为什么她的英语这么好。
She's somebody who wanted to be a singer.
她是一个想成为一名歌手的人。
Actually got a chance to go pro when she was 16, but her mom quashed that, saying it was too much of a long shot and she should get an education and get a normal job.
事实上,她 16 岁时就有机会成为职业选手,但她妈妈否决了这个机会,说这希望渺茫,她应该接受教育并找到一份正常的工作。
Jennifer was actually very surprised when I informed her that an American parent might have said the same exact thing.
当我告诉詹妮弗,一位美国家长可能也说过同样的话时,她实际上感到非常惊讶。
Oh, I thought American dreams can be true, something like that, because I watched Glee.
哦,我认为美国梦可以是真实的,类似的事情,因为我看了《欢乐合唱团》。
So how did this Glee-watching, internet-savvy college grad in her first office job, how did she end up protesting in the street every weekend with tens or-- I don't know-- maybe it's hundreds of thousands of her peers?
那么,这位观看《欢乐合唱团》、精通互联网的大学毕业生是如何在她的第一份办公室工作中度过的,她是如何每个周末都在街上与数十或——我不知道——也许是数十万她的同龄人一起抗议的呢?
Well, for starters, Jennifer's 22, which means she's part of a special generation in Hong Kong.
首先,詹妮弗今年 22 岁,这意味着她属于香港特殊的一代。
I'm born in Hong Kong in 1997, right before the handover.
我1997年出生在香港,就在回归之前。
And here's a protester we're calling Alice.
这是一位抗议者,我们称之为爱丽丝。
And I'm born in 1997.
而我是1997年出生的。
Ira Glass Here's her friend we're calling Tiffany.
艾拉·格拉斯 这是她的朋友,我们称之为蒂芙尼。
I'm also born in 1997.
我也是1997年出生的。
Yuen You can call me Yuen, and I'm born in 1997.
袁 你可以叫我袁,我是1997年出生的。
So 1997 is the year when Hong Kong was handed over back to China from the British.
所以1997年是香港从英国手中回归中国的一年。
OK, let's just pause on these 22-year-olds for a minute for some quick history.
好吧,让我们暂停一下这些 22 岁的人,简单回顾一下历史。
As you may or may not know, Hong Kong sits on the edge of mainland China, right?
您可能知道也可能不知道,香港位于中国大陆的边缘,对吧?
It was a British colony for a really long time, starting in the 19th century.
从 19 世纪开始,它在很长一段时间内都是英国殖民地。
And then finally, in 1997, the British got out.
最后,在 1997 年,英国人退出了。
They handed it over to China.
他们把它交给了中国。
And the idea was, there's going to be a 50-year transition period.
我们的想法是,会有一个 50 年的过渡期。
After 50 years, China would fully be in charge.
50年后,中国将完全掌控一切。
But during that 50 years, Hong Kong would be a democracy.
但在那50年里,香港将成为一个民主国家。
Now, Hong Kong people are to run Hong Kong.
现在,香港人治港。
That's the last British governor of Hong Kong during the handover ceremony in 1997.
这是1997年香港回归仪式上最后一位英国总督。
That is the promise, and that is the unshakeable destiny.
这就是承诺,这就是不可动摇的命运。
But to be clear, Hong Kong had not been a democracy under Britain.
但需要明确的是,香港在英国统治下并不是一个民主国家。
But they were going to transition towards it over a bunch of years.
但他们将在几年内过渡到这一点。
And the hope was, after 50 years, in 2047, the Chinese government would let them stay a democracy-- which, at the time, did not seem like a crazy idea.
人们希望,50 年后,即 2047 年,中国政府能让他们继续实行民主制度——这在当时看来并不是一个疯狂的想法。
China was opening up in all kinds of ways, though it wasn't clear how this was going to play out.
中国正在以各种方式开放,尽管目前尚不清楚这将如何发挥作用。
And at the end of the day, after 50 years, in the year 2047, China was going to be able to do whatever it wanted in Hong Kong.
最终,50年后,即2047年,中国将能够在香港为所欲为。
These are the children born the year that clock started ticking.
这些孩子是在时钟开始计时的那一年出生的。
And have you heard of the phrase "cursed generation?"
你听说过“被诅咒的一代”这个词吗?
Yes, it was a joke among the 1997 people.
是的,这是1997年人们的一个笑话。
It was pretty much a joke, pretty much a funny thing to us, because--
这对我们来说几乎是一个笑话,一件有趣的事情,因为——
I think when we first joke about it, it's really primary schools, but--
我想当我们第一次开玩笑时,这确实是小学,但是——
The cursed generation is just what we've been joking around for all those years.
被诅咒的一代正是我们这些年来一直开玩笑的对象。
Originally, the joke had to do with a coincidence.
本来,这个笑话与巧合有关。
They were cursed because of some weird, bad luck during some big childhood milestones they all went through together, like the year of their kindergarten graduation, the SARS virus hit Hong Kong.
他们因为一起经历的一些重大童年里程碑中的一些奇怪的坏运气而受到诅咒,比如他们幼儿园毕业那年,非典病毒袭击了香港。
And the city shut down, graduations were canceled.
城市被封锁,毕业典礼被取消。
Six years later, when they should've had their elementary school graduation, same thing happened again, but with swine flu.
六年后,当他们应该小学毕业时,同样的事情又发生了,只不过是猪流感。
And Jennifer remembers that her friends joked that when they graduated high school, it was going to be Ebola.
詹妮弗记得她的朋友们开玩笑说,当他们高中毕业时,将会是埃博拉病毒。
And that's when they started using the word "cursed."
从那时起他们开始使用“被诅咒”这个词。
I think that was around the time that JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
我认为那是 JK 罗琳创作《哈利·波特与被诅咒的孩子》的时间。
Yeah, so many of us-- oh, we're the cursed child.
是的,我们很多人——哦,我们是被诅咒的孩子。
Or we say that we are the chosen one because Harry Potter was the chosen one.
或者我们说我们是被选中的人,因为哈利·波特是被选中的人。
All of us love Harry Potter.
我们所有人都喜欢哈利·波特。
So we always think that, oh, we are the chosen one.
所以我们总是认为,哦,我们是被选中的人。
We have to face something special in our life.
我们必须面对生活中一些特别的事情。
Or we are the cursed one.
或者我们就是被诅咒的人。
We have to face something bad or face something significant.
我们必须面对一些糟糕的事情或面对一些重大的事情。
Jennifer says the "chosen one" side of things didn't really kick in until their senior year of high school.
詹妮弗说,直到高中四年级,“选择的一方”才真正开始发挥作用。
It was 2014.
那是2014年。
They were 17, the 17th year since the handover.
那一年,他们17岁,回归已经17年了。
And that year, people in Hong Kong were still expecting that mainland China was going to let them start holding full-on elections, where they could choose their own leaders, as promised back in 1997.
那一年,香港人民仍然期待中国大陆将让他们开始举行全面选举,他们可以选择自己的领导人,正如 1997 年所承诺的那样。
And that year, China announced it wasn't going to happen.
那一年,中国宣布这不会发生。
This led to a movement called the Umbrella Movement, headed by young people, teenagers, who'd learned their politics in these public school classes that all these 22-year-olds talk about as being instrumental in their thinking, classes that began as part of the handover called Liberal Studies classes that explained, among other things, the promises of 1997 and the rights of Hong Kong citizens.
这导致了一场名为“雨伞运动”的运动,由年轻人、青少年领导,他们在公立学校的课程中学习政治,所有这些22岁的孩子都认为这些课程对他们的思想有帮助,这些课程是作为移交的一部分开始的,称为通识课程,解释了1997年的承诺和香港公民的权利等。
They took to the streets, most of them for the first time, demanding to vote, carrying umbrellas, thousands of people in a vast procession down the streets in a protest movement that was almost entirely peaceful.
他们中的大多数人第一次走上街头,要求投票,撑着雨伞,成千上万的人在街道上举行了一场几乎完全和平的抗议运动。
And they lost.
他们输了。
They didn't get the vote.
他们没有获得投票权。
After three months, the protests ended.
三个月后,抗议活动结束。
Alice works for a multinational company in an entry-level job out of college.
大学毕业后,爱丽丝在一家跨国公司从事初级工作。
She's a management trainee.
她是一名管理培训生。
She says she went to some protests back then out of solidarity with her peers.
她说,当时她出于与同龄人的团结而参加了一些抗议活动。
I was just amazed by the other students.
我只是对其他学生感到惊讶。
But she did really get all the politics.
但她确实掌握了所有的政治。
That changed this June, when Hong Kong introduced the bill that would allow mainland China to extradite people from Hong Kong to be tried and punished in China under Chinese law.
今年六月,情况发生了变化,香港提出了一项法案,允许中国大陆从香港引渡人员,并根据中国法律在中国接受审判和惩罚。
This was seen as a new and very menacing encroachment on the rights of Hong Kong citizens.
这被视为对香港公民权利的新的、极具威胁性的侵犯。
Since 1997, they'd been ruled by Hong Kong laws and Hong Kong courts, where everybody is presumed innocent with the rights we know in most democratic countries.
自1997年以来,它们一直由香港法律和香港法院管辖,每个人都被假定为无罪,享有我们在大多数民主国家所知道的权利。
Now, anybody could get thrown into the prisons and courts of communist China.
现在,任何人都可能被投入共产主义中国的监狱和法庭。
I would say that that was the time when I first feel awakened, when I'm truly understanding what's happening when I first go to the march of the no extradition bill.
我想说那是我第一次感到觉醒的时候,当我第一次参加不引渡法案游行时,我真正理解正在发生的事情。
And I was very, very emotional at that time because there is only around 7 million people in Hong Kong.
当时我非常非常激动,因为香港只有大约700万人口。
But 1 million walk on the street with the same demand, with the same wish of having Hong Kong to remain its current state.
但100万人走在街上,有着同样的诉求,同样的愿望,就是让香港保持现状。
Wanting Hong Kong to stay like it is with its own laws, separate from China.
希望香港保持自己的法律,与中国分开。
A week later, 2 million people came out.
一周后,就有200万人出来了。
At the time, I was feeling very, oh my god, this is so touching.
当时我就觉得,天哪,这太感人了。
Why is people so united?
人们为何如此团结?
And then the next second, the government just declares that, oh, we heard your voice, but we will be continuing on the bill on Tuesday.
然后下一秒,政府就宣布,哦,我们听到了你的声音,但我们将在周二继续讨论该法案。
So that was a really big contrast.
所以这是一个非常大的对比。
And in the morning, you see how peaceful things were.
到了早上,你会发现一切是多么平静。
But at night, you see the police coming out and start brutally hitting people.
但到了晚上,你会看到警察出来并开始残酷地殴打人们。
