Chapter 24 Pick up trash

Paparazzi, Chinese translation of "Paparazzi".After all, the Hong Kong-style translation method is always inappropriate—although the word "paparazzi" vividly expresses Paparazzi's professional spirit of chasing after him with a super-sensitive sense of smell, but in my personal opinion, the Hong Kong "paparazzi" "Although most of them are thin, they don't always adopt labor-intensive operations. Therefore, a solo "paparazzi" cannot be called plural "paparazzi". The lone hero who fights the fire is called "the fire brigade", or "I am the country".Of course, the term "paparazzi" should not be turned into "I am a paparazzi" by itself. This is a self-"kawaii" beautification, and it is easy to provoke the resentment of dog lovers.

According to the prevailing interpretation, the Italian word Paparazzi comes from Fellini's 1960 work "La Dolce Vita".Masduani plays a reporter who specializes in high society lace news. This profession is called paparazzo in the movie, which is the singular form of paparazzi.I couldn't find a better word for a while, so "paparazzi" is now commonly used in the Chinese-speaking world.Someone once transliterated Paparazzi as "Papa Garbage".In my opinion, it is better to "papagarbage" than "papagarbage": firstly, it is more in line with the habit of Chinese word formation; The word does a good job of contemplating.

"Garbage" is not difficult to understand, the key lies in the gesture of "papa".Garbage is originally a pile of worthless things, once "picked up", there will be another pile of garbage, which will be torn out by the "pickpockets" for us to see, or, after reading it, we will tear it up by ourselves.If you feel that "picking up garbage" is not good enough, we can still learn from each other slowly.But I'm afraid I can't wait too long this time - last month, I read the headline "How far away are the paparazzi from us?" in a weekly magazine. "How far is the WTO from us?" or "How far is Bluetooth from us?"As we all know, in the context of Chinese media, "how far is it from us" is often a metaphor for "we are looking forward to it" or "we can't wait".In other words, China now also has garbage, and it is also worth "picking up".

The world we live in is like a dump?The only thing that is certain is that Chinese garbage has its own Chinese characteristics, Chinese taste and Chinese grilling methods.I found that compared with their counterparts in Hong Kong, Taiwan and foreign countries, the "garbage pickers" in mainland China have a higher realm: they always occupy a pre-empted moral height, and pick up condescendingly.What's more interesting is that no matter in terms of professional ethics or professional ethics, "pickpockets" who should be invisible are always keen to "pick" themselves into part of the garbage, making "pickpocketing" a part of the garbage. color. "Unannounced visits by reporters" is currently the most popular Chinese "snacking method".This kind of "unannounced visit" that fills the newspapers actually has a fixed pattern: before entering a certain "immoral trading platform", the reporter must pretend to be innocent and at the same time show a slightly evil curiosity, and enter the trading platform. After the procedure, he changed into a foolish look asking questions, and once he entered Hong Kong, he would take the opportunity to sneak away.I would like to use an article from a Chongqing newspaper to analyze it: a reporter pushed open the door of a certain teahouse and "looked in". Suddenly, a "middle-aged man grabbed the reporter and dragged him into the teahouse." The lady suddenly grabbed the reporter's hand and pulled it towards his chest, and then pressed her face... The reporter walked out of the teahouse, and the lady followed her, and (pushed the reporter) into a hotel room outside the door. 'Have sex with me!' The lady blurted out after closing the door, and started to unbutton her trousers. "What are you doing?" The reporter scolded, but she pushed her down on the double bed. In the panic of the reporter, she had already taken off her trousers to her knees."

To be honest, every time I read this kind of report, I always sweat for the reporter who performed Gandhi-style self-test from beginning to end.Responding to Fellini's own words: "I am eager to please people, attract people's attention and educate others. Make myself a prophet, a witness, and a clown who wakes up the world." In contrast, another pure The paparazzi's "snacking method" is not only unprofessional, but also obviously treats the vast number of garbage consumers as fools.A TV station in Shanghai broadcasted a news story, and saw a reporter "suddenly" breaking into a KTV surrounded by a large number of police officers. The guests and girls all sat obediently in their places to accept the reporter's interview, and kept on being broken into. After entering the previous posture and figure, the reporter stretched out the microphone to a young lady who was sitting on the lap of a customer covering her face: "Why do you sit on his lap?"

"No, I just want to see the brand of his shirt." Last Christmas, Zhao Wei and Wu Dawei were photographed "hiding in a dark corner and kissing passionately" by the Hong Kong paparazzi in Fuxing Park in Shanghai.Afterwards, Zhao's nanny explained that the kiss was just to keep each other warm--I never tried to make a horizontal connection between the two things that happened in Shanghai. What I want to say is that the Hong Kong "paparazzi" The targets of the company are celebrities, while their counterparts in the mainland prefer to pick up "less popular garbage". As a loyal reader of gossip news, I have always followed my personal garbage classification method in an environmentally friendly way: the latter cannot be recycled, The former can be recycled. What I respect more are those "pickers" who specialize in picking up recyclable garbage. Only in this way can "picking up garbage" be completely informal from skill to spirit. Besides, the original meaning of Parazzi is actually "tracking Although they don’t necessarily regard the US spy satellites as “space garbage”, they might as well respect Mr. Chen Julai, who is the most readable in “Vientiane”, as a “literary and historical paparazzi”.
