In Berlin, a billboard against anti-Semitism might backfire. 柏林的一块反对“反犹太主义”的广告牌可能适得其反了。 Passengers on the Berlin subway are encountering billboards these days with the inscription “Du Jude” [“You’re a Jew” or “You Jew”]. Alongside the inscription there are alternately pictures of a leek, an ostrich, a wooden column and a rag. At the bottom of each picture and in smaller letters is the inscription: “Don’t let the [leek, ostrich, etc.] tell you anything. Jew is not an insult. You’re a Jew. #sowhat.” 近些天柏林地铁上的乘客都会看到带有“Du Jude”（“你是犹太人”或者“你这个犹太人”）字样的广告牌。还配有韭菜、鸵鸟、木柱和抹布等图片。每个图片下面还会有一排小字“不要以为‘韭菜、鸵鸟等’能代表什么，‘犹太人’并不是一种侮辱，你就是犹太人，那又怎么样呢？” Berliners are used to provocative ads and jokey billboards, so the campaign did not cause an uproar or merit special attention. However, several people who came across it felt embarrassed. The attentive viewer won’t find it difficult to understand that the signs are designed to convey a message against anti-Semitism. 煽动性的广告和滑稽的广告牌柏林人见多了，所以这一运动并未引起骚动，也不值得特别关注。但有些人看到这些广告牌感觉很尴尬。细心的路人不难发现这些广告牌想要表达反对“反犹太主义”的观点。 |