It was really unforgettable to me because that was the first time when I witnessed with my real eyes that the police is chasing people.
我真的很难忘,因为那是我第一次亲眼目睹警察追人。
They are chasing students who did not do anything and start to beat them and arrest them.
他们追赶没有采取任何行动的学生,并开始殴打和逮捕他们。
Other 22-year-olds also told us how radicalizing it's been to see police teargassing and beating peaceful protesters.
其他 22 岁的年轻人也告诉我们,看到警察使用催泪瓦斯并殴打和平抗议者是多么激进。
And at this point-- I didn't understand this before we got to Hong Kong-- a lot of the emotion driving the protests is just about the police.
在这一点上——在我们到达香港之前我不明白这一点——推动抗议活动的很多情绪都与警察有关。
Because the government is supporting them to do such things, and there is no penalty for them, even if they are doing things that are completely unacceptable to everyone.
因为政府是支持他们做这样的事情的,而且不会对他们进行任何惩罚,即使他们做的事情是大家完全不能接受的。
Of course, nobody knows where this is going to lead by 2047, when China fully takes over Hong Kong.
当然,没有人知道到 2047 年中国完全接管香港时,这会导致什么结果。
But for Jennifer and lots of other people her age, things are starting to feel pretty ominous.
但对于詹妮弗和许多与她同龄的人来说,事情开始让人感到相当不祥。
Was Hong Kong going to become just like any other Chinese city run by the communists?
香港会变得像其他由共产党统治的中国城市一样吗?
When you're 50, what do you picture life here will be like?
当你50岁的时候,你想象这里的生活会是什么样子?
I can picture that I will be super depressed because I super like comment on political things.
我可以想象我会非常沮丧,因为我非常喜欢评论政治事物。
I really cannot imagine the day that I cannot speak freely on internet, that we do not have that freedom of speech anymore.
我真的无法想象有一天我不能在互联网上自由发言,我们不再拥有言论自由。
And I cannot imagine that there will come a day me and my friends commenting on the government would become a crime.
我无法想象有一天我和我的朋友对政府的评论会成为一种犯罪。
Yes, I do, when all the things that is happening in mainland China now, especially, I would say, in-- where is it-- Xinjiang.
是的,我愿意,当中国大陆现在发生的所有事情,特别是,我会说,在——它在哪里——新疆。
Xinjiang.
新疆。
Jennifer Yeah, what is happening in Xinjiang will happen in Hong Kong.
詹妮弗 是的,新疆发生的事情也会发生在香港。
She's talking about internment camps where the Chinese are holding perhaps a million Uighurs and others.
她说的是中国关押着大约一百万维吾尔人和其他人的拘留营。
They say is re-education, but it's basically a concentration camp.
他们说是再教育,但它基本上是一个集中营。
They put people who do not agree with the government into the concentration camp and educate them.
他们把不同意政府的人关进集中营并教育他们。
And they got monitored wherever and whenever they go.
无论何时何地,他们都会受到监控。
Everywhere is police.
到处都是警察。
Police monitors everybody's move.
警察监视每个人的一举一动。
And I do think that if we do not fight for our future, there will come a day Hong Kong will become like Xinjiang.
我确实认为,如果我们不为自己的未来而奋斗,香港有一天会变得像新疆一样。
Because she's politically active, this does not feel like an abstract threat.
因为她在政治上很活跃,所以这并不像是一个抽象的威胁。
When these 22-year-olds picture who China's going to crack down on, it's them.
当这些 22 岁的年轻人想象中国要镇压谁时,他们就是他们。
Tiffany's also in her first job out of college.
蒂芙尼也开始了她大学毕业后的第一份工作。
She works at a bank.
她在银行工作。
She asked us to replace her voice with an actress.
她要求我们用女演员代替她的声音。
Who knows whatever they would do to us?
谁知道他们会对我们做什么?
And under the extradition bill, who knows where we will go, what time we will disappear?
而根据引渡法案,谁知道我们会去哪里,什么时候会消失?
That's what we fear of.
这就是我们所害怕的。
Tiffany's heard of the social credit system that China has started to monitor and rate its citizens.
蒂芙尼听说中国已经开始对其公民进行监控和评级的社会信用体系。
She fears that if China decides that you're anti-government, it will make it impossible for you to get the job you want or rise in society.
她担心,如果中国判定你反政府,你将无法获得想要的工作或在社会中崛起。
And the devices the China uses to monitor its population, an estimated 200 million surveillance cameras around the country with facial recognition software, they've been going up around Hong Kong, tens of thousands of them.
中国用来监控人口的设备,估计全国有 2 亿个带有面部识别软件的监控摄像头,它们已经在香港各地安装了数万个。
Many, like me, are scared of being monitored and rated so that we will never, ever be free to do anything that we want under the monitoring of the Chinese government.
许多人,像我一样,害怕受到监控和评估,这样我们就永远不会在中国政府的监控下自由地做任何我们想做的事情。
This is something else I didn't understand before I came to Hong Kong.
这是我来香港之前不明白的事情。
The protesters like Tiffany and Jennifer don't just fear what's going to happen to them in the future, with extradition laws or losing the internet or losing free speech.
像蒂芙尼和詹妮弗这样的抗议者不仅仅担心未来会发生什么,比如引渡法、失去互联网或失去言论自由。
In their daily lives right now, they believe they're watching China already transforming Hong Kong, making it less like the Hong Kong they know and more like the mainland.
在他们现在的日常生活中,他们相信他们看到中国已经在改变香港,使其不再像他们所知道的香港,而更像大陆。
Jennifer points to changes in the public school curricula.
詹妮弗指出了公立学校课程的变化。
Like, she says, her seven-year-old nephew is speaking Mandarin in school five days a week.
她说,就像她七岁的侄子每周有五天在学校说普通话一样。
That didn't happen when she was a kid.
她小时候并没有发生过这种事。
Mandarin's what they speak in mainland China.
普通话是中国大陆人说的。
In Hong Kong, people mostly speak in Cantonese and in English.
在香港,人们大多说粤语和英语。
So all the Chinese classes are conducted in Mandarin.
所以所有的中文课都是用普通话进行的。
So he speaks Mandarin everyday, basically.
所以他基本上每天都说普通话。
He speaks Mandarin better than English.
他普通话说得比英语好。
Can you explain a little bit why Cantonese is so important?
你能解释一下为什么粤语如此重要吗?
Cantonese is more like an identity to us.
粤语对我们来说更像是一种身份。
It's part of what makes Hong Kong Hong Kong.
这是香港成为香港的一部分。
These days, when Jennifer pictures what her life is going to be like between now and 2047, she imagines her own kids going to public schools, not studying Cantonese, coming home and parroting the pro-government line that'll be the curriculum by then.
如今,当詹妮弗想象从现在到 2047 年她的生活会是什么样子时,她想象着自己的孩子去公立学校,不学习粤语,回家后鹦鹉学舌地模仿届时将成为课程的亲政府路线。
So, I do love kids.
所以,我确实喜欢孩子。
I really want to have kids.
我真的很想要孩子。
I want to have a football team of kids, really.
我真的想要一支由孩子们组成的足球队。
But I just cannot imagine the life they will be having in Hong Kong later on.
但我实在无法想象他们以后在香港的生活。
I cannot promise my kid a happy life if I am not certain about what will Hong Kong become.
如果我不确定香港会变成什么样子,我就无法向我的孩子保证幸福的生活。
You don't think there are children who are raised to be happy in mainland China?
你认为中国大陆没有幸福的孩子吗?
Not the kind of happy that I think.
不是我想象的那种幸福。
Mainland China people, they think that they are happy because they can still live.
中国大陆人,他们以为自己还能活下去就幸福了。
But we want things more than just surviving in this society.
但我们想要的不仅仅是在这个社会中生存。
We look for rights and freedoms and human rights.
我们寻求权利、自由和人权。
But the mainland China, they ignore all those things.
但中国大陆,他们忽略了所有这些事情。
They just think having a stable life, having kids, having food, a good place to live in is already happy enough.
They just think having a stable life, having kids, having food, a good place to live in is already happy enough.
Yeah.
是的。
Another change she says she's seeing right now in Hong Kong, she's upset at all the mainlanders moving there in her neighborhood, and university students that she and her friends encountered at college.
她说她现在在香港看到的另一个变化是,她对她附近所有搬到那里的大陆人以及她和她的朋友在大学遇到的大学生感到不安。
So many mainlanders, she says.
她说,大陆人很多。
I just feel really weird because I am born and raised in Hong Kong.
I just feel really weird because I am born and raised in Hong Kong.
I go to a local school, but then I have to be surrounded by all the mainlanders.
我在当地上学,但周围都是大陆人。
Does it bother you to be surrounded by mainlanders?
被大陆人包围会让你感到困扰吗?
Yes, actually, quite.
是的,实际上,完全如此。
But then we have 150 new immigrants from China to Hong Kong every day.
But then we have 150 new immigrants from China to Hong Kong every day.
Oh, yeah, I'm just going to pause the tape there for a second.
Oh, yeah, I'm just going to pause the tape there for a second.
The total, by the way, is over a million mainlanders since 1997, roughly 45,000 a year.
The total, by the way, is over a million mainlanders since 1997, roughly 45,000 a year.
But I'm stopping the tape because I don't know how you're feeling about Jennifer, but this was a point we came to in a few interviews with these 22-year-olds.
但我要停止播放磁带,因为我不知道你们对 Jennifer 的感觉如何,但这是我们在对这些 22 岁的人进行的几次采访中谈到的一点。
When you got them under the subject of mainlanders, get ready for a wave of totally bigoted opinions.
When you got them under the subject of mainlanders, get ready for a wave of totally bigoted opinions.
So especially I live in New Territories.
特别是我住在新界。
So all the people surrounding you, you hear Mandarin, and then you start to see those less educated people, they're squatting next to the streets.
所以你周围的所有人,你都会听到普通话,然后你开始看到那些受教育程度较低的人,他们蹲在街道旁边。
I did witness a mainland lady having her children pee at the road.
I did witness a mainland lady having her children pee at the road.
And I always hear mainland people yelling, shouting out for nothing in the mall.

