透明家庭第一季

一开始只是看着集数少才开始看的，没想到会这么有感触。

一开始其实剧情简介也没好好看，只是大概知道这是一家怪人。父亲变性，喜剧。好像是这样。

然而看过之后怎么都想不明白这怎么被分到了喜剧呢。也有几个笑出来的地方，可是明明见到的都是他们生活中的悲伤。

而且真实极了。

变性的父亲从很久之前就隐藏自己，回忆与现实的交错穿插的很巧妙。过去的回忆是打开现在的钥匙，第八集的整集回忆让我看到从他们的从前见到了他们的“此刻”。Josh跟着Rita出门，取消了成人礼只剩一个人的Ali，和积极活泼是那时候就出现喜欢女生征兆的大姐，终于成为maura的父亲却发现自己仍然不属于这里。那个夏天，有些事情或许就已经注定。

最初被感动是在mappa去洗手间的时候，大姐为了她跟别人吵架。她是女人，她有权利在这里。她是我父亲。

大姐说你们怎么不想想她怎么忍耐了这么久。

ed临终前的画面和孩子们第一次与ed相遇的回忆画面出现让我瞬间泪目。

Ali的好朋友有点犹豫的说出，从八年级开始，我对你就不是朋友的感觉。

len拉起大姐对他说他不要做地下情人。他想过和助手上床，可是他没有。这就是他和她的区别。

Josh看着自己之前就想要的儿子说，我很混乱，我不确定你会不会喜欢我。儿子说你知道，无论如何我都会喜欢你的。看到这里有点心酸。

母亲一直都是有点不靠谱的样子，却在ed临终前爆发。只有父亲真的是去看她，三个孩子，没有一个人在乎她的感受。

葬礼上矛盾爆发。父亲问Ali，你喜欢我吗，如果我不给你钱，你会见我吗。

大姐在感情中焦虑，Josh有“爱瘾症”，Ali无所事事一事无成。每个人都是有这样那样的问题，却都有可爱之处。大姐的果断勇敢，Josh努力面对真爱，Ali会为了ed的失踪认真着急。

LGBTQ常常痛苦，他们的家人朋友在某种程度上也承受着相关的痛苦。


悲伤处处都有，但总不会全是。这不就是人生的缩影吗。

像一部五小时的长电影 画面是灰青色的 虽然不是我一贯喜欢的色调但是却完全被吸引 每个人都在用自己的认知去建构整个家庭 可是家庭总是充满秘密 我们总以为已经足够了解终日陪伴于侧的家人 可是完整的真实的自我似乎并不存在于家庭之中 当有天家人决定要做回真实的自已时引起的种种角色冲突 认知失调的矛盾我们该如何处理呢？不断地回到家庭 不断地重新理解家庭 去寻找真相 这份真实可能会让人暂时心绪不宁 但我相信最终我们会更加平静

聊一下这个片子。前两年，别人问我美剧有什么不好，我可能会声讨一下美国那种大而化一的模范价值观吧。虽然有很多像美国丽人那样的美国本土电影已经把这个东西损透了，但是美国主流文化还是日复一日地重复着他们所谓的正统思想。什么是正统思想？其实就是一种积极阳光的成功哲学。这种想法本身没什么可说的，想一下哪个世界阴暗的角落不需要让励志鸡汤来帮持一把。但实际上，让所有社会上的人都朝着一个方向努力，最后达到一个非常完整人生的这种中产阶级之梦有着许多副作用。比如，在急功近利的同时，“完美”是最重要的，然而这种具有统一定义的完美并不是每个个体内心真正想要的。也就是说，为了达到这种主流价值观的要求，很多人会牺牲掉自己的幸福。如果留心的话就会发现，这中价值观的插入停留在很多电影电视里面，故事虽然俗套但是却被大众更易接受，何乐而不为呢？

但是不管怎么说，社会确实一直都在对以前进行着反思。对于美国来说，反叛性的电影小说音乐战后进入了黄金期，成了比较主流的边缘文化。电视剧则面向大众，这方面发展缓慢不级英国。

