為什么中國的紫外線輻射這么低，他們的皮膚卻是黃色的？
Why does China have such low ultraviolet radiation but their skin is yellow?
譯文簡介
網(wǎng)友：我想你一定是色盲，我見過很多中國人，但從來沒有見過黃皮的，很多棕褐色的，有些甚至很白，從來沒有黃皮的，所以不知道你說的是哪種中國人，也許是你幻想中的中國人？
正文翻譯
Peter Kaye
I think you must be colour blind, I have seen a lot of Chinese but never ever a yellow skinned one, plenty of tan ones some even very white, never yellow, so don’t know what sort of Chinese your talking about, maybe ones in your fantasy?
so tell me which is the yellow one?
they look just like anyone else to me,
我想你一定是色盲，我見過很多中國人，但從來沒有見過黃皮的，很多棕褐色的，有些甚至很白，從來沒有黃皮的，所以不知道你說的是哪種中國人，也許是你幻想中的中國人？
告訴我哪個是黃色的？
在我看來他們和其他人沒什么兩樣，

That’s my Chinese sister in-law, does she look yellow to you? Your definitely colourblind,
那是我的中國姨子，你看她是黃的嗎？你絕對是色盲。

Yes, she’s very pretty. I visited Taiwan in December 1968 and although I met a lot of pretty girls in Taipei I do not speak Mandarin, only Cantonese, so being pragmatic I decided to marry a Cantonese wife from Hong Kong. It is the best decision I ever made, we are now married for 55 years.
是的，她非常漂亮。我1968年12月去過臺灣（地區(qū)），雖然我在臺北遇到了很多漂亮的女孩，但我只會說粵語，不會說普通話，所以出于實際考慮，我決定娶一個來自香港（特區(qū)）的粵語妻子。這是我做過的最好的決定，我們現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)結(jié)婚55年了。

Yellow the colour in this case has less to do with relationship between the skin colour of a Chinese person beheld and the health of the eyes of the beholder than with the conditioning of the mind of the beholder by the Yellow Peril prejudices still firmly, if subtly, embedded in popular Western culture and its context of Orientalism (Edward Said 1978). I hasten to add here that my intention here is to shed light on the subject matter, not to generate heat.
A struggling journalist, Arthur Henry/Sarfield Ward (1883-1959)], writing in 1912 under the pen name of ‘Sax Rohmer’ for ‘readers who had never seen a real Chinese person,’ described Dr Fu Manchu, the fictional character he created, as “the yellow peril incarnate in one man.” From the novels and stories of Dr Fu Manchu sprang over time the cultural origins of the Yellow Peril in U.K. and U.S.A. in both senses of the phrase: Chinese immigration and Chinese belligerence/expansionism.
May I recommend the serious and solid study on the role of popular culture in diffusing orientalist prejudices, reinforcing stereotypes, and case studies from or about China , The Yellow Peril: Dr Fu Manchu and the Rise of Chinaphobia (London: Hudson and Thames, 2014) by Dr Christopher Fraying, Professor Emeritus of Cultural History since 2009 at Royal College of Art, London, U.K.
在這里，“黃色”這一顏色與中國人皮膚顏色與觀看者眼睛健康之間的關(guān)系不大，而與觀看者受西方流行文化中根深蒂固的（盡管微妙）黃禍偏見和東方主義背景（愛德華·薩義德1978年提出）的影響而產(chǎn)生的思維定式有更大關(guān)系。我在此要補充說明的是，我的目的是闡明主題，而不是引發(fā)爭議。
亞瑟·亨利/薩爾菲爾德·沃德（1883-1959），一個掙扎中的記者，他在1912年以“薩克·羅默”的筆名，為“從未見過真正的中國人”的讀者，描繪了他創(chuàng)造的虛構(gòu)人物傅滿洲博士，稱其為“黃禍化身為一人”。從傅滿洲博士的小說和故事中，隨著時間的推移，黃禍在英國和美國的文化起源在兩個層面上逐漸顯現(xiàn)：中國移民和中國人的好戰(zhàn)/擴張主義。
我可以推薦一本嚴肅而扎實的研究著作，該書探討了流行文化在傳播對東方主義的偏見、強化刻板印象方面的作用，以及有關(guān)中國或從中國角度進行的案例研究，即《黃禍：傅滿洲博士與恐華癥的興起》（倫敦：哈德遜與泰晤士出版社，2014年），作者是克里斯托弗·弗雷英博士，自2009年起任倫敦皇家藝術(shù)學(xué)院文化史名譽教授。

Yet, it appears that Asian nations carry the psychological self-hatred imposed by the west by placing a high value on whiter skin and European physical features.
然而，亞洲國家似乎接受了西方強加的心理自我仇恨，高度重視白皮膚和歐洲人的外貌特征。

whiter-fairer skin has always been in the desire of the Asian women even before the first European contact. It is the features such as the nose job, and double eyelid, and wearing blue contacts is wear the European comes into play.

I don't know about other parts of Asia, but it is a tradition in East Asia to regard white as beauty, and it has been since ancient times. White skin means that you have money and don't have to work, so you face less ultraviolet rays. And the poor need to work, so the more skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, the darker it is. It is essentially a class worship. In ancient times, the west also regarded white as beauty, and their aesthetic trend of taking wheat color as beauty appeared very late; In order to show that westerners are upper-class people who have money to enjoy the sunshine on the beach, they have formed the aesthetic of wheat color, which is also a class worship in essence. The West has changed from the ancient beauty of white to the aesthetic stage of wheat color, but China has not changed.
我不知道亞洲其他地區(qū)的情況，但在東亞，以白為美是一種傳統(tǒng)，自古以來就是這樣。白皮膚意味著你有錢，不需要工作，因此受到的紫外線照射更少。而窮人需要工作，皮膚暴露在陽光下越多，膚色就越深。這本質(zhì)上是一種階級崇拜。在古代，西方人也以白為美，他們后來才出現(xiàn)以小麥色為美的審美趨勢；這些西方人為了表明自己是是擁有財富、能在海灘上享受陽光的上層階級，他們形成了小麥色的審美觀，這本質(zhì)上也是一種階級崇拜。西方從古代以白為美轉(zhuǎn)變到以小麥色為美的審美階段，但中國沒有改變。

The very dark skinned man and woman appearing on the top left and bottom left pictures are not Chinese. Even if Chinese are dark skinned they are never so dark unless they are of mixed race or belong to the ethnic minority tribes. Their facial features are also not Chinese. They look South East Asian.
左上角和左下角照片中出現(xiàn)的膚色非常深的男女并不是中國人。即使中國人有深色皮膚，也絕對不會那么深，除非他們是混血或?qū)儆谏贁?shù)民族部落。他們的面部特征也不是中國人的；上圖坐下和左上他們看起來像是東南亞人。

Okay, somebody made up those comparisons pictures then. I was very struck cuz all Chinese shown on tv are very light, Almost white whether peasants or not.
you’re right, the darker faces are typically south east Asia, maybe even philipinos ,