And always, they jump into the line-- everything.

It bothers me a lot.
这让我很烦恼。
I don't know.
我不知道。
They just squat on the roadside, waiting people.
They just squat on the roadside, waiting people.
Yeah, for nothing.
是啊,无缘无故。
They can squat for an hour.
他们可以蹲一个小时。
Yeah, we don't, 'cause who would squat at the road?
Yeah, we don't, 'cause who would squat at the road?
Why can't you can't stand?
为什么你就不能忍受呢?
Or why you can't just sit?
或者为什么你不能只是坐着?
They're more comfortable.
They're more comfortable.
Jennifer It just doesn't look good.
Jennifer It just doesn't look good.
It doesn't look good.
看起来不太好。
It doesn't look civilized.
看起来不太文明。
So for all the alarm that Jennifer and the cursed generation feel about the future, the parents are often not as alarmed about China taking more control of Hong Kong and about what the island's going to be like in 2047.
因此,尽管詹妮弗和被诅咒的一代对未来感到担忧,但父母们往往并不担心中国对香港更多的控制以及该岛在 2047 年会是什么样子。
Like Tiffany's parents, they hate her going out to protest every weekend.
和蒂芙尼的父母一样,他们讨厌她每个周末出去抗议。
I think for my parents, they-- we really had some very serious fights.
I think for my parents, they-- we really had some very serious fights.
And they think, we'll just let China take over Hong Kong.
And they think, we'll just let China take over Hong Kong.
It'll be fine.
会没事的。
I think my parents, some of the older generation just don't believe, or they are not brave enough to open up their eyes and see what is actually going to happen.
我认为我的父母,一些老一辈只是不相信,或者他们没有足够的勇气睁开眼睛看看到底会发生什么。
They just feel like they did not do anything wrong.
They just feel like they did not do anything wrong.
As long as you did not do anything wrong, then you'd be fine.
As long as you did not do anything wrong, then you'd be fine.
What's galling about this for Tiffany is that she feels like she's being the responsible one, fighting for everybody's future.
What's galling about this for Tiffany is that she feels like she's being the responsible one, fighting for everybody's future.
And they're telling her not to protest.
他们告诉她不要抗议。
She was like, maybe if your parents had done this themselves years ago, things wouldn't be so bad today.
She was like, maybe if your parents had done this themselves years ago, things wouldn't be so bad today.
I'm 22 years old.
我今年22岁了。
And in the past, when I was younger, they have never stood up like us or fight like us to ask for what they are promised in 1997.
And in the past, when I was younger, they have never stood up like us or fight like us to ask for what they are promised in 1997.
It's funny.
很有趣。
When you talk about it, you're mad at your parents about it.
当你谈论这件事时,你会生父母的气。
I just feel like-- I mean, I don't understand why they would not want these rights or why they don't think that something bad is going to happen in the next 50 years.
我只是觉得——我的意思是,我不明白为什么他们不想要这些权利,或者为什么他们不认为未来 50 年内会发生不好的事情。
So Tiffany and Jennifer and so many others, they've kind of given over their lives to protesting.
So Tiffany and Jennifer and so many others, they've kind of given over their lives to protesting.
They work during the week, protest on the weekends.
They work during the week, protest on the weekends.

