如果你想引人注意的话,大白菜就是你的宠物。
This is the pet for you if you want to get a head.
上周摄影机构Europics称,中国青年在北京迷笛音乐节“遛白菜”是为了缓解孤单、释放压力。但是据网站That's Mag称,“遛白菜”仅仅是行为艺术表演。
Photo agency Europics claimed last week that teenagers photographed at Beijing's Midi Music Festival "walking" cabbages on leashes were doing so as a means to cope with loneliness and depression. However, according to That's Mag, the cabbage-walking was merely a performance art piece.
这场行为艺术是由中国艺术家韩冰的作品衍生出来的,韩冰的系列摄影“遛白菜”记录了他在不同地点“遛白菜”的场景。
The performance was based on the work of Chinese artist Han Bing, whose photo series, "Walking the Cabbage," depicted him dragging a leashed cabbage in various locations.
据Europics 称,迷笛音乐节上的青年告诉记者“遛白菜”能帮助他们处理情感上的问题。
According to Europics, the teens in the photographs at the Midi festival told reporters that walking cabbages helped them cope with emotional problems.
17岁的陈璐佳(音译)这样说道:“我觉得自己的负面情绪可以转移到白菜上,遛着白菜走一圈再回家让我感觉好多了。”
"I feel I can transfer my negative thoughts about myself to the cabbage, go for a walk with it and come home feeling better about myself," 17-year-old Lui Ja Chen was quoted as saying.
目前尚不清楚这些青年是否真得认为“遛白菜”有治疗作用,还是只是应付记者随便说说。
It's unclear whether the teens really saw some therapeutic benefit to the cabbage-walking, or they were just messing with reporters.
另一位17岁的少年孙达夏(音译)说:“白菜比父母更能让我感兴趣,我觉得白菜懂我。”
Another 17-year-old, Da-Xia Sung, reportedly said "I have more interest for my cabbage than I do my parents. I feel it understands me."
