美國人談美國——司機眼中的工作與生活

瘋狂英語·口語版 2014年11期

斯特斯·特科爾(Studs Terkel),美國著名作家、歷史學家、電臺主持人。被尊稱為普通美國民眾心聲的記錄者。20世紀60年代末期是美國歷史上一個具有特殊意義的時代,民權運動、女權運動、學生運動、反戰運動以及形形色色的社會騷亂遍及全美。特科爾走上街頭,深入社會記錄美國人的心聲,他利用這些豐富的原始資料共完成了四部口述歷史著作:《狄維遜街(Division Street)》、《艱難時代:經濟大危機口述歷史( Hard Times: an Oral History of the Great Depression)》、《工作(Working)》和《美國夢尋(American Dreams, Lost and Found…)》。這些著作都屬于當時的暢銷書,也因為他所開創的這一新穎的“口述實錄體”所取得的巨大成績,他贏得了普利策獎。

今年是《工作》一書出版40周年,一些寶貴的原始錄音資料得以公開于世。本期《滋味人生》節選的采訪對象——接送車司機海倫·穆格(Helen Moog)本不在特科爾的計劃之內,一次機場接送的機緣巧合讓他記錄下熱愛工作的普通司機的普通生活。

Audie Cornish (Host): In the early 1970s, radio host and oral historian Studs Terkel went around the country, tape recorder in hand, interviewing people about their jobs.

Studs Terkel collected more than 130 interviews, and the result was a book published 40 years ago called “Working.” People talk about what they do all day and how they feel about what they do. And something very rare for an oral history collection—it became a best-seller. “Working” struck a nerve because it elevated the stories of ordinary people and the most ordinary parts of their daily lives.

After the book came out, the 1)cassettes were packed away in boxes and stored in Terkel’s home office, most of which have never been heard publicly.

Today, we bring you an excerpt. It’s a moment of 2)serendipity. Studs planned most of his interviews well

in advance, but one morning, he was in a taxi on the way to the airport in Youngstown, Ohio. The driver was a woman named Helen Moog, a grandmother of five. They began talking, and Studs Terkel quickly unpacked his tape recorder and microphone and began rolling.

(Soundbite of archived recording)

Studs Terkel: It’s about six o’clock, early morning, and I’m riding with Mrs. Moog—Mrs. Helen Moog—who’s a 3)limo driver, one of several drivers for this company.

Helen Moog: Yes, I am. Yes, I am.

Terkel: Now, I think as we’re heading now toward the airport at Youngstown—that sun is fantastic. We see part of the red, don’t we?

Moog: Yes, it is. That’s something that an artist can’t catch.

Terkel: How long have you been doing this work?

Moog: Well, I’ve been doing it for a couple years.

Terkel: Now, I come in the case with what my book is about…about you and what you’re doing now, as a 4)limousine driver. Before your work, most of your life was what?

Moog: Well, I did secretarial work, and when I was much younger, I did waitress work.

Terkel: Does the work day seem long?

Moog: Oh, surprisingly, not as long as you would think. First of all, I love to drive. And secondly, you make people from all walks of life. And many people have problems, but often times, it’s good to know they can talk to someone who’s a total stranger to them. They have a habit of 5)confiding in that person because they feel that they’ll never see the person again.

Terkel: So a lot of your passengers tell you things.

Moog: Oh, yes. Liking people—I think that’s what makes it really...

Terkel: Yeah. Before I pay you for the 6)cab, could you do this—describe a day from the moment you get up in the morning? Could you do that, you know? About what time would you say you get up in the morning usually?

Moog: Well, like, this morning I was up at five ’cause I had an early morning pick-up at six. So I came out. I see a beautiful sky and a beautiful sun, so I know I have a good day ahead of me.

Terkel: And you work from about five until when? When you get home?

Moog: Well, if I’m lucky, I’ll be home by 12:30.

Terkel: At night?

