朝鮮隊員被髮配下礦挖煤?敗軍之將的歸國命運?

最近在中國的網站和論壇上，網民熱議着朝鮮球員可能在世界盃失利後受到下礦挖煤的處罰。真相抑或謠傳，一時衆說紛紜。17日朝鮮2比1負於巴西后，網易談及挖煤處罰，稱其爲“未證實之傳聞”。一些網站聲稱此傳聞來源於美國博客和一些小站。鳳凰網一文稱，“謠傳”始於Team Liquid論壇上一個羅馬尼亞人的帖子

“As I was turning in to see the second half of the Argentina vs S. Korea game, I heard the newscaster for TVR1( Romania’s national TV station) talking about four north Korean players gone missing from world cup. It is believed that they have fled in order to avoid going back to North Korea.”

“當我開始收看阿根廷和韓國的下半場比賽時，我聽到TVR1（羅馬尼亞的國家電視臺）的播音員談論說朝鮮有四人失蹤。人們相信他們這麼做是爲了逃離朝鮮。”

The article also stated that a former North Korea assistant coach said “If we lose, they will be punished, some players will be sent to work at a coal mine.”

此文還稱一名曾任朝鮮國家隊助教的人士透露“如果我們輸球，球員將被懲罰，一些人將被送去煤礦挖煤。”

I was curious about the original source of the news and how creditable it is. So I searched this topic in English and found NPR posted a original news article by Times Live South Africa written a week ago – “World Cup players sent to coal mines if they lose”. It wrote:

我對消息的源頭和信息源的可信度非常好奇。於是我用英文搜索了相關話題，然後發現是南非時代一週前在NPR上發佈的最先的一篇新聞稿。文章寫到“若失利，朝鮮國家隊球員將被送去挖煤。”

With that honor comes pressure. Moon Ki-nam, a former national-level North Korea coach who defected to South Korea in 2004, said players are handsomely rewarded with coveted apartments if they win internationally but are punished, some sent to coal mines, if they lose.

伴隨着榮譽的，是壓力。Monn ki-nam, 曾任朝鮮國家級球隊教練，於2004叛逃之韓國。他說，若在國際賽場上贏球，球員將得到豐厚的獎賞，如讓人豔慕的公寓。如果輸球，那他們將被送去煤礦。

And apparently this "rumor” can be traced back as far as 1966! BBC has a nice article on the former glory of North Korea team at the 1966 tournament hosted by England. North Korea entered quarter finals by beating Italy 1-0 along the way. However after going 3-0 ahead in the quarter final, North Korea some how lost the match to Portugal with the final score of 5-3.

而這條”謠傳“最早竟然可以追溯到1966年！ BBC有一篇細緻的報道，關於朝鮮在1966年由英格蘭主辦的世界錦標賽中的優異表現。朝鮮1比0擊敗意大利進入四分之一決賽。但是在3比0領先的情況下被葡萄牙逆轉，最終以3比5告負。

It was suggested that the North Korean authorities were not as delighted as the fans, and there was dark gossip about what might have happened to the players after they came home.

據稱，和歡欣鼓舞的球迷不同，朝鮮高層並不滿意。這些球員回國後將面對什麼，傳言稱恐有不測。

According the the article a North Korean defector now living in South Korea, Shim Joo-il said,

根據該文所述，叛逃到韓國的Shim joo-il說,

"It was rumored that some of them were sent to the coal mines as a punishment, and that was why our team never again achieved such greatness."

“有傳言說一些球員受到了被拉去煤礦拉煤的懲罰，這也是爲什麼我們球隊再也沒有取得這樣的輝煌。”

But the team members said otherwise when tracked down a few years ago by a British documentary team.

但是，前幾年一隻英國紀錄片製作組尋找到當年的朝鮮球員詢問到”，他們所說的版本卻是大相徑庭。

In fact, the surviving members of the 1966 squad were tracked down a few years ago by a British documentary team given rare access to North Korea.

事實上，1966年朝鮮國家隊如今仍然健在的幾位，幾年前被一支獲准進入朝鮮的英國紀錄片攝製組尋找到。

They found seven of the men alive and well, including "the dentist" himself, Pak Do-ik. All of them insisted that the team had received nothing but praise for their exploits, on and off the pitch.

英國人發現這七個人活的很好，包括當年綽號“牙醫”的 Pak Do-ik。所有人都堅持說球隊當年回國後受到的是對於他們球場上下優異表現的讚揚，除此之外什麼都沒有發生。

So what is happening to today’s North Korea team?

那麼如今的朝鮮隊又發生了什麼。

Ironically, North Korea was knocked out of their hope of advancing by Portugal again after the huge 0-7 loss. According to News Times (AP), It was supposed to be North Korea’s revenge match against Portugal which for the first time was aired live in North Korea.

諷刺的是，朝鮮隊的小組出線之夢正是被葡萄牙的一場7比0的屠殺所擊碎的。據News Times(AP)，這本來是朝鮮的復仇之戰，朝鮮官方更是對比賽做了現場直播

"The Portuguese won the game and now have four points. We are ending our live broadcast now," a Korean Central Broadcasting commentator said, quickly cutting to footage of factory workers and engineers praising North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.

“葡萄牙贏得勝利，積分達到4分。我們現在將結束直播，”朝鮮中央社的評論員說，接着電視訊號迅速轉到工人和工程師熱情讚揚領袖金正日的畫面。

After the 7-0 humiliating loss, Chinese Netizens were sure that the poor North Korean football players are going to be sent to coal mines now, hence these photo-shopped Kuso pictures of North Korean football players as coal miners circulated on forums like MOP and Tianya.

朝鮮0比7的慘敗之後，中國網民們確信朝鮮球員將被送至煤礦。貓撲上流傳着朝鮮球員身着礦工裝束的PS圖。

True or not, I guess we can never be sure what really goes on with this mysterious North Korean football team in the mysterious country.

真相？謠言？也許誰都不知道這是神祕之國的神祕之師將會面對什麼。