Again, here's Jennifer.
再说一次,这是詹妮弗。
I am pretty much pessimistic, actually.
事实上,我非常悲观。
I do wish that one day, we all succeed.
I do wish that one day, we all succeed.
We want a democratic Hong Kong, but now, I just don't see a way out.
We want a democratic Hong Kong, but now, I just don't see a way out.
It's been three months.
已经三个月了。
We've been trying each and every step.

We've broke into the legislative council.

We have more than 1,000 people got arrested.

If you feel so pessimistic about the results, why still go?

Why are you still going out every weekend?

At least the governments see that we are not that-- how do we say-- we are not that obedient.
至少政府看到我们不是——怎么说——我们没有那么听话。
So we have to continuously tell the government that we are not satisfied with what they are giving us.
So we have to continuously tell the government that we are not satisfied with what they are giving us.
So we have to do it.
所以我们必须这样做。
Again, here's Alice.
再说一次,这是爱丽丝。
Alice I think even if we have to lose, we need to leave our true thoughts in history.
Alice I think even if we have to lose, we need to leave our true thoughts in history.
We need to let the people behind us know that we've tried.
我们需要让我们身后的人知道我们已经尝试过。
2047 is coming, and this is a very grand thing to say, but so many of these curse generation kids feel like they have a special destiny.
2047 is coming, and this is a very grand thing to say, but so many of these curse generation kids feel like they have a special destiny.
Alex preferred to speak to us through an interpreter.
亚历克斯更喜欢通过翻译与我们交谈。
She's a frontline protester, builds barricades, has been arrested.
She's a frontline protester, builds barricades, has been arrested.
I think we're actually lucky because we grew up with people who thought the same way.
I think we're actually lucky because we grew up with people who thought the same way.
And we realized that when we turn 50, it's the end of our freedoms.
我们意识到,当我们年满 50 岁时,我们的自由就结束了。
I'm 22 now, and I imagine that when I'm 25, that's really halfway until the bomb explodes.
我现在 22 岁了,我想当我 25 岁的时候,距离炸弹爆炸已经过去了一半。
And so if we don't do anything, by the time we're 50 years old, it would be awful.
And so if we don't do anything, by the time we're 50 years old, it would be awful.
I don't want our children to have the same battle.
我不希望我们的孩子经历同样的战斗。
And then when we're 50, we'll look back and think that we didn't do enough.
当我们50岁的时候,当我们回顾过去时,我们会觉得我们做得还不够。
Our birthday is like a countdown to the end.
Our birthday is like a countdown to the end.
And so, more so than other people, I feel like my generation, we have a duty to do more.
因此,与其他人相比,我觉得我们这一代人有责任做得更多。
Again, here's Jennifer.
再说一次,这是詹妮弗。
Jennifer If we were born earlier, probably I would become my dad and mom.
詹妮弗 如果我们早点出生,也许我就会成为我的爸爸和妈妈。
And if I were born later, I would probably become those little kids speaking Mandarin better than Cantonese.
如果我晚生的话,我可能会成为那些说普通话比粤语更好的小孩子。
So I am happy that I am born in 1997.
So I am happy that I am born in 1997.
We are in the middle.
我们在中间。
We have the chance to know what is freedom, and we are experiencing that our freedom is being taken away.
我们有机会知道什么是自由,但我们正在经历我们的自由正在被剥夺。
And that's why we are the group who step up first to fight for it.
这就是为什么我们是第一个站出来为之奋斗的团体。
I think we're getting off here.
I think we're getting off here.
I think we are getting off.
I think we are getting off.
After an hour bus ride, we get to the protest.
经过一个小时的巴士车程,我们到达了抗议地点。
This is Act Two, The Fight.
这是第二幕,战斗。
Once you're off of the bus, Jennifer ducks into a public restroom and comes out in black shirt, black pants, black mask over her face, hair pulled back in a ponytail.
一下车,詹妮弗就躲进公共卫生间,出来时穿着黑色衬衫、黑色裤子,脸上戴着黑色口罩,头发向后扎成马尾辫。
And we head on to a street where we're surrounded by hundreds of people dressed exactly like her.
我们走向一条街道,周围有数百名穿着与她一模一样的人。
A big shopping district, the stores closed, and no cars.
一个很大的购物区,商店都关门了,没有汽车。
All the side streets have been blocked off with barricades by the protesters-- scaffolding and fencing, trashcans, and orange construction cones piled in the street.
所有的小巷都被抗议者用路障封锁了——脚手架、栅栏、垃圾桶,街上堆满了橙色的建筑锥体。
They do an efficient job.

