翻译来源:煎蛋网 Russian “Rich Brat” Offers People Money to Humiliate Themselves in Public
Grigory Mamurin, grandson of Russian multi-millionaire Igor Neklyudov, is making waves for his bizarre display of wealth. The 16-year-old made a video of himself asking people to perform humiliating tasks like stripping in public and drinking his urine in exchange for huge sums of money. Most people walked away while some accepted the challenge, but one man was so angered by the suggestion that he punched the rich kid in the face。
俄罗斯亿万富翁Igor Neklyudov的外孙Grigory Mamurin因花样炫富而出名。这位16岁的少年拍摄了一段羞辱人的视频,视频中的他让人执行一系列侮辱人的任务,比如当众脱衣服或喝下他的尿来交换巨额金钱。大部分人走开了,而有些人接受了挑战,还有一名男子倍感屈辱从而揍了这位富三代一拳。
The video, shot in Moscow’s Gorky Park, has gone viral with over one million views on YouTube. It starts with Grigory sitting in his expensive Mercedes limousine, talking to his audience. “Today we have come to Gorky Park in order to find out how much humiliation people are ready to experience for the sake of money,” he says。
视频拍摄于莫斯科高尔基公园,在YouTube上面已有一百多万点击量。刚开始Grigory坐在他那昂贵的奔驰轿车里,对观众说:“今天我们将来到高尔基公园,了解人们为了金钱究竟能放弃多少自尊。”
He then proceeds to ask several passersby if they would consider drinking a glass of urine if he paid them 10,000 to 15,000 roubles ($200 to $300). Many of them walk away, disgusted. But one man finally stops, ostensibly tempted by the wad of cash in Grigory’s hand. He finally succumbs and ends up chugging a jar of Grigory’s urine, gagging and spluttering the whole time. There’s also a woman in the video who strips in a busy square, in exchange for money。
接着他询问不少路人如果他给他们1万到2万卢布,他们是否愿意喝下一杯他的尿液。许多路人走开了,倍感恶心。而一名男子最终停了下来,似乎是被Grigory手里的现金打动了。最后他屈服了,喝下了一罐Grigory的尿液,整个过程都在作呕。还有一名女子为了换钱而在大庭广众之下脱衣服。
The highlight of the footage is a man seated on a park bench, who is clearly not impressed by Grigory’s offer. He punches the teenager squarely in the face, knocking him down to the ground. The video ends with Grigory and his friend buying two 2,500-rouble jars of raw red caviar for a couple of homeless men who have to eat all of it to get their financial reward. It’s pretty sick stuff…
视频的高潮是一名坐在公园长凳上的男子,他对Grigory的提议丝毫不感兴趣。他打了这个孩子的脸,将他揍倒在地上。视频结尾Grigory和他的朋友买了两罐价值2500卢布的生红鱼子酱给一些无家可归的人,吃完的人能获得最终的金钱奖励。这真是令人恶心……
Grigory, who compares himself with famous filmmaker Steven Spielberg, said: “I wanted to do something interesting, that people would like, something unusual. This is how the project was born, it shows what our society is ready to do for the sake of money. It has elements of show。”
Grigory将自己比作著名导演斯皮尔伯格,他说:“我想做一些有趣的事,一些人们会喜欢且不同寻常的事。因此出现了这个计划,它表明我们的社会为了金钱愿意付出一切。”
Not many people who watched the video could see his point, though. Several commenters condemned him for his actions. “I think this guy should visit a psychiatrist – he suffers from sadism,” one person wrote。
当然,并非所有看过该视频的人都能发现Grigory所要展示的重点。不少人批判他的行为,有人说“我认为这个家伙应该去看精神病医生,他是个虐待狂。”也有人说“我只希望没有大学愿意接收他。”“Grigory,风水轮流转,终有一天你也会喝别人的尿,乞讨并死于饥饿,因为此生你已享受了一切。”
“I only hope now no single University will take him,” said another。
“The day will come and you, Grigory, will drink somebody’s urine, beg for money and die from hunger, because in this life you have to pay for everything。”“I don’t understand why people are so negative about me,” Grigory said, reacting to the criticism his video has attracted online. “We have seen similar shows on MTV, various practical jokes. I don’t get why it is a problem about me?” He also added that he was spending his “pocket money,” and not his parents’ money. “Of course, originally this is their money but this is also my savings. I got the money from my parents for my birthdays and saved quite a lot。”
“It is also a joint project, the money of my friends is here too. It is not like ‘Granddad, gives me 100,000 roubles and I will make people drink urine. My crews consists of me, plus cameraman, and a man who advertises, and another who helps with ideas。”
Grigory说:“我不明白为何人们对我有这么多差评。我们也在MTV上看过类似的秀。我不知道为何我这样做就不行?”他还表示他花的是自己的零花钱,不是他父母的钱。他表示:“当然,最开始可能是他们给了我这些钱,可这也是我的存款。我生日的时候收到了父母给的钱,攒了很多。这也是个联合计划,我的朋友也出了钱。我的小组有我、摄像师、负责打广告的人以及另外一个帮忙想办法的人。”
Unfortunately, Grigory’s parents and grandfather don’t find the video amusing. “I should say they do not approve of it,” he said. “But they don’t stop me. This is a rule in our family – even if you do not approve of something, you must respect what the others do. I can go on with the project。”
不幸的是,Grigory的父母和外祖父母并不认为他拍摄的视频很了不起。Grigory说:“我应该说他们不赞成我拍摄这个视频。但他们没阻止我。这是我们家族的规矩,就算你不赞成某事,你也应该尊重别人的选择。因此我才得以继续我的项目。”
But his grandfather’s views on the subject are entirely different. “Igor does not like publicity and he is absolutely against the idea of his grandchildren being popular like this,” a person close to the family said. “His daughter Larisa has already caught hell from him over her son’s behavior. Neklyudov has ordered her to bring Grigory back to Khabarovsk urgently. He will continue studies at home where his granddad can watch him。”
Grigory’s plans remain unchanged, though. He intends to release a follow-up video in that features “a girl who agreed to lick the bottom of my boot from one end to the other for 10,000 roubles。” He clarified that his intention isn’t to criticise the people in his videos, but to understand that each of them has a “problem that makes them do this。”
“I do not criticise these people. I think each of them has problems which makes them do this,” Mamurin said. “We don’t know what we would have done if we had had the same problems. If to talk about me – I don’t think I was ever in a situation when I would drink urine。”
但Grigory家族的一个近亲透露说:“Grigory的外祖父Igor并不喜欢宣传,他反对他的外孙做这种事情。Igor还令他的女儿立即将Grigory带回来,Grigory将待在他外祖父的眼皮子底下学习。”
Grigory的计划并未改变。他还打算放出该视频的续集。一名愿意将他的靴子从这头舔到那头的女孩将获得一万卢布。他表示他的本意并非批判这些人,而是试图去理解他们。
Grigory说:“我并不是要批判这些人。我认为每个人都有自己的难处。我不知道如果我们面临着同样的问题会怎么做。不过我认为我不会沦落到要喝别人尿的地步。”
