Then he risked it all for a soap opera from South Korea.韓國(guó)首爾作為朝鮮的一名數(shù)學(xué)教授，張世悅（Jang Se-yul，音）在這個(gè)國(guó)家屬于相對(duì)的特權(quán)階層；他可以在餐館和擁擠不堪的火車上享受專座，更重要的是，在一個(gè)許多人需要忍受饑餓的國(guó)家里，他可以優(yōu)先獲得政府的食品配給。但是后來，他甘愿

3、冒失去這一切的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，只為一部來自韓國(guó)的肥皂劇。The temptation in this case was “Scent of a Man,” an 18-episode drama about the forbidden love between an ex-convict and his stepsister. A graduate student had offered him the bundle of banned CDs smuggled into the North and, too curious to resist, Mr. Jang and five other prof

7、中領(lǐng)略了韓國(guó)的舒適生活，他決定逃離朝鮮。他現(xiàn)在是一個(gè)脫北者團(tuán)體的負(fù)責(zé)人，該組織把肥皂劇和其他娛樂節(jié)目送到朝鮮，促使人們提出結(jié)束獨(dú)裁統(tǒng)治的要求?！癐 am sure these soaps have an impact on North Koreans, and I am the proof,” he said. “In the future, if they spread, they can even help foster anti-government movements.

10、到了受到嚴(yán)格管控的貧窮的朝鮮。North Koreas leader, Kim Jong-un, has issued increasingly pointed warnings to his subjects about the “poisonous elements of capitalism” crossing Chinas border with the North, tempting even his Communist elite. Defectors say there has been a severe crackdown on smugglers, and in the fa

13、mily dynasty, which has survived for decades despite international isolation and sanctions. But the infiltration of the dramas into even elite circles, despite the threat of prison or worse, is a potent indication of the challenges Mr. Kim faces in a globalized world.

15、Since he came to power in 2011, Mr. Kim has struggled to open the North just enough to keep his top loyalists happy, plying them with imported goods, while maintaining control in a country where government-installed intercoms in every home still blare reminders of required ideological education clas

16、ses. He allowed an estimated two million people, close to 10 percent of the population, to own cellphones, but ensured they could not call abroad. And, despite a crackdown, the country has seemed unwilling, or unable, to fully dismantle the smuggling networks that bring in not only banned soap opera

17、s, movies and K-pop videos, but also much-needed trade.自2011年掌權(quán)以來，金正恩一直艱難地把朝鮮的開放程度限制在讓最忠誠(chéng)的支持者滿意的范圍內(nèi)，定期向他們提供進(jìn)口商品，與此同時(shí)在這個(gè)國(guó)家，政府安裝的內(nèi)部通話系統(tǒng)仍然播放著人們必須了解的意識(shí)形態(tài)教育內(nèi)容。他允許約10%的人口，即200萬人擁有手機(jī)，但又確保他們不能與國(guó)外通話。此外，盡管采取了打擊行動(dòng)，這個(gè)國(guó)家似乎不愿或者無法徹底消滅走私的網(wǎng)絡(luò)，這個(gè)走私網(wǎng)絡(luò)不僅帶來了被禁的肥皂劇、電影和韓國(guó)流行音樂視頻，也帶來了急需的貿(mào)易。Defectors say the soaps have had an

19、the dangerous decision to flee in 2013 at the age of 18.脫北者稱，肥皂劇的影響力非常大，主要原因并不是離奇的劇情，而是劇中描述的韓國(guó)物質(zhì)上的富足與幾十年來有關(guān)韓國(guó)和資本主義的低劣灌輸截然相反。全孝珍（Jeon Hyo-jin，音）說，正是這些關(guān)于富足生活的刻畫，促使她做出了危險(xiǎn)的決定，在2013年逃離了朝鮮，那一年她18歲?！癟he kitchens with hot and cold tap water, people dating in a cafe, cars clogging streets, women wearing diff

The two Koreas share an ancient culture and language. And what counts

25、 by money, defectors said, not ideology, but some defectors and pro-democracy groups also help arrange for the contraband material to be smuggled into the North.脫北者稱，兩國(guó)間多數(shù)邊境貿(mào)易活動(dòng)的驅(qū)動(dòng)因素是經(jīng)濟(jì)利益，并非意識(shí)形態(tài)。但也有部分脫北者和親民主團(tuán)體，會(huì)協(xié)助安排將這類違禁品偷運(yùn)到朝鮮。The flow of entertainment began in the 1990s with the first real fissures