We meet up with Jennifer's friends by a big Victoria's Secret store.
我们在一家大型维多利亚的秘密商店与詹妮弗的朋友们见面。

男性朋友 不,我们没有。
We didn't.
我们没有。
For the record, I'm with them all afternoon-- no kissing at all.
根据记录,我整个下午都和他们在一起——根本没有接吻。
The city is giving permission for fewer protests these days, and this is an unsanctioned demonstration we're at, which means that everybody here is breaking the law.
这些天,市政府允许减少抗议活动,而我们正在进行未经批准的示威活动,这意味着这里的每个人都在违法。
Anyone is subject to arrest, which affects crowd size.
任何人都可能被捕,这会影响人群规模。
The maximum penalty is five years-- 10 years, if you're convicted of rioting-- which is why all the protesters are so scared of getting arrested all the time.
最高刑罚是五年——如果你因骚乱罪被定罪,则为十年——这就是为什么所有抗议者一直害怕被捕。
But despite that, the beginning of the protest has the feeling of a block party.
但尽管如此,抗议活动一开始就有一种街区聚会的感觉。
People strolling, chatting-- you see a few parents and kids.
人们在散步、聊天——你会看到一些父母和孩子。
Some non-protesters cut through the crowd, running errands.
一些非抗议者穿过人群去办事。
But an hour into all this, I look around and realize-- no families, no kids.
但在这一切发生一个小时后,我环顾四周,意识到——没有家人,没有孩子。
It's not feeling like a block party at all.
这根本不像是一场街区派对。
People are standing on top of fences, trying to see what's ahead of us.
人们站在栅栏顶上,试图看看前方会发生什么。
They're starting to put on gas masks.

Describe what you're seeing.
描述你所看到的。
Jennifer The protesters in the Thomas Street are moving backwards, so we assume that there are riot police on the other end of the road.
詹妮弗 托马斯街的抗议者正在向后退,所以我们假设路的另一端有防暴警察。
There is tear gas fired over there.

It's like two or three blocks away.
大约有两三个街区远。
We walk towards the police and the tear gas, past teams of protesters who are knocking bricks out of the sidewalk with long steel tools.
我们走向警察和催泪瓦斯,经过一群群抗议者,他们正在用长钢工具敲掉人行道上的砖块。
And the idea is what?

Jennifer To put on the road so, later on, the riot police cannot run that fast.
Jennifer To 放上马路,这样,后来防暴警察就跑不了那么快了。
Also, people throw bricks at the police.

We march straight to the frontlines, where hundreds of protesters are massed on a side street.
我们直接前往前线,数百名抗议者聚集在一条小街上。
The police are just half a block away, but we can't really see them through the crowd.
警察就在半个街区之外,但我们无法透过人群真正看到他们。
And then a whole wave of tear gas canisters arcs towards us, hits us.
然后一波催泪瓦斯罐向我们射来,击中我们。
And lots of people, us included, run back a ways, half a block away.
很多人,包括我们在内,都跑回半个街区之外。
Jennifer calmly administers saline solution into strangers' eyes.
詹妮弗平静地把生理盐水滴入陌生人的眼睛里。
The controls on my recorder got knocked around running through the smoke, so I do not have a decent recording of that.
我的录音机上的控制装置在烟雾中被撞坏了,所以我没有像样的录音。
This is the role that she's assigned herself in the protest-- first aid, helping anybody who requires it.
这就是她在抗议活动中给自己分配的角色——急救,帮助任何需要帮助的人。
She even brought energy candy specifically to give out to people whose energy is flagging.
她还专门带来了能量糖,送给那些精力衰退的人。
After being driven back, Jennifer and her two friends and I wait for the smoke to clear.
被赶回来后,詹妮弗和她的两个朋友以及我等待烟雾散去。
Basically.
基本上。

And when you get to the police, what are you going to do?
当你报警时,你会做什么?
We're going to stand in front of them.
我们要站在他们面前。
If we have a chance, we're going to fight them back.

OK, we're walking forward to its corner, where it's this blue-- [COUGHS]

And then we wait around.
然后我们就等着。
A water cannon goes off, blasting water that is dyed blue, laced with stuff that stings your skin.
高压水枪响起,喷射出染成蓝色的水,其中含有刺痛皮肤的物质。
More tear gas, and we pull back a little.
更多催泪瓦斯,我们退缩了一点。
Then we move forward, wait again.
然后我们继续前进,再次等待。
[LAUGHS] Sometimes there's not always a purpose.
[笑]有时并不总是有目的的。
Sometimes we sitting at the back is just as a support.
有时我们坐在后面只是作为一个支撑。
We just act as a support to those at the front.
我们只是为前线人员提供支持。
Support like, if something happens, you'll do first aid?
支持,比如如果发生什么事情,你会进行急救吗?
Something like this, but also they know that there are many people behind them.
这样的事情,但他们也知道,他们背后有很多人。
It is important to give them some mental support as well.
给他们一些精神支持也很重要。
Yeah.
是的。
So many protesters are like Jennifer.
很多抗议者都像詹妮弗一样。
They feel like it's their job to support the people at the front, who are the hardcore ones, who push back against police and throw Molotov cocktails, and chase police with sticks and metal rods, and tear stuff down to build barriers to slow the police, wearing full gear, helmets and goggles and gas masks and gloves.
他们觉得他们的工作就是支持前线的人,他们是最核心的人,他们反抗警察,投掷燃烧弹,用棍棒和金属棒追赶警察,拆除东西以建造障碍,以减缓警察的速度,他们穿着全套装备,戴着头盔、护目镜、防毒面具和手套。
Finally, the frontliners yell that they want room to retreat.
最后,前线人员喊道,他们想要撤退的空间。
And so we need to retreat.

Nowadays, we're just trying to stand on our own ground, not to be dispersed that easily.
如今,我们只是想坚守自己的阵地,不那么容易被分散。
That's it.
就是这样。
Just, the goal is to just stay out as long as you can.
只是,我们的目标是尽可能长时间地呆在外面。
Yeah.
是的。
Ira Glass And then eventually, the police will push you off the street?
Ira Glass 然后最终,警察会把你从街上推出去?
So in other words, it's exactly like the entire protest movement leading to 2047.
换句话说,这就像2047年之前的整个抗议运动一样。
Just try to slow them down as much as you can.
尽你所能地减慢他们的速度。
Yes.
是的。
Ira Glass In the end, China will win.
艾拉·格拉斯最终,中国将获胜。
But for as long as you can, you'll just stand here in the street.

