09/19 自由時報 40是驕傲 留學生挺過歧視被認同
〔記者鄭又嘉/美國紐約專題報導〕當建仔把球交給托瑞,緩步走下洋基球場投手丘,全
場觀眾起立鼓掌,拿著啤酒與熱狗的美國佬,轉身跟來自台灣、穿著40號球衣的留學生們
擊掌,告訴他們:「Wang is great!」
「40」是驕傲,烙印在每個留學生的背上。
來自台灣的小楊與阿傑,來紐約念書已經3年多,他說,一般美國人儘管親切,卻還是打
從心底看不起東方人,有時走在路上,甚至得忍受一大群黑人在路旁大聲咆哮、嘲弄,這
種苦,台灣留學生只得吞下肚。
沾建仔的光 義裔房東從鄙夷變笑臉
住在紐澤西的小薇,房東是個義大利裔美國人,也是標準的大美國主義者,王建民上大聯
盟時,他嘲諷地跟小薇說:「就算缺錢也不要到美國來騙錢,叫他滾回去吧!」但一年下
來,建仔用行動征服了他們。小薇的房東態度丕變,甚至問她說:「妳今天會去看球嗎?
可不可以想辦法幫我要Wang的簽名?」
留學生的共同記憶是︰建仔首次先發,現場介紹攻守名單時,唸到基特、羅德里魁茲,都
是震天歡呼聲,但是唸到建仔時,卻只有稀落的掌聲,因為他們不認識、也不期待這個台
灣小子會有什麼驚人之作。而第一次在球場看到建仔退場,接受觀眾長達1分鐘的起立歡
呼(standing ovation),小楊回想起來,還是難忘那次的感動,他說︰「我一看到這種
場面,眼淚就停不住了。」小楊說,這個掌聲是讚美、是鼓勵、更是認同。
「因為建仔,我認識了來自四面八方的台灣人!」
台灣劉姓留學生,帶了親手畫的海報要為王建民加油,即使因雨延賽連兩天撲空,仍舊想
盡辦法要買到建仔先發的下一場比賽門票。(特派記者張嘉明攝)
從那天以後,只要建仔在主場先發,他跟同學就會排除萬難去看球,洋基球場也儼然變成
留學生的聚集地,更是台灣觀光客必到的景點。「因為王建民,我認識了來自四面八方的
台灣人。」阿傑說:「也因為他,我們不再沒有自信,他做到了比我們更艱難百倍的事情
,我們怎麼能不努力?」
讓他們印象最深刻的是,第一次到洋基球場,美國球迷都問他們,是不是從日本來?來看
松井秀喜嗎?而現在,就算不穿繡著40號的球衣,也沒有人會懷疑,他們是台灣來的,「
現在我總是驕傲的說,我是台灣人。」阿傑說。
這群紐約的留學生並非追星族,不是走馬看花、只看熱鬧、不懂門道的遊客,更不是想搭
順風車、搶版面、打知名度的政客,建仔的每一戰,他們才是忠實的守護者。
在洋基球場裡,在現實的紐約、美國,素昧平生的台灣留學生,卻因為王建民而緊密地連
結在一起。
