Step 6: Translate
不久前,我还认为观众只有两种:那些只在听不清对白时才打开字幕的人,以及那些毫无理
由也要看字幕的“庸俗附庸风雅者”。我曾坚决捍卫这一观点,甚至愿意为此“战死山头”——
我争辩说,屏幕底部的文字会偷走视听体验的纯粹:摄影师精心打造的细节、演员眼角隐约的泪
光、一个恰到好处停顿后抛出的妙语,等等。
学科网(北京)股份有限公司外刊阅读
然而,最新数据却让我发现自己守的是一座空城。2021年的一项调查显示,18-25岁观众中
有80%“总是”或“经常”使用字幕;流媒体U平台2023年的新调查更指出,87%的英国年轻人
使用字幕的频率比过去更高。在我的同龄人中,曾经的“两类人”已几乎变成“一类人”。(与
此同时,同一份2021年调查发现,婴儿潮一代使用字幕的比例不足四分之一,尽管他们整体听力
问题更多。)
为什么我这个年纪的人如此热衷字幕?即便没有听力障碍,且对话语言流利,字幕究竟有什
么吸引力?一个轻松的假设是:这源于短暂的注意力、被动和懒惰,是“僵尸世代”的失败。但
亲身体验告诉我,开启字幕并不会助长“懒惰观看”,反而像一次更快的信息下载。年轻人中
“字幕常开”的新常态,既反映了价值观的转变,也体现了科技巨头对我们娱乐体验“步步侵
蚀”后的文化规训。
例如,客厅的大屏幕不得不与膝上的微屏幕抢风头。U调查显示,80%的Z世代和千禧一代
在观看时会“双屏”。打开字幕后,我能迅速扫完一句台词,低头看手机回消息,再抬头时角色
还没说完。于是,观看体验变得“多面”且高效。字幕让我们能刷手机,同时仍吸收节目的内容
与主旨。
当然,这也意味着字幕成了“微型剧透”:最近看一段喜剧小品时,我还没听到大卫·米切尔
说出口,就已半心半意地笑了——因为我已在屏幕上读到了那句台词。看大多数节目时,我无需
动用“灰色细胞”,但少数像《继承之战》这样的剧,双屏简直就是暴殄天物。即便我靠阅读成
功吸收每一句台词,也会错过精彩的表演;而《爱情岛》则不然(不过那里的表演水准 arguably
也挺高)。
社交媒体更是把字幕使用推向全线。如今,大多数创作者给视频加文字 caption 已成默认,
观众无法关闭。这一文化转变或许解释了代际差距:年轻观众只被“快剪+快闪文字”安抚,他们
能以更高速度吸收轻量内容,而文字 caption 正好允许如此。
这已不只是潮流,而是嵌在算法里的“功能”。文字 caption 而非纯对话,能让视频在
TikTok 搜索里更易“冒出”,提高曝光、观看时长和留存。它起初是无障碍改进,但迅速普及却
说明其商业属性——它是获得甜蜜算法助推的关键。85%的社交媒体视频如今静音观看(通勤、
做饭、跑步机或合租屋),再加 AI 生成字幕无需人工转写,于是我们活在一个“字幕环绕”的
世界——一个常常翻译拙劣、质量低、错误百出的世界。
由此看来,字幕被正常化,是我们科技渗透生活方式的结果,而非我们主动或自由选择。我
的室友热衷 TikTok,曾说字幕分散注意力,后来却渐渐在看电视时也打开。“我觉得整个过程很
被动,”她说,“我好像大部分时间并没在看字幕。”那为何还开着?她耸耸肩:“不知道。”
令人惊讶的是,字幕并未被证明能提高年轻人的阅读能力,尽管有研究显示它能增进对节目
内容的理解。可以说,字幕比无字幕更能让我们跟上剧情。如今,我们的电视习惯受社交媒体
“效率需求”的移植——先快速提取必要内容,然后继续下一条。2023年一项调查中,40%的美
国人将“增强理解”列为使用字幕的首要原因。
我不禁问:现在人们看剧,只是为了知道发生了什么,以证明自己“看过”吗?从何时起,
我们下班回到家,瘫在沙发上,心里想的竟是“谢天谢地,今晚终于可以理解点内容了”?电视
本该带来乐趣,难道我们不该专注于享受它吗?