这部之所以出彩里一个重要的原因就是对美国以往的“完美”似生活的突破，编剧真是用心了。一般这种突破都是下一代比如把家里的儿子写成同性恋，儿子来和自己的父母在这些问题上进行冲突，而且儿子还不能是故事的核心，而是作为一个配角也就是一个边缘存在着。这种画风是几乎全部覆盖，就连专门做为同性恋电视剧的queer as folk都不能免俗。虽然以同性恋为中心，但是里面的男主却与直男的性格无比相似。以这种无比男人无比阳刚的出现在一部同志剧里无非是想去迎合主流价值观，收到更多人的接受。但是transparent真的在这方面无比无比的牛逼，编剧然最为争议最为让人无法接受的角色按在了父亲的身上，让他成为她，不是作为喜欢男人而是自我性别定义为女人的中老年男子当做主角。这样一来，LGBT不再是与父母反抗的儿女，而是他们自己的父亲。这就是编剧想告诉美国人民，并不是现在文化造成你们的孩子和别人不同。他们捅破了这层窗户纸，肯定让很多人都接受不了，而我却觉得实在是痛快非常，可歌可泣。

第二个出彩的因素就是四个字“不卑不亢”。这点实际上是super cool！太多太多的歇斯底里了，关于边缘人主题而言简直就是过度消费，为了基情而激情，专门拍给少不更事的腐女看。然而这部，作为漩涡中心的主人虽然要按照自己的方式成为女人，却是全剧最冷静最睿智最处事不惊的一个人，具备着最为完整的人类情感。一旦到了这份儿上，你要是再去怀着好奇之心去怜悯人家，就是你的见识短浅了。

既然是家庭剧，就还得说一下别的角色，也就是男（女）主那三个孩子。

大姐，要强，出色一直顺风顺水，知道遇到中年危机。这里的中年危机是年龄上的，她失去了与丈夫之间的感觉，又被工作子女拖累，整个人疲惫不堪。至于她是不是Les都不一定，她好像飘忽在两种性向之间。对于我而言，她更需要的是自己状态的改变，而不是对自己的恋情认真。因为这段拉拉情，她最明白自己的父亲也是第一个接受的。我并不欣赏她对前夫和自己现任的做法，但是我认同她对亲情的维护。

二弟，从小没有存在感，父母闹矛盾时正处于青春期，没有大姐的成熟也没有小妹的聪慧，他实际上在童年受到了最大的伤害。看完这部可能会有很多人不太喜欢他，对前女友对后面的女友他都处理的不对，表面上看上去想要个家庭很靠谱，实际上忽略了对方的感受很自私。但是对这个love addict我是充满了同情的，童年缺爱致使他这样，实际上内心深处还是那个没有人在乎的无法安放自己的青春期男孩，敏感而自卑。他对父亲的态度是很不接受的，除了自己是直男这个既定原因以外，另一方面大概就是父亲变化太大会遗弃自己吧。唉，我是很心疼这个“渣男”的。

最后说说三女儿。我想，所有，年轻人，都，能明白。年轻人还不想让自己的一生定下公式，人在二十岁的时候要是能看到自己五十岁什么样是很恐怖的，而且她有那么聪明，从小被父亲器重。在冥冥中，她觉得自己肯定不会有一种寻常的人生，所以她不停地换着兴趣爱好不停地尝试着跟不同的人生活。她可能过于痛苦觉得没人能理解，所以才会跟自己的父亲有难么大的争执。对于父亲决心做女人这件事，也就恍惚了一下就没起波澜了，因为她和父亲争论的另有焦点。



正视自己，有一份责任心就行了，抛弃什么选择什么这些要当机立断。

ok了，去看吧。

自美国同性婚姻合法化后，大众的目光又聚集到了弱势群体上来。

并没有一次性看完，因为觉得这样的剧就值得慢慢的品，像一首散文诗，谁会丧心病狂的一次性把一本散文诗读完。

就个人来说的话，对这些群体还是保持着一定的关注度和支持，单纯的相信着人人生来平等这种政治题必答的话。他们需要一定的鼓励，然后活出最真实的自我。

就像莫特一样，在68岁选择了出柜，当他放下长发，穿上裙子，在舞台上表演的时候，我懂的那是他最喜欢的模样，也能够体会到当儿女离开后的失望和怅然。

透明家庭谁透明啊~老爸是个跨性别者，过去的68年一直生活在一个错误的身体里面；老妈悉心照料着第二任丈夫，却始终无法抹去那样的邪念；大女儿在婚姻生活中寻找着刺激，离开了生活多年的丈夫回到大学同性初恋情人的身边，要求和她结婚；儿子的问题似乎是方方面面的，追求着所有的最新，最新的计划、最新的女友、最新的性爱，始终无法满足，以至于最后和那个拉比表白的时候我们甚至无法分辨真实和谎言；小女儿的问题自然也是严重的，整天无所事事，没有恒心和毅力，总是在生活中寻找一种平衡感，想把自己的生活强加在生活本身的基础上，她自然是迷茫的，就像在同性好友表白的时候她甚至无法清晰的表达她的取向…

