印尼的這家網紅餐廳告訴你：不要錢的善良，都是假善良

最新 01-11

在印尼爪哇群島的三寶壟市，有一家餐廳突然走紅了。

In Semarang, a city on the Java islands of Indonesia, there is a diner which has become quite popular all of a sudden.

這家餐廳不大，但是非常與眾不同。

This is not a large diner, but it is very special.

它叫做「沼氣食堂」。

It』s called Methane Gas Canteen.

而它所在的地方，是一個名叫「賈蒂巴朗」的垃圾場。

And it』s placed in a landfill called Jatibarang.

（三寶壟市是個旅遊城市）

餐廳提供的餐食在0.4美元到0.8美元之間。

The prices of the food provided in this diner range from 0.4 dollars to 0.8 dollars.

這差不多相當於2.6到5.3塊人民幣。

That』s about from 2.6 to 5.3 RMB.

這些菜肴包括炸鯰魚配米飯、蔬菜湯、荷包蛋以及當地的其他傳統菜肴。

The dishes include fried catfish, vegetable soup, fried eggs and other local traditional dishes.

而奇特的是，這家餐廳不接受金錢。

What』s really curious about this diner is that it does not accept cash for payment.

你若要在這吃飯，得提供等值的塑料垃圾。

If you want to have a meal here, you need to provide enough plastic waste that values as much as the meal.

20公斤的塑料垃圾可以摺合成大約4塊錢，這就足夠吃上一餐飯了。

20 kilograms of plastic waste is worth about 4 RMB, which is enough for a meal.

可想而知，來這裡吃飯的大多是收入微薄的人。

So it』s not so hard to figure out that most people who go there for meals are people with low income.

他們其中有些人就是靠收垃圾為生。

Many of them make a living on recycling garbage.

這家「沼氣食堂」餐廳始於2016年的1月。

This Methane Gas Canteen started in January of 2016.

現在經營它的是薩里敏和蘇亞特米夫婦，他們已經做了40年的收廢品的工作。

The people who currently run it are a couple named Sarimin and Suyatmi. They have worked in waste recycling for more than 40 years.

最早提出這個餐廳構想的，是垃圾場之前的經理。

The one who originally proposed for this diner is the former manager of the landfill.

這個運作方式，不光提高了垃圾場的回收能力，還改善了當地的環境，而薩里敏夫婦倆的收入也因此翻了倍。

By operating in this way, the landfill has not only increased its capacity of recycling but also helped improving the local environment. And the couple』s income has doubled due to this.

同時，這還為不少貧困人群提供了生存機會，他們不光有了一個謀生的手段，還因為這個餐廳而有了規律的生活。

At the same time, it has provided many poor people a chance to survive. They now have a way to make a living and a relatively regular life-style because of this diner.

有的人甚至得到了一種精神寄託。

Some of them even found this diner a place to hold on to.

薩里敏說：「看到客人們喜歡這裡的飯菜，我感到很高興。即便是窮人，也應該有享受健康飲食的權力。我希望能盡自己所能為他們提供這樣的機會。」

Sarimin said: 「I』m really happy to see that the customers like the food here. Even poor people should have the right to enjoy balanced meals. I want to do what I can to provide them such an opportunity.」

這整個體系最令人稱奇的，或許應該是它的功利性。

The most outstanding part of this project may be its utilitarian.

如你所見，這裡面並沒有任何人提供無償的奉獻，大家最初都是以自己的利益為出發點，但最終不光各方的利益都得到了滿足，同時還做出了一個非常成功的公益項目。

As you can see, none of the people involved are contributing for free. They all started from their own interest. But in the end, everyone benefited from it. And we now have a really successful public welfare program.

公益類的倡議我們見得太多了，但他們的絕大多數最終也只能是倡議，因為他們都把希望寄托在別人的無私奉獻上。

We』ve seen too many proposals for public welfare. But most of them just stayed proposals, because they all counted on others』 free contributions.

但是，每個人都有自己的需求，每個人都有自己的難處，憑什麼要為你無私奉獻呢。

But everyone has their own needs and their own problems. Why would they help you for free?

這樣幼稚的項目是必定要失敗的，而那些不斷提出這種項目的人，要麼是傻，要麼只是想佔據道德高地而已。

It』s all just natural that such naive projects ended up failures. And those who keep proposing such projects are either stupid or just trying to acquire some moral high-grounds.