Say goodbye to Emanuele for me as well.
也替我向埃马努埃莱说再见。
Thank you.

As her car pulled away, across the street on Queens Road, there was an endless row of police vehicles headed in the other direction, just dozens of them, blue and red lights flashing.

That being shot at with water cannons, tear gassed, seeing someone knocked unconscious, beaten with batons, handcuffed and kicked, groups of thugs beating and attacking people with hammers, clubs, and knives, watching all this and being subjected to it-- that's what got a lot of people on board with violence.

Jonathan said he does not ask his dad what he thinks of the way police beat and tear gas protesters for the same reason.

It's just like if he says something-- if he says something that completely doesn't make sense to me, it sort of brings him down as a person.
就像如果他说了一些对我来说完全没有意义的话,这会让他作为一个人感到沮丧。

没问题。
Jonathan says, OK, yes, arrest them.

彼得不断地重复同样的事情,就像他被逼到了墙角一样,没有必要进行独立调查。
Now is not the right time.
现在还不是时候。
The city already has a system in place to investigate complaints about the police.
该市已经建立了一个系统来调查对警察的投诉。
[SPEAKING CHINESE] Alan Yu They talk a little longer, but it doesn't go anywhere.
[说中文] 于艾伦 他们又聊了一会儿,但没有任何进展。
Alva tells me later she had other things she could have brought up, but decided against it.
阿尔瓦后来告诉我,她本来可以提出其他事情,但她决定不这样做。
She didn't want her husband to feel trapped.
她不想让她的丈夫感到被困住。
The word she used was [CHINESE], which translates as, dead corner.
她用的词是[中文],翻译过来就是死角。
No place to go.
无处可去。
Preserving the family was more important to her than trying to win an argument.
对她来说,维护家庭比试图赢得争论更重要。
Later, Jonathan told me he still loves his dad, but he's given up hope that his father could be a reasonable human being, at least when it comes to the police.
后来,乔纳森告诉我,他仍然爱他的父亲,但他已经放弃了希望,认为他的父亲可以成为一个通情达理的人,至少在警察方面。
When I started this, I was kind of naive.
当我开始这样做时,我有点天真。
I thought maybe Jonathan and his mother and father, people who actually want to understand each other, could talk about this in a productive manner.
我想也许乔纳森和他的父母,这些真正想要互相理解的人,可以以富有成效的方式谈论这个问题。
And that if they could, maybe there was hope that the rest of us could.
如果他们能做到,也许我们其他人也能做到。
But now, I don't have a lot of hope.
但现在,我已经不抱太大希望了。
Alan Yu.
于艾伦.
He's normally a reporter for WHYY's show The Pulse.
他通常是 WHYY 节目《脉搏》的记者。
Act Five, A Slow Boat to China.
第五幕,开往中国的慢船。
So what about all the people living in Hong Kong who have no problem with China, who like China?
那么所有生活在香港、对中国没有问题、喜欢中国的人呢?
There's a lot of them, and they hold their own demonstrations, which are pretty small-- flag parties where flash mobs show up at malls and wave Chinese flags and sing the Chinese national anthem.
他们有很多,他们自己举行示威活动,规模相当小——快闪族出现在商场里,挥舞中国国旗,唱中国国歌。
And the big day to celebrate China normally would be October 1, National Day, the anniversary of the Communist Party founding the modern Chinese state.
通常庆祝中国的大日子是10月1日,即国庆节,即共产党建立现代中国国家的周年纪念日。
And this year was going to be a big one.
今年将是重要的一年。
It was the 70th anniversary.
那天是 70 周年纪念日。
And the people who support mainland China were kind of resentful, because this day was supposed to be this huge holiday for them, but anticipating massive protests, the city shut down.
而支持中国大陆的人们则有些不满,因为这一天对他们来说本应是一个重要的节日,但由于预计会出现大规模抗议活动,所以封城了。
Fireworks were canceled.
烟花表演被取消。
Trains weren't running.
火车没有运行。
Almost all the malls were going to be closed.
几乎所有购物中心都将关闭。
The protesters had ruined the day again.
抗议者再次毁了这一天。
So in defiance, the pro-China people organized an anthem singing party for the morning of the first.
因此,亲华人士不顾一切,在初一早上组织了一场国歌演唱会。
Our co-worker, Diane Wu, went.
我们的同事黛安·吴去了。
The party took place at 8:30 in the morning on a boat.
聚会于早上8点30分在船上举行。
Not just any boat-- on the Star Ferry, this iconic Hong Kong commuter sightseeing boat on the harbor.
不仅仅是任何船只 - 天星小轮是香港港口标志性的通勤观光船。
The ferries are these beautiful old boats from colonial times with names like Silver Star, Northern Star, Twinkling Star.
渡轮是殖民时期的漂亮老船,名字有银星、北极星、闪烁之星等。
And today, one of them is going to get completely covered with bright red Chinese flags.
今天,其中之一将被鲜红的中国国旗完全覆盖。
A couple dozen people are gathering at the ferry terminal.
渡轮码头聚集了几十人。
They're mostly strangers, know each other loosely from previous flash mobs and get-togethers.
他们大多是陌生人,通过之前的快闪活动和聚会而彼此了解。
[SHOUTING IN CHINESE] "I love China," they shout.
[用中文喊叫]“我爱中国”,他们喊道。
[SHOUTING IN CHINESE] "Support the police."
[用中文喊叫]“支持警察。”
It's kind of funny when you think about it, all these people up so early on their day off, getting on a boat to sing the national anthem together.
想想就觉得好笑,休息日这么多人起得那么早,还一起上船唱国歌。
It's also a little dark, because there's a real threat of violence against people who don't support the protest.
这也有点黑暗,因为不支持抗议的人确实面临暴力威胁。
One of these flag parties two weeks ago at a mall devolved into a brawl when protesters showed up.
两周前,在一家商场举行的一场卖旗派对因抗议者出现而演变成一场斗殴。
People on both sides got beat up.
两边的人都被打了。
And so going out on a ferry to shout pro-China slogans is strategic.
因此,在渡轮上喊出亲中国的口号是具有战略意义的。
Once you're on the boat out at sea, you ought to be safe from a counter-protest.
一旦你登上出海的船,你就应该不会受到反抗议。
As one guy put it--
正如一个人所说——
Well, we've been living in terror for the last three months because the people on the other side, the rioters, they're really good at the terrorizing tactics.
嗯,过去三个月我们一直生活在恐怖之中,因为另一边的人,暴徒,他们真的很擅长恐吓战术。
They make you feel that you should be afraid of speaking up and speaking out against them because they're so organized.
他们让你觉得你应该害怕大声疾呼和公开反对他们,因为他们是如此有组织。
In the terminal, everyone gathers in a semicircle, holding special holiday issues of the China Daily and singing the Chinese national anthem together.
航站楼里,大家围成半圆,拿着《中国日报》节日特刊,一起唱中国国歌。
It's a little shaky.
有点摇摇欲坠。
The guy leading it told me he just learned the words a couple of weeks ago.
领头的人告诉我他几周前才学会这些词。
Most of the people here, best as I can tell, are not mainlanders who grew up with the anthem.
据我所知,这里的大多数人都不是伴着国歌长大的大陆人。
The ones I talked to were all from Hong Kong.
和我交谈的都是香港人。
Being this into China is new for them, something that only happened when the protests got bad enough that they found themselves rallying around this new flag.
进入中国对他们来说是新鲜事,只有当抗议活动变得足够严重,他们发现自己聚集在这面新旗帜周围时,才会发生这种情况。
And it's not always comfortable.
而且并不总是那么舒服。
I'm getting on the boat with Daniel, the guy who was griping about being terrorized, when someone puts a heart-shaped sticker on him.
我和丹尼尔一起上船,丹尼尔正在抱怨自己受到了恐吓,这时有人在他身上贴了一张心形贴纸。
You just got a Chinese flag sticker stuck on you.
你身上刚刚贴了一张中国国旗贴纸。
Yes, yeah.
是的,是的。
I feel a little cringey about this.
我对此感到有点畏缩。
Why?
为什么?
Daniel I'm not exactly that red.
丹尼尔,我其实没那么红。
Compared to a lot of people here, I'm not the most red person.
和这里的很多人相比,我并不是最红的人。
Red, in the crayon box of the Hong Kong protests, refers to being pro-China, versus blue for the government and yellow for the protesters.
香港抗议活动的蜡笔盒中的红色代表亲中,蓝色代表政府,黄色代表抗议者。
Daniel almost didn't come this morning, actually.
事实上,丹尼尔今天早上差点没来。
It's not really his scene.
这真的不是他的场景。
He sees being this patriotic about China as kind of dorky.
他认为对中国如此爱国有点愚蠢。
Moreover--
而且——
I always tell my friends I would never want to live in China, because there's a lot of things in China that I can't accept if I were to be forced to live in China.
