鄭淵潔“說話嚴謹”上熱搜,網友:他的評論區好有趣

推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 2.61W 次

最近,“童話大王”鄭淵潔在社交媒體上火了。他因爲在評論區和網友的有愛互動,頻繁登上熱搜。

鄭淵潔這個名字幾乎存在於每個80後和部分90後的童年裏,這位“童話大王”曾於2011年登上作家富豪榜第三位。

Over the past four decades, Zheng has published countless tales, including the well-known “Pipi Lu” and “Lu Xixi” stories. He has a reputation as a writer whom the whole family can enjoy reading.
過去四十年裏,鄭淵潔出了數不清的童話,包括大家熟知的《皮皮魯傳》和《魯西西傳》。他的作品家喻戶曉,一家老小都喜歡讀。

影響深遠的不僅僅是他的作品,更有他的爲人。網友找出他2017年的微博,好奇他爲什麼不與地鐵上讀着自己書的小朋友打招呼,後來才發現他的“嚴謹”和慈愛(時年62歲)。

如今長大成人的小讀者們親切地叫他“鄭爺爺”,他們發現鄭淵潔的微博評論區“沒有吵架和陰陽怪氣”,只有有愛的互動。

鄭淵潔“說話嚴謹”上熱搜,網友:他的評論區好有趣

他連送祝福都這樣嚴謹又可愛:


看着這些評論彷彿讓人“回到了看着童話書無憂無慮的童年”。


他用一顆童心待人,卻並沒有把讀者當成幼兒。寫故事時,他並不會潤色粉飾來騙小孩。

普林斯頓大學Cotsen兒童圖書館在其官方博客上介紹了鄭淵潔的性教育著作《你從哪裏來?我的朋友》。


Where Are You from, My Friend, a comic-style sex instruction book for ages 3-13 hopes to win parents’ trust with the statement that its author Zheng Yuanjie, China’s most famous fairy tale writer, prepared the manuscript originally to educate his own son.
據稱中國最著名的童話作家鄭淵潔把教育自己兒子的性教育材料整理爲手稿,出版成了書籍《你從哪裏來?我的朋友》,這本漫畫風格的書瞄準3-13歲兒童,希望獲得家長的信賴。

對比起另一本涉嫌貶低女性小便姿勢的性教育童書,該博文讚賞了鄭淵潔的寫法。

In contrast, Zheng Yuanjie’s Where Are You from, My Friend turns the narrative around on one occasion at least. A boy is curious why there are no urinals in women’s bathrooms. He is informed that, because girls don’t have penises, they don’t need the fixture to prevent splashing. Thank you, Zheng Yuanjie, for telling the truth.
相比之下,鄭淵潔的《你從哪裏來?我的朋友》至少在一件事上轉變了常見的敘事方法。一個男生很好奇爲什麼女衛生間裏沒有站立小便器。有人告訴他,因爲女生沒有陰莖,不需要小便器這樣的固定設計來防止尿液四濺。謝謝你鄭淵潔,告訴了我們真相。

縱觀他的作品,豆瓣評分基本都超過8.5分,每本書都能獲得數萬條評價。

不妨一起回顧一下他帶給我們的童年故事吧。

Pipilu is a typical naughty child, but he is also righteous, kind, courageous and responsible. He is always bold and often does things unimaginable. Once he made a double-bang firecracker with bamboo and flew to the sky.
皮皮魯是一個常規定義下淘氣、調皮的孩子,但這並不妨礙他正直善良,勇敢有擔當。他從小就膽大,經常做出一些常人無法想象的事情,有次過春節他居然自制了一個竹竿二踢腳,巨大的“二踢腳”帶着他飛上了天空。

He makes so many adventures, like changing the way people live by adjusting the clock of the earth, meeting Uncle Hat and taking part in melon seeds cracking competition, getting caught in Three-eyed Kingdom and becoming a "minister". With the help of Uncle Hat, he learns driving and then comes across noctambulant animals. All these experiences teach him not to bully girls or adventure blindly, not being snobbish or tell lies, and to be honest with friends.
皮皮魯一路奇遇,撥動了地球之鐘改變了人們的正常生活,又遇到瓜皮帽叔叔參加了嗑瓜子比賽,誤入三眼國被抓了,還當上了“部長”。在瓜皮帽叔叔的幫助下學會了開車後遇到了動物園裏夢遊的動物們。這些童話般的經歷,讓他在過程中體會了不要欺負女生、不盲目冒險、不勢力眼、不說假話、對待朋友要真誠等等道理。

Luxixi, No.1 female figure in Zheng Yuanjie's fairy tale, is the twin sister of Pipilu. She is cute, kind, smart and studious, quite different from her brother in many ways. But she is righteous and courageous just like her brother.
鄭淵潔童話中的女一號:魯西西,她是皮皮魯的雙胞胎妹妹。魯西西乖巧善良、聰明好學,和哥哥皮皮魯性格截然不同。但是,身爲女孩子的魯西西也和哥哥一樣充滿了正義感和勇氣。


Shuke the pilot and Beta the tanker, who were supposed to be villains don't want to be little mice living unearned lives anymore. Instead, they want to get food through hard working and win friends by helping them first. They change their bad image with real actions and eventually win the friendship of all. Mice Shuke and Beta can be seen the synonyms of justice and kindness.
飛行員舒克和坦克手貝塔本是過街人人喊打的普通鼠輩,偏偏不甘於只做壞名聲不勞而獲的小老鼠,他們用勞動收穫食物,用樂於助人收穫朋友,用實際行動改變着人們對老鼠的壞印象,也最終收穫了所有大朋友、小朋友的喜愛和友誼。所謂“英雄不論出處”,鼠籍出身的舒克和貝塔,也能成爲正義、善良的代名詞。

鄭淵潔的個人成就早已有目共睹——連續31年爲月刊雜誌《童話大王》供稿而手握世界紀錄,筆下的皮皮魯、魯西西、舒克、貝塔等角色深深影響3代人,作爲首位中國作家獲得聯合國授予的國際版權創意金獎……汶川和玉樹地震期間,他還曾捐款150萬元給當地兒童。


支撐起這些的,是浮華背後細膩溫柔且強大的內心——對社會有冷靜的體察,對人又有平等的關愛。

中國國際廣播電臺(CRI)在報道里稱:

[He] likes to be alone and refuses to have any relationship with literary circles or the various associations of writers. To him, his imagination works best in his own world.
他樂於獨處,不愛與文學圈或者各種作家協會產生聯繫。對他來說,他的想象力只有在他自己的世界裏才能大放異彩。