该剧被贴上喜剧的标签，却时时刻刻提醒着你这不是喜剧，这是一出生活剧；这并不是关于跨性别者的故事，这是生活的故事；它不是喜剧，却总是在意想不到的时候把你逗得前仰后合；他试图以一个跨性别者的家庭入手，以我们周遭的生活资源为蓝本，而本剧恐怖和发人深思的地方也正是在于此，你永远都不知道某一天你是否就变成了那个样子——wrong body or out of control or 摇摆不定 or 嗜物成瘾 or 一事无成还自以为是…

生活就是如此这般，在莫名的光怪陆离之下给你指着一条路，你会往下走，然后遇到岔路口，因为生活不会一下子就让你成功，你会面临着选择，然后再次坚定的走下去，然后再遇到岔路口……如此循环，周而复始，而生活的乐趣也正在于此，你可以随手点缀路旁的白色风景，然后留给后来人，让他们瞻仰你的透明人生…

（个人观点，不喜勿喷）

平均三句一错吧……挂一漏万地摘录几处——

第4集：
9分16秒，“My dad came out to Ali.” 被译为“我爸爸去找阿里了”，应为“我爸向Ali出柜了。”
10分25秒，“Outing a trans person, it’s like an act of violence.” 被译为“批判一个变性的人就好比一个暴力行为”，应为“暴露一个跨性别者的身份，这简直是暴力行为。” [按，拜托不要再把trans译为“变性”啦……第8集中的一大段倒叙戏，不就是为了反思曾经在“变性者”（transsexuality）与“易装者”（crossdressing）之间划定的界线、以及因而衍生出的冲突和压迫吗？]
11分16秒，“She, like, made me squirt.”被译为“她让我欲望膨胀”，应为“她，那个，搞到我潮吹。”
11分19秒，“You mean female ejaculation?” 被译为“你是说女性高潮？”，应为“你是说女性射液？”

第9集：
Raquel和Josh的一整段对话完全译错……[按，Rabbi即犹太教的“拉比”（其实标准发音是“拉拜”），专业神职人员（故其现代职业伦理要求不可以与聚会者发生亲密关系），笼统地说，可类比天主教教会中的神父、新教教会中的牧师或清真寺里的阿訇的角色。这位Raquel就是一个Rabbi。]
Raquel: I could have been kicked out of the temple.
字幕译法：我可能会被教堂扫地出门。
本人译法：我已经可以被教会扫地出门了。
Josh: For what?
字幕译法：为什么？
本人译法：（一致）
Raquel: For fucking a congregant, Josh.
字幕译法：因为和宗教人士在一起，乔什。
本人译法：因为和信众（聚会者）上床，Josh。
Josh: I'm not a congregant.
字幕译法：我不是宗教人士。
本人译法：我不是信众（聚会者）。
Raquel: I put you on list. I added you to my email blast.
字幕译法：我把精力都放在你身上，还没完没了发邮件。
本人译法：我把你拉进来了。我把你加入我的邮件组了。[按，这一句其实很好笑，也含有对美国当代宗教组织和专业主义吐槽的意味，而误译完全抹杀了其喜剧效果。]
Josh: Yeah, I'll unsubscribe. I don't care.
字幕译法：是的，我会注销账户，无所谓。
本人译法：好吧，我会取消订阅的。我没关系。
Raquel: That is really gentlemanly.
字幕译法：这是真正的绅士。
本人译法：（反讽）您真有礼貌。

附上一个trans小词典，来源：http://transwhat.org/glossary/

An ally, in this context, refers to a cisgender (see below) person who fully supports the rights of trans people, treats their genders with respect, and actively helps work against transphobia. Allies are educated about trans issues and are willing to speak up against discrimination.

