双语文本

In Squid Game Season 2, a character approaches homeless people and offers them two options --fresh bread or a lottery scratch card--with an overwhelming majority choosing the latter. In response, Gong Yoo's character dumps all the unchosen yet pristinebread onto the ground and stomps on them, drawing cries from the homeless people.

在《鱿鱼游戏》第二季中,一个角色走近无家可归的人,给他们两个选择——新鲜面包或彩票刮刮卡——绝大多数人选择了后者。作为回应,孔刘饰演的角色把所有未被选中但完好无损的面包倒在地上,然后踩踏,引得无家可归的人大叫。

It's a scene that illustrates the illusion of choice and how a system designed by those in power can cause those without power to make choices that go against their self-interest--much like the series of deadly games in the show.

这一幕说明了选择的幻觉,以及当权者设计的系统如何导致无权者做出违背自身利益的选择——就像节目中的一系列致命游戏一样。

Since the release of Squid Game 2, a few content creators throughout the world have recreated the scene in real life with seemingly homeless people--complete with the stomping.

自《鱿鱼游戏》第二季上映以来,世界各地的一些内容创作者在现实生活中重现了这一场景,角色有看似无家可归的人——还有踩踏的情节。

Their actions have drawn significant backlash but some viewers are questioning the criticism levied against the creators, arguing that the homeless people made their choice by opting forthe lottery ticket.

他们的行为引起了强烈的反对,但一些观众质疑对创作者的批评,认为无家可归的人选择彩票是他们的自由。

Framing the act of choosing the lottery ticket as the gotcha momentin these videos ignores the systemic injustice that led to the circumstances of the homeless in the first place.

这些视频将选择彩票的行为描述为陷阱时刻,忽略了导致无家可归者处境的系统性不公正。