Moog: Mm-hmm.

Terkel: So there’s a good—that’s about 19 hours right there, isn’t it?

Moog: Something like that today. When I don’t have an early morning pick-up, I can average out around 12 hours.

Terkel: Do you look forward to retirement?

Moog: No. I’m scared of it. I don’t feel retirement is exactly the best of things for people. They—when you retire, you sort of go into a shell, and you’re like the forgotten person. You get 7)bogged down in nothing, and you do nothing, and you wind up nothing.

Terkel: Yeah. That’s interesting. So here you put in a minimum of 12 hours a day.

Moog: Right.

Terkel: Seven days a week.

Moog: Right. Oh, yeah.

Terkel: But you’d feel more tired...

Moog: ...If I didn’t.

Terkel: Yeah.

Moog: This is true ’cause when I’m not busy, I get very 8)weary. So if I was to retire, with nothing to do, I don’t think I could stand it.

Terkel: It’s work, though, that you see. Work is the 9)prime part of your life—work.

Moog: Yes, very much so. I think everything 10)hinges on it and doing a good job on it...

Terkel: Yeah.

Moog: ...’Cause I’m a firm believer if you’re going to do something, do it to the best of your ability, or don’t do it at all.

Terkel: Now, do you think a time will come, though, with automation and more and more machines that the hours will be shorter and shorter—people will have tremendous leisure time?

Moog: I’m afraid they will, and I’m afraid that it’s not for the best interest. 11)Idle hands make an idle mind, and I’m not in favor of the short hours. I think eight hours is fine. But like you say, automation will cut work down. It’ll also cut a lot of jobs down. And I read an article here not too long ago regarding this future. And I think it’ll also increase unemployment, unless they can come up with something else that would make for more employment. But which—who knows what it could be?

Terkel: We’re coming back to the question of work itself—work and life. You see the two connected, don’t you?

Moog: Very much so.

Terkel: Work and life.

Moog: They work 12)hand-in-hand.

Terkel: That’s why the hours, then, go fast for you.

Moog: I would say, yes. And people are interesting—no question. And when people say thank you for helping them, and you don’t even know how you have helped them, it really makes you feel nice inside. And I don’t think there’s anything that can take its place.

Terkel: Do you look forward to each day?

Moog: I do. I do because I never know what’s going to happen the next day. And it’s always interesting to find out. If you don’t go out there, you’re not going to find out by sitting at home.

奧迪·科尼什(主持人):20世紀70年代初期,身為電臺主持人和口述歷史學家的斯特斯·特科爾走遍全國,用手中的磁帶錄音機采訪各行各業的人們,了解他們的工作。

斯特斯·特科爾搜集了超過130個采訪,整理成書,于40年前出版,名為《工作》。人們談論他們一整天的工作以及他們對工作的感受。該書成為了暢銷書,這對一本口述歷史集來說極不尋常。《工作》觸及了讀者的神經,因為它著眼于普通人的生活,還有他們日常生活最普通的部分。

該書出版后,盒式錄音帶就被收藏在盒子里,保存在特科爾的家庭辦公室,大多數從未公開。

今天,我們帶來了一個選段。這是一個機緣巧合,斯特斯的大多數采訪都是提前計劃好的,但是一天早晨,他在俄亥俄州的揚斯敦坐上了前往機場的出租車。司機是一位名叫海倫·穆格的女士,她已是五個孩子的祖母。他們開始交談,很快斯特斯·特科爾打開他的磁帶錄音機和麥克風,開始錄下這段對話。

(存檔錄音片段)

斯特斯·特科爾:現在大約清晨六點,我坐在穆格女士的車上,海倫·穆格是一名接送車司機,是這家公司的幾名司機之一。海倫·穆格:是的,我是。是的,我是。特科爾:現在,我想我們在駛往揚斯敦的機場的路上——太陽真美,我們可以看到紅色的一部分,不是嗎?