Androgyny is the quality exhibited by people who are difficult to identify as either clearly male or clearly female. Some trans people whose genders cannot be classified as strictly male or strictly female call themselves androgynes.

Assignment of gender refers to the way that we assume others' genders based on their bodies. When a child is born, our culture slots it into one of two groups: male or female, avoiding all overlap. We "determine" the child's "correct" identity based on a quick visual assessment of the appearance of its sexual organs, and we do so by following a specific dichotomy. (A vulva-bearing child is typically assigned female at birth, or AFAB, for short. A penis-bearing child is typically assigned male at birth, or AMAB.) Gender assignment mostly tends to work out for those involved, but many trans people are notable exceptions to this.

Cisgender is a word used to describe people who are not transgender; likewise, cissexual describes the non-transsexual. This word is a simple opposite, formed by using the prefix "cis" (on the same side/not "across") as opposed to "trans" (across/beyond).

Coming out, in reference to trans people, can have two separate meanings:

From a non-transitioned person: disclosing to someone else that you are trans, and that your preferred gender is not the one that you were assigned at birth.
From a transitioned person: disclosing to someone else that you have transitioned, and were not originally assigned as a member of the gender in which you currently live.
Crossdressing is a term that describes the practice of using clothing tailored toward the wearer's "opposite" gender. Men who dress this way would wear clothes made for women, and vice versa. A desire to crossdress isn't uncommon in straight cisgender males — some crossdressers, however, would characterize themselves as transgender. Sometimes crossdressers are called CDs for short.

Drag is a type of performance that features crossdressed people; women who perform drag are called drag kings, and men drag queens. (Note that not all crossdressing is part of a drag act.) Kings and queens are often lesbian or gay, though not always — many identify with other sexual orientations. Some drag performers would call themselves trans, and some would not.

Dysphoria, in this context, describes a variety of negative feelings that are related or connected to someone's gender or sex. Trans people who experience dysphoria may be profoundly uncomfortable with certain aspects of their bodies, particularly sex characteristics. They may also have a strong aversive reaction — perhaps sadness, or anger, or disgust — upon being called by the (inappropriate) pronouns of their birth-assigned genders, or the inappropriate-gender names that were used for them before they came out.

Femininity refers to qualities that are thought of as being womanly, that are typically ascribed to women, and that are considered to be socially appropriate for a woman's behavior. People who exhibit self-described femininity do not necessarily think of themselves as women: some men (including trans men) are feminine, some women are, some genderqueer or androgynous people are.

Female-to-male (FTM, FtM, F2M) is an adjective or noun for men whose bodies were initially assigned female. These men often undergo the social and/or medical transition that the acronym implies.

Gender refers to the sociological set of boundaries and signifiers that may define people as being feminine, masculine, or androgynous. When you look at someone and decide that she's a girl, based on her appearance, behavior, and presentation of self, you're judging her gender (not her sex).

The gender binary is a very common system of thought, referring to certain ideas that many people hold about gender and sex. The gender binary is not correct. It presumes that everyone is either male or female (not so!), and it implies that trans people flat-out do not exist. It is based on the following three principles:

There are two genders: man and woman.
Every human is either a man/boy or a woman/girl.
Humans born with XY chromosomes, penises, testicles, etc. are always men; humans with XX chromosomes, vaginas, ovaries, etc. are always women.
More accurately, it could instead be said that:

There are many genders; man and woman are, as it happens, the two most common.
Not all humans are either men/boys or women/girls. Lots are, some aren't.
Gender and physical sex have a complex relationship to one another, and being born with a certain body doesn't guarantee a certain identity. The majority of men were assigned at birth as "male," and women assigned as "female." The human population varies widely, however, and the former statement is certainly not infallible — hence the need for this website!
Gender identity describes the psychological recognition of oneself as being a member of a certain gender. Gender identity is determined by a person's internal perceptions; it is separate from physical sex, which is an absolute that's determined before birth.

Gender-neutral pronouns are used to avoid referring to someone as "he/him" or "she/her." Some people explicitly ask for gender-neutral pronouns, as these are the most comfortable for them; other people will use them as generics. A short list of the most common gender-neutral pronouns:

They, them
They smiled • I called them • their cat purred • it's theirs • they like themselves

Sie, hir (pron. see/hear)
Sie smiled • I called hir • hir cat purred • it's hirs • sie likes hirself

Zie, zim (like he/him, but with a "z" at the front)
Zie smiled • I called zim • zir cat purred • it's zirs • zie likes zirself

Ey, em (like they/them without the "th")
Ey smiled • I called em • eir cat purred • it's eirs • ey likes emself

Gender presentation refers to the way a person looks, dresses, or acts; it describes the "gender signifiers" that are part of their external appearance or mannerisms. Drag kings who wear stick-on beards, for example, are deliberately trying to make their gender presentations as masculine as possible.