我总是告诉我的朋友我永远不想生活在中国,因为如果我被迫生活在中国,中国有很多事情我无法接受。
The two things he can't accept that we end up talking about are the lack of free speech and censored access to the internet.
他无法接受我们最终谈论的两件事是缺乏言论自由和对互联网的审查。
But the truth is, I live in Hong Kong and I get to retain my almost unchecked freedom for 28 more years.
但事实是,我住在香港,并且可以在接下来的 28 年里保留几乎不受限制的自由。
And it's such a sweetheart deal for Hong Kong people.
对于香港人来说,这真是一笔甜蜜的交易。
I pointed out to him that after 28 years, it's very possible those freedoms would disappear.
我向他指出,28年后,这些自由很可能会消失。
And he had the same response that I heard from other people who don't like the protests.
他的反应与我从其他不喜欢抗议的人那里听到的反应相同。
He was like, well, sure, maybe.
他说,好吧,当然,也许吧。
Well, I guess, you're talking me to appreciate the young people's perspectives.
嗯,我想,你是在让我欣赏年轻人的观点。
But in exchange for the freedom that they fight for, they're wreaking havoc, and they're destroying law and order.
但为了换取他们争取的自由,他们却制造了严重破坏,他们正在破坏法律和秩序。
So in the balance, it's not worth it to you.
所以总的来说,这对你来说不值得。
If I were to choose between this, if China say, in order to have law and order, I will need to sacrifice the freedom the same way Chinese people have in Hong Kong, I would accept that balance.
如果我要在这两者之间做出选择,如果中国说,为了拥有法律和秩序,我需要像中国人在香港那样牺牲自由,我会接受这种平衡。
This is unacceptable, the whole unorganized chaos, revolution, and the havoc they wrought in Hong Kong.
这是不可接受的,整个无组织的混乱、革命以及他们在香港造成的破坏。
It's completely unacceptable.
这是完全不能接受的。
I will give up the freedom the way they do in China to stop this.
我会像中国人那样放弃自由来阻止这一切。
It's a big jump from I could never live in China to I would sacrifice my freedom just to get this to stop.
从我永远无法在中国生活到我愿意牺牲我的自由来阻止这一切,这是一个巨大的飞跃。
But the intensity of the protests and his frustration with what he is experiencing in the city have driven him to at least try on this extreme idea.
但抗议活动的激烈程度以及他对自己在这座城市所经历的事情的沮丧促使他至少尝试一下这个极端的想法。
Daniel's 40, works in finance.
丹尼尔今年 40 岁,从事金融工作。
He lived in the US for 12 years.
他在美国生活了12年。
He's a football fan.
他是一名足球迷。
Roots for the Chicago Bears because he likes the tenacious defense.
扎根芝加哥熊队是因为他喜欢顽强的防守。
He says he wasn't politically involved before all this.
他说,在这一切之前他没有参与政治。
Went to one of the big peaceful protests last spring, more to watch than to participate.
去年春天,我参加了一场大型和平抗议活动,更多的是观看而不是参与。
But that changed one day when he was watching a livestream of the young protesters storming the legislative council.
但有一天,当他观看年轻抗议者冲击立法会的直播时,情况发生了变化。
He was surprised how ferocious they seemed, how even the police officers looked a little scared.
他很惊讶他们看起来如此凶猛,连警察都显得有些害怕。
At that moment, I suddenly realized, oh, we're actually very close to a revolution.
那一刻我突然意识到,哦,我们其实已经非常接近一场革命了。
It could happen.
这可能会发生。
It just never occurred to me that Hong Kong would go through that.
我只是没想到香港会经历这样的事情。
It's both stunned and anxiety about unknown.
既是震惊,又是对未知的焦虑。
Anxiety-- things can change abruptly.
焦虑——事情可能会突然改变。
If there isn't a revolution, it's going to force the hand of the Chinese government to crack down on it violently.
如果不革命,就会迫使中国政府出手猛烈镇压。
And anything can happen.
任何事情都可能发生。
I could lose all the privilege I have as a Hong Kong citizen-- protection of common law, freedom of speech, but also freedom of speech protected by common law.
我可能会失去作为香港公民所享有的所有特权——普通法的保护、言论自由,以及受普通法保护的言论自由。
Nobody in China enjoy this freedom, but-- if it gets to a certain point, we can lose all of these privileges, which I treasure.
在中国没有人享有这种自由,但是,如果达到某种程度,我们可能会失去所有这些我所珍惜的特权。
He woke up the next morning to see that the coverage was wall-to-wall about police brutality.
第二天早上他醒来,发现有关警察暴行的报道铺天盖地。
To Daniel, it seemed like everyone was leaving out the fact that the protesters had started it, which seemed deeply unjust to the police.
在丹尼尔看来,似乎每个人都忽略了抗议者发起这一事实,这对警察来说似乎非常不公正。
And that's when I started turning blue.
就在那时我开始脸色发青。
When I felt that the police were smeared unfairly, I took my side.
当我觉得警察受到不公平的抹黑时,我站在了自己一边。
I chose to be on the police's side.
我选择站在警察一边。
Other people sided against the protest for different reasons.
其他人出于不同的原因站在反对抗议一边。
A big one I heard was the disruption they caused.
我听到的一大问题是他们造成的破坏。
The security guard told me he had to transfer four times to get home by night because of subway shutdowns.
保安告诉我,由于地铁停运,他晚上必须换乘四次才能回家。
A woman trying to get cash out of an ATM that had been destroyed by protesters said, if you're mad at the government, take it out on the government.
一名妇女试图从被抗议者毁坏的自动取款机中取出现金,她说,如果你对政府生气,那就把怒气发泄到政府身上。
You're only hurting people like me.
你只会伤害像我这样的人。
A man said to me, sadly, Hong Kong is our home.
一个人对我说,可悲的是,香港是我们的家。
Why are they destroying it?
他们为什么要毁掉它?
The crowd on the boat finishes belting out the national anthem a second time, when, suddenly, everyone rushes to the railing.
船上的人群第二次唱完国歌,突然,所有人都冲向栏杆。
Everyone's waving at the sea police.
每个人都在向海上警察挥手。
They all ran to one side of the boat.
他们都跑到船的一侧。
It feels like it might tip over.
感觉可能会翻倒。
Everyone crammed together on one side in a position that's a little precarious.
每个人都挤在一边,处境有点危险。
That's kind of like Daniel's world right now.
这有点像丹尼尔现在的世界。
He felt pushed to choose a team.
他感到被迫选择一支球队。
Like it or not, these are his new people.
不管你喜欢与否,这些都是他的新朋友。
He doesn't think like them, exactly.
确切地说,他的想法与他们不同。
But he feels more aligned with these Chinese nationalists on this boat waving at the police than with the angry protesters ganging up on them, even if those protesters ultimately want the same thing he does-- to preserve their freedoms in Hong Kong.
但他感觉自己更支持这些在船上向警察挥手的中国民族主义者,而不是愤怒的抗议者联合起来攻击他们,即使这些抗议者最终想要和他做同样的事情——维护他们在香港的自由。
Sitting on the upper deck of the Star Ferry, this was actually the first time Daniel had ever sung the national anthem in public.
坐在天星小轮的上层甲板上,这其实是丹尼尔第一次在公开场合唱国歌。
He told me later, as he sang, he was surprised to find that he felt something.
后来他告诉我,当他唱歌时,他惊讶地发现自己感觉到了一些东西。
Diane Wu is the managing editor of our show, and she also has one more story for us.
吴黛安是我们节目的总编辑,她还给我们讲了一个故事。
I'm going to set this up.
我要设置这个。
It is Act Six of our show.
这是我们节目的第六幕。
Act Six, Two Weeks Later.
第六幕,两周后。
So October 1 wasn't just a big day for supporters of mainland China.
因此,10 月 1 日对于中国大陆的支持者来说不仅仅是一个大日子。
If anything, I think it was even more anticipated by pro-democracy protesters.
如果说有什么不同的话,我认为民主抗议者对此更加期待。
They knew China did not want to be embarrassed by demonstrations in Hong Kong on that day, such a big anniversary.
他们知道中国不想在这一天这样一个重要的周年纪念日因香港的示威活动而感到尴尬。
And in the weeks leading up to it, several of them told us that they were worried.
在这之前的几周里,他们中的一些人告诉我们他们很担心。
What kind of crackdown was going to come on October 1, or maybe in the days before it?
10 月 1 日或者之前的几天会进行什么样的镇压?
Would the government try to shut them down?
政府会试图关闭它们吗?
And sure enough, the weekend before October 1, there were tons of police, undercover cops posing as protesters, surge in arrests.
果然,10 月 1 日之前的周末,大量警察、便衣警察冒充抗议者,逮捕人数激增。
And on October 1, something happened that several of our interviewees predicted.
10 月 1 日,发生了一些我们的几位受访者所预测的事情。
For the first time, a protester was shot with a real bullet-- a teenager.
这是第一次,一名抗议者被真正的子弹射中——一名青少年。
In the days after that, things descended.
在那之后的日子里,事情逐渐恶化。