穆格:是的,那是藝術家無法捕捉到的。

特科爾:你做這行多長時間了?

穆格:嗯,好幾年了。

特科爾:現在,我要進入我的書的主題,是關于……關于你和你現在的工作,接送車司機。在這份工作之前,你大部分的生活是怎樣的?

穆格:嗯,我做過秘書,再年輕點兒的時候做過服務員。

特科爾:一天的工作是不是很漫長?

穆格:哦,并不像你想的那樣漫長,這點會讓你吃驚。首先,我愛駕駛;其次,你接送各行各業的人們。許多人有各種各樣的麻煩事,但很多時候,知道他們能夠與完全陌生的人交談,這種感覺很好。他們習慣向那陌生人吐露心事,因為他們覺得彼此將永遠不會再見。

特科爾:所以很多乘客會向你說一些心事。

穆格:哦,是的。喜歡人們——我覺得那真的會……

特科爾:是的。在我付給你車費之前,你能做這個——描繪下從早上起床那刻起,你一天的生活嗎?你知道的,你可以描述下嗎?說說你早晨通常幾點起床?

穆格:嗯,比如,今天早上我五點起床,因為六點我有個清晨接送的活兒。所以我出來了。我看到美麗的天空、燦爛的太陽,所以我知道美好的一天在等待著我。

特科爾:你從大約五點工作到幾點?什么時候回到家?

穆格:嗯,如果幸運的話,十二點半能回到家。

特科爾:晚上?

穆格:嗯嗯。

特科爾:所以有——要工作大約十九個小時,不是嗎?

穆格:今天大概是這樣的。如果清晨沒有接送的話,我平均一天工作大約十二個小時。

特科爾:你想過退休嗎?

穆格:不。我害怕退休。我覺得退休對人們來說并不是最好的事情。他們——當你退休后,你就有點像鉆進一個殼里,你就像是被遺忘的人。你停滯不前,無所事事,一無所有。

特科爾:是啊,你的想法很有趣。那么你至少每天工作十二個小時。

穆格:對。

特科爾:一周七天。

穆格:對。哦,是的。

特科爾:但是你會覺得更累……

穆格:……如果我不工作的話。

特科爾:是的。

穆格:不忙的時候是這樣的,我覺得很疲憊。所以如果我要退休的話,無所事事,我想我會受不了的。

特科爾:但是這就是工作,你懂的。工作在你生活中排在首位。

穆格:是的,的確是這樣,我認為所有的事情都取決于工作和好好工作……

特科爾:是的。

穆格:……因為我堅信如果你要做一件事,就要全力以赴,否則干脆不做。

特科爾:但是現在,自動化和越來越多的機器使工作所需的時間越來越短,人們將擁有更多的閑暇時光,你認為這個時代即將到來嗎?

穆格:我想人們會擁有的,可我覺得那不是最好的。雙手閑下來了,思想也會閑下來,我不喜歡縮短時間。我覺得(工作)八小時很好。但是正如你所說,自動化會減少工作量,它同時也會減少就業機會。不久前我讀過一篇提到這些未來趨勢的文章。我認為這同時也會增加失業率,除非他們能在別的方面增加就業機會。但是,誰知道未來會怎么樣呢?

特科爾:我們回到工作本身的問題——工作和生活。你明白二者之間的聯系,不是嗎?

穆格:非常明白。

特科爾:工作和生活。

穆格:它們融為一體。

特科爾:所以時間對你來說,過得很快。

穆格:我想說,是的。毫無疑問,人們很有趣。當人們感謝你幫助他們時,你甚至不知道你如何幫過他們,這真的會讓你打心底里高興。我認為沒有什么可以代替這種感覺。

特科爾:你對每天都充滿期待嗎?

穆格:是的,我期待每天的到來,因為我永遠不知道第二天會發生什么,發現(未知)的過程總是很有趣。如果你不出去,坐在家里是永遠不會發現的。
