《十三個原因》：最暗黑的校園美劇

One afternoon, US high school boy Clay Jensen receives a mysterious package with no return address. When he opens it, he is shocked to find seven audio tapes which have been recorded by Hannah Baker, his classmate who had killed herself two weeks earlier. Clay had secretly been in love with her but never had the courage to tell her about it.

一天下午，美國高中男生克萊·詹森收到了一個沒有回寄地址的神秘包裹。當打開這個包裹時，他十分震驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)了7盤由他的同學漢娜·貝克所錄制的磁帶，而漢娜已在兩周前自殺身亡。克萊一直暗戀著她，可是卻從來沒有勇氣向她告白。

On the tapes, Hannah has stated 13 reasons for ending her own life and Clay is one of the reasons. Hannah even left him a map marking places with dotsfor him to visit.

在磁帶中，漢娜講述了13個讓她結(jié)束生命的原因，而克萊就是其中之一。漢娜還給他留下了一張地圖，并標出了一些讓他前往的地點。

Clay walks out of his home and with her voice in his ear, he travels all over town trying to find out the reasons why she felt her life had to end so tragically.

耳畔回蕩著漢娜的聲音，克萊走出家門，他走遍了整個城鎮(zhèn)，試圖去找出漢娜為何要悲慘地結(jié)束生命的原因。

Through Hannah and Clay’s narratives, US author Jay Asher tells a sad story of confusion and desperation in novel Thirteen Reasons Why. The story stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for eight weeks when it was published in 2007. And now, it has been made into a web TV series by US entertainment company Netflix, with the name 13 Reasons Why.

通過漢娜和克萊的敘述，美國作家杰伊·阿舍爾在小說《十三個原因》中，講述了一個困惑且絕望的悲傷故事。小說于2007年出版時，便上榜《紐約時報》暢銷書排行榜8周。如今，這個故事已被美國娛樂公司網(wǎng)飛制成了一部同名網(wǎng)絡(luò)電視劇。

As Clay anxiously awaits to find out how he played a part in her suicide, he can’t help but notice how a number of little, seemingly unimportant events can add up to a terrible high school existence for someone else.

克萊急于得知自己是如何影響漢娜走向自殺，但他也不由地注意到，一系列看起來無關(guān)緊要的小事是如何疊加起來，最終成為其他人高中生活中可怕的存在。

It reminds us all that sometimes when something is said or done to hurt someone else, it can have lasting effects and can even lead to other major events in that person’s life.

這提醒了我們所有人，有時我們說的話或做的事傷害了別人，會帶來長期的影響，甚至還會引發(fā)他人生活中的大事。

The theme of the story is that we are all responsible for our own actions. Hannah never denies it was her choice to end her life. However, there were many times when someone could have acted differently that may have changed her decision.

這個故事的主題是，我們所有人都要對自己的行為負責。漢娜從不否認是她自己選擇結(jié)束生命。然而，如果有人能有不一樣的反應，她或許會有很多次機會回心轉(zhuǎn)意。

Even though it is a fictional story, many of us will identify with at least parts of Hannah’s high school life and may even know someone showing warning signs for suicide. And hopefully, we can act and prevent such a tragedy.

盡管這只是一個虛構(gòu)的故事，但我們中的許多人或多或少能理解漢娜高中生活中的一些部分，甚至認識有自殺傾向的人。希望我們都能夠行動起來，阻止這樣的悲劇發(fā)生。
