Let’s find out why people in China find it so easy to relate to a fictional Finnish character.
我們來一探究竟為何中國人很容易就能對一個虛構的芬蘭漫畫角色感同身受。
Imagine that you book a ticket on the Orient Express. Excited, you show up to your bunk, only to find that you’re sharing a small room on board the train with a total stranger. If you’re from Finland, this is a situation that would be considered a Finnish nightmare. That’s also the title of a book by author Karoliina Korhonen, who has struck a chord with fans in China.
想像你訂了一張東方快車火車票。當你興奮地走到臥舖時，沒想到卻發現你和一個完全不認識的陌生人在火車上要共處在一個狹小的房間。如果你來自芬蘭，這正是被稱作「芬蘭人的惡夢」的典型處境。這也是芬蘭漫畫家卡蘿莉娜‧柯爾霍寧的書名，該作家引起中國粉絲的共鳴。
Finnish Nightmares follows a cartoon stick figure called Matti. His creator says Matti is a typical Finn. He prefers to keep to himself, and finds most social interactions awkward. Why are Finns like this? First of all, Finland is a large country with a small population. So, there is a lot of empty space, and Finns prefer having space to themselves to being in crowded situations.
《芬蘭人的惡夢》描繪一個叫馬蒂的火柴人漫畫人物（編按：畫風為把人的頭畫成圓形而其他部位畫直線）。他的創作者說馬蒂就是一個典型的芬蘭人。他比較喜歡獨處，而且覺得大部分的社交互動很令人尷尬。為何芬蘭人都像這樣？首先，芬蘭地廣人稀。所以，有許多空地，而芬蘭人寧願有自己的獨立空間也不要待在人滿為患的環境。
In addition, a big part of Finnish culture is practicing emotional restraint. They value modesty, and calmly endure any hardships that might come their way. Rather than displaying their happiness in an outward manner, they prefer to be quietly satisfied when things go well. 此外，壓抑情緒是芬蘭文化中的一大部分。他們重視謙遜且平心靜氣忍受任何可能遇上的困難。當一切順利時他們寧可靜靜地感受自我滿足，而非喜形於色。
