日本之耻（2018）

《这个世界》
我们相识于一间酒吧
I met him in a bar.
我记得之后在谷歌♥上搜了他
I remember googling him aferwards,
看到他和首相会谈
and I saw him talking with Prime Ministers,
我有点吃惊
so that surprised me.
我想冷静讨论此事 因此给你发这封邮件
发件人 伊藤诗织 2015年4月18日
你在我失去意识后与我发生了性行为
我记得山口先生说
I remember Mr. Yamaguchi saying,
“我们一直在招实习生”
“We are always looking for interns.”
发件人 山口敬之 2015年4月18日
我觉得我们都得反省一下
我当时也烂醉如泥
再加上像你这么漂亮的女人半裸着跑到我床上
就会发生一些事情
如果我指控这样的人物
If I accuse someone like that,
可能就再也没有工作机会了
maybe I won’t be able to work again.

你说’强♥奸♥’是什么意思
我绝对不会接受这个说法
如果你想诉诸法律 去吧
你绝无胜算

这是我第一次为了自己的案子出庭
This is my first time, that I go to court for my case.
我有点紧张
I’m a little bit nervous.
如果那人决定来 那他就会在那
If the guy decided to come, he would be there,
这将是我两年来第一次
This would be my first time to face this person
和他面对面
after these two years.
2015年 25岁的伊藤诗织发起强♥奸♥指控
In 2015, 25-year-old Shiori Ito filed rape charges
被告为48岁的山口敬之
against 48-year-old Noriyuki Yamaguchi,
日本知名记者
a prominent journalist in Japan.
今天 等待两年多后
Today, more than two years later,
她准备第一次出庭
she is preparing for her first day in court.
哪条路最快 我赶时间
有点堵车
在日本 很少有人会提出
In Japan, people rarely come forward
性侵指控
with allegations of sexual assault.
诗织是极少数会告上法庭的人之一
Shiori is part of a tiny minority who take their cases to court.
非常感谢
2017年5月 诗织的强♥奸♥指控公开后
In May 2017, Shiori shocked Japan
全日本为之震惊
when she went public with rape allegations.
舆♥论♥两极分化 很多人就是不相信她
It polarized public opinion, and many just didn’t believe her.
但对其他人来说 她成了巾帼英雄
But for others, she has become a heroine.
你不是诗织小姐吗
好幸运 我是你的忠实粉丝
真的吗
我一直在网上关注你
脸书上
是嘛
-祝你好运 -谢谢你
好运 好远
好运
非常感谢
人们在照片里给你的印象
和他们本人对不上
她不是那个被强♥奸♥的诗织小姐吧
她不是那个被强♥奸♥的吧
就是她
那是她吗 真的吗
诗织
她走了吗
你该告诉我她是那个被强♥奸♥的女孩 我不知道啊
我想出庭旁听
那叫什么”TooMe”那个带#的
你是说”#MeToo”啊
就是那个 #MeToo #MeToo
日本在这件事上远远落后 不是吗
#MeToo运动在日本还没起步
警方记录在案的强♥奸♥指控数量
英国 每百万人510件
来源 联♥合♥国♥毒品和犯罪问题办公室
日本 每百万人10件
日本的性产业高度发达
Japan is a very sexual society.
任何一间售卖♥♥体育报刊的书报亭
You can go buy a sports newspaper at any kiosk,
都张贴着口♥交♥小广♥告♥
it will list where are the best places to get a blow job,
或是大保健宣传♥单♥
or who is doing the best sexual massage.
任何你想要的性服务
Any sexual service that you possibly want,
都可以在日本买♥♥到
you can buy in Japan.
可谈到约会强♥奸♥ 或者性骚扰
But to talk about date rape, or sexual assault,
杰克·艾德尔斯坦
罪案调查记者
《读卖♥♥新闻》
连脱口秀都会有意回避
it is not something that is even on talk show fodder.
没有人会公开谈论它们
You don’t see open discussions about that.
英国的强♥奸♥指控数量是日本的50倍
Rape is alleged in the UK 50 times more often than in Japan.
部分观点认为这体现了
Some claim this shows
女性在日本是多么安全
how safe the country is for women.
但活动家们说这只是因为
But campaigners say it’s because
女性不敢站出来发声
women are simply too scared to come forward.
尽管已经是世界上最发达的国家之一
Despite being one of the most advanced nations in the world,
日本的强♥奸♥法案可追溯至1907年
Japan’s rape laws date back to 1907,
已经一个多世纪没有过变化
and didn’t change for more than a century.
这可真够久远的
是很久了
如此久远的原因是在日本
后藤弘子
法学教授
千叶大学
历来不把对女性施暴看作严重的社会问题
直到去年 日本的强♥奸♥罪
Until last year, the crime of rape in Japan
最低量刑刑期比偷窃罪还短
had a shorter minimum sentence than theft.
人们会说 忘记吧 装作什么都没发生过
大家总说受害者是自作自受
纽约
诗织初见山口敬之
Shiori met Noriyuki Yamaguchi
是她2013年在纽约读新闻学时
while she was studying journalism in New York in 2013.
我想那是秋天
I think it was autumn.
我大二

He was with four or five different people, drinking.
遇见这样的知名人物令人兴奋
It was quite shocking to meet someone very high profile,
更何况我一直想成为他这样的记者

所以我对他满怀崇敬
So I had so much respect.
山口先生时任一家日本电视台
Mr. Yamaguchi was Washington bureau chief
华盛顿分社社长
for a Japanese broadcaster at the time.
他让我有什么需要就联♥系♥他

更因为他是首相安倍晋三的传记作者
On top of that, he was a biographer of Shinzo Abe, the Prime Minister.
以和安倍先生关系密切而著称
He was known to be relatively close to Mr. Abe,
他们经常来往
that he had spent a lot of time with him,
一起打高尔夫
had golfed with him.
安倍的传记非常正面
The biography was very positive.
所以 我想 很多人是因为
So, I think, a lot of the allegations
二人之间的亲密关系
that there had been some political interference
质疑此事存在政♥治♥干预
come from the closeness of that relationship.
他们认识以后 诗织给山口先生发了几次电邮
After they met, Shiori e-mailed Mr. Yamaguchi
询问可能的工作机会
about possible work several times.
2015年3月 她从东京联♥系♥他
In March 2015, she contacted him from Tokyo
寻求华盛顿的工作机会

我发电邮问他
I e-mailed him saying,
你们招实习生吗

他说 “当然
And he said, “Of course.
实习生我们一直在招
If it’s interns, we’re always looking for someone.
不过我们还有个制片人的职位空缺
But we also have a job opening for producer.
你有兴趣吗”
Are you interested?”
我当时 兴奋极了 因为

当然有兴趣 太棒了

原定吃饭的地方
we were planning to eat.
你能陪我喝几杯吗
Can you just stay with me for a couple of drinks
然后我们再转场
