https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_a-S9fAznU A new video shows people in New York City walking right past and not recognizing loved ones sitting on the sidewalk and dressed as if they were homeless. Created for New York Rescue Mission's Make Them Visible project, the video includes the opening question 'Have the homeless become so invisible we wouldn't notice our own family members on the street?' Relatives were then captured on hidden camera walking past, as they believed they were going to an interview nearby for an upcoming 'documentary.' 在这支新YouTube影片中，纽约民众直接走过且完全未认出自己所爱的人就坐在人行道旁 并打扮成街友的模样。 这部为了「纽约救援任务」（New York Rescue Mission）慈善团体「让他们被看见」计 画所拍摄的影片，蕴含着一个重要问题「大众对街友是否已如此视而不见，甚至当自己的 家人流浪街头都不会发现？」 当亲属们认为自己将为一部即将上映的纪录片接受访问，隐藏摄影机将他们默默走过的画 面捕捉下来。 The sad truth about homelessness is that familiarity breeds invisibility. Even the most compassionate city-dwellers are likely to get inured to the sight of someone on the street who doesn’t look like they have anywhere else to go. Eventually, everyone tunes out--you can’t save the entire street no matter how much you care, so you put up a thousand-yard-stare defense. Still, the invisibility of homelessness is also one of the reasons that people who are in that position feel like they have such a hard time being treated as human beings--people look past them, rather than at them. 关於街友有个残酷的事实：熟悉导致无视。即使最富有同情心的市民也很可能早已习惯街 上有人看起来像是无家可归的景象。最终，所有人都会忽视──无论你多关心你也无法拯 救整条街的街友，所以你就以空洞无神的冰冷双眼筑起高墙。然而，对於流浪街头者的无 视正是他们感觉受到人道待遇极为艰难的原因之一──人们透视他们，而非直视。 -- 部落格 - http://solomonwolf.blogspot.tw FB - https://www.facebook.com/gosolomonwolf 个人网站 - http://solomonwolf.weebly.com --