Genderqueer is an identity taken on by a variety of people who feel that, in some way, the very substance of their genders lies outside the gender binary's two labels of "male" and "female."

Gender role describes the set of expectations that are ascribed to a certain gender in any given culture, relating to how to people of that gender "should" (among other things) behave, talk, dress, and think.

Male-to-female (MTF, MtF, M2F) is an adjective or noun for women whose bodies were initially assigned male. These women often undergo the social and/or medical transition that the acronym implies.

Masculinity refers to qualities that are thought of as being manly, that are typically ascribed to men, and that are considered to be socially appropriate for a man's behavior. People who exhibit self-described masculinity do not necessarily think of themselves as men: some women (including trans women) are masculine, some men are, some genderqueer or androgynous people are.

Non-op, short for non-operation, describes people who don't plan to undergo any surgery related to their trans status. There are a variety of reasons for this decision, ranging from pervasive medical difficulties to discontent with the surgical results to simple lack of desire.

A person who passes, although assigned with one physical sex, is able to resemble the other sex closely and convincingly in the public eye. This word is technically a misnomer; trans people who "pass" are not doing so as trickery or disguise, but rather revealing their actual genders.

Post-op is a simple descriptive term used for people who have completed all the sex reassignment surgery that they plan to undergo.

Pre-op, likewise, refers to people who wish/plan to have surgery, but who have not yet undergone it.

Sex refers to various qualities displayed by the human body that, strictly medically speaking, define people as being male, female, or intersex. When you decide that a someone's sex is female, you're mentally juggling many different traits of her physical self — her genitals, her hormone levels, her chromosomes, her internal sex organs, her secondary sex characteristics — and finally making the judgment call that her body can be, as a whole, classifiable as "female" according to the normative standards of medical science. (Note that the "scientific standards" of sex are at least partly culturally determined, according to a society's notion of what makes a body male or female.) Sex is distinct from gender.

Sexual orientation refers to, simply, towards whom someone's sexual desires and drives are oriented — perhaps towards only women, or only men, or towards nobody, or regardless of gender. It is separate and independent of gender identity.

Sex[ual] reassignment surgery refers to several types of operations; it is typically used to describe vaginoplasty (the creation of a vagina), metoidioplasty and phalloplasty (two ways to create a penis), and mastectomy (removal of the breasts, typically in a trans man). Certain other surgeries, involving removal of various parts of the internal reproductive system, are also often considered forms of SRS.

Stealth is a descriptor of people who, after beginning transition and living in their preferred genders, do not readily tell others about their upbringings or past lives within the birth-assigned gender. Some people are only comfortable when living in "deep" stealth, some practice stealth to a degree, and some choose to be more or less open about their trans statuses.

Transgender is an umbrella word that refers to all the folks who, more or less, either

Do not identify with the genders assigned to them at birth, either wholly or partially;
Consider themselves members of their birth-assigned genders, but who also state that their identities are strongly and consistently gender-variant (that is, radically different from what is expected of a "man" or "woman").
Some people who fall under these categories do not define themselves as transgender, for a span of different reasons, mostly having to do with personal preference and experience. When in doubt, ask the individual.

Transition refers to the process of changing one's living situation so that it suits the individual's gender identity more accurately. It can entail quite a lot of different actions, ranging from a social name-change to sex reassignment surgery, and has been given its own section on this website so that I may explain it in more detail.

Transsexuality describes the condition of being described/assigned as a medically typical "male" or "female" at birth, but having an identity that lies exclusively or near-exclusively within the gender that people tend to call opposite. A transsexual man was initially assigned female, and was probably raised within the female gender; vice versa with a transsexual woman. Transsexual-identified people often undergo a social/physical transition in order to live more comfortably within their true genders.

Transvestism is a rather outdated word that is equivalent to "crossdressing," and is usually used in reference to men who dress as women. Its use should be avoided, as some find it offensive.
