293 - A Little Bit of Knowledge
关键词:Family,LGBT,Dream 下崽:http://pan.baidu.com/s/1i3vLdB3 这期主要讲了当人们只知道片面的事实时,会发生的故事。开篇就提到人们往往会有一些知识盲区,可能从小就有的奇葩误区,会保留到长大。比如有人一直觉得unicorn是一种濒临灭绝的endangered species。。有人一直以为misled是misle的过去式。。很多人甚至会相信一些其实外人看来完全是nonsense的事情。 Act One提到的最让我动容的,是一个关于Tissue Box的故事,讲述一个穷人家孩子,妹妹和姐姐圣诞节收到了tissue box,妹妹看到这个ugly的盒子都快哭了,姐姐说这个盒子painted by trained monkeys。妹妹如何相信了十年,最后又了解到真相的。 后面提到:She had always been jealous of her sister, always wanted to be the big sister. But reading her sister's story that day made her realize how responsible her sister felt for her, and for their entire family, and how there were benefits to being the baby. It was good to learn all that. Act Two,讲述一对gay,在加州同志婚姻合法化后,家里人建议结婚,但是他们7岁的adopted son却不同意。因为这个小孩DJ知道有异性恋结婚后离婚的事。且听小孩最后又如何希望家里的两位爸爸结婚的。 “I changed my mind. Why? You and dad have to stay together forever. We will, I said. We love each other and always will. DJ sat up on the couch and looked me in the eye. I want you and Daddy to promise, to pinky promise, to seriously and forever promise, and no breaking your promise. You want us to get married then, I said. Yes. And there it was, my reward for a sleepless night. My son was giving me his blessing to marry. I'll tell Terry, I said. We'll see what Daddy says.” Act Three,讲述一个只有中学物理水平的Bob,突然有天“发现”爱因斯坦的相对论是错的,然后花了一年时间开始做他的研究验证自己的想法……在这里面,我觉得最动容的是他老婆的话: “I think it would be a huge blow to his ego. It wouldn't change anything for me, as far as how I feel about him. He'd still be Bob, and he'd still be the man I love, and I'd still be in love with him. You have got to love him, man. It's either you love him or hate them. It's like he can be an arrogant son of a bitch. You live with the good and the bad. There's so much more to him than that, than that uncombed and unkempt hair, and the fact that he doesn't keep doctors' appointments, or make them, which makes me the nagging, bitching wife, but that's OK. It's part of the package.” Act Four,一个McCullors式的故事。一个小孩从小就和外婆关系异常好,但有天她突然开始怀疑这个关系背后的意义……最终她伤害了这段感情。个人还是非常喜欢这个故事的,通过孩子的角度道出了成人关系中的问题。