詹妮弗,9 月中旬和我一起去参加示威活动的抗议者,她在 10 月 1 日之前的几天里参加了所有这些抗议活动,然后她在 10 月 1 日,那个暴力的大日子离开了。
And Diane caught up with her the day after that, October 2, to see how she was doing, and to see what she made of it all.
在那之后的第二天,即 10 月 2 日,黛安找到了她,看看她过得怎么样,并了解她对这一切的看法。
I met up with Jennifer at the MTR station in Tsuen Wan on a Wednesday.
星期三,我在荃湾地铁站见到了詹妮弗。
She'd taken the MTR only because she was in a big rush to meet me after work.
她坐地铁只是因为下班后急着来接我。

It actually happened just a short walk from where we're standing.

The last few days of protests had been especially bad.
过去几天的抗议活动尤其糟糕。
Jennifer was in the middle of the crowd when dozens of special tactics police officers exploded out of a hidden door, sprinting after protesters and tackling them to the ground.
当詹妮弗在人群中间时,数十名特种战术警察从一扇隐藏的门中冲出,追赶抗议者并将他们按倒在地。
People hadn't seen this before.

引起了一波恐慌。
Everyone fled in terror, including Jennifer.
每个人都惊恐地逃跑了,包括詹妮弗。
Her phone was flooded with images of arrested protesters, pinned on the ground by riot police, face down with their wrists tied behind them.
她的手机上充斥着被捕抗议者的照片,他们被防暴警察按在地上,脸朝下,手腕被绑在身后。
Later, she met her friend, the one who went to the protest with Ira and her, and found out that in the rush, she had gotten trapped.
后来,她遇到了和艾拉一起去参加抗议活动的朋友,才发现自己在匆忙中被困住了。
She came really close to getting arrested.

一切对我来说实在是太难以承受了。

Remember, it could mean years in prison.
请记住,这可能意味着数年监禁。
After all of that, on October 1, she was almost too scared to go protest, but braved it anyways.

We were on our way walking from Tsuen Wan to Kwai Fong.

The police strategy of clamping down on the protests by outlawing almost all of them, then flooding the streets with riot police and arresting tons of people, this is the toll it's taking.
警察镇压抗议活动的策略是宣布几乎所有抗议活动为非法,然后在街道上布满防暴警察并逮捕大量人员,这就是它所造成的损失。
And of course, this is one way the whole thing could end.
当然,这是整个事情结束的一种方式。
Maybe it'll scare people off.
也许会吓跑人。
Oh, I saw my boyfriend.

Overnight, the road cleaners will come out with backhoes to clear the barricades.
一夜之间,道路清洁工就会拿着反铲铲出来清理路障。
They'll paint over the graffiti, fix the smashed street lights, tidy up the piles of bricks in the gutters, erasing their protests as they have so many days before, turning the city back to normal, except, of course, it can't be normal again.
他们会在涂鸦上涂漆,修好被打碎的路灯,清理排水沟里的砖块,像多天前一样消除抗议,让城市恢复正常,当然,除了,它不可能再恢复正常了。
