在一篇“抄袭赎罪”文章里抄袭
Plagiarized in a plagiarism atonement essay
导读
作者发现自己写的文章被一位作家抄进了一篇主题为“为抄袭赎罪”的文章里——讽刺的是，那篇文章本身就在讲抄袭。更让他意外的是，从抄袭者到编辑、记者、读者，没有一个人联系过他。这篇短文和评论一起，构成了关于署名、原创与“谁在被讨论”的写作伦理讨论，值得每个写作者一读。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
抄袭事件里舆论几乎都围着抄袭者转，受害者往往被忽略；写作与维权时要主动把自己的名字和诉求放到台面上。
- 02
抽象的道德讨论不如一个具体细节有说服力——被质疑时救了他的不是辩解，而是“藏头拼出 humbug”这个可验证的事实。
- 03
善用情境反讽：把抄袭写进“抄袭赎罪文”、把练习题库原样搬上期末考，反差本身就是最好的叙事材料。
- 04
警惕模板化写作：当格式要求让你觉得“这样写是在侮辱这本书”时，说明模板已经压过了内容，值得重新想表达方式。
HN 评论精选
舆论天然偏向抄袭者，受害者需要主动争取关注。
很少有人关心受害者，大家似乎都在围观抄袭者。就像媒体在连环凶案报道中刻意不具名凶手、把注意力转向受害者的疗愈一样，社会心理机制大概是相通的：当事情与读者无关时，读者更愿意被加害者吸引，而不是去弥补受害者或从中真正学到点什么。

> What does upset me is a simple fact: No one contacted me about this. > Not Bello herself, not the staff at LitHub, not the journalist who wrote the Gawker piece and not even any of the readers of that piece. While I clearly found it fine on my own, the fact that there has been zero outreach is, in a word, surprising. Because few people care about the victim, and everyone seems to obsess over the perpetrator. I don't know how well the far more severe crimes in our society map in this context, but at least with serial or spree killings, there's an effort to take attention away from the perpetrator due to media fixation on them and instead redirecting it towards healing the injuries (https://www.dontnamethem.org/). I don't think it's exactly 1 for 1, but I think the sociological mechanics are probably the same here: If it's not local to the reader, the reader is more likely to be fascinated by the perpetrator rather than go out of their way to heal the injured, or learn from the happening in any tangible way.
可验证的具体设计（藏头）比辩解更有力，也是绝佳的叙事反转。
大一英语课我懒得做功课，就写了一篇讲某位19世纪冷门哲学家生平与思想的短文——这人其实完全是我编的，事实全靠瞎扯，写起来很轻松。一周后我被叫到英语系，两位表情严肃的老师怀疑我抄袭，主要“证据”是我用了 gamut 这个词，他们认为19岁的非母语学生不可能认识。我很生气（也有点受宠若惊），直到指出全文是藏头文——每段首字母拼起来是 humbug（胡扯），他们才放过我。

Trigger warning: shameless (but pertinent) brag coming up. In my first year of college I had to write a short essay for an English course. I was rather lazy as well as a fan of wordplay so I wrote an essay describing the life and work of an obscure 19th-century philosopher, who also happened to be completely fictional. Since I could just pull the "facts" out of my ass, it was easy to write. A week later I was called in by the English department and had a sit down with two grim looking teachers. They confronted me with suspicions of plagiarism. Most of their case was built on my use of the word "gamut", which they thought a 19-year-old non-native speaker was not supposed to know. I was incensed (as well as flattered), but they only relented after I pointed out that the essay was an acrostic. The first letters of the paragraphs spelled the word "humbug".
出题者自己照抄辅导材料，反讽地说明抄袭与权威无关。
一个完全无关的抄袭故事：现在美国很多学校到了学年末，正是期末考试季。我认识的一个学生复习文学期末考的方式，是把这本书的 SparkNotes 读一遍，再做 SparkNotes 上的练习题，然后去考试。结果期末考卷就是 SparkNotes 练习题的原文照搬——而且没有任何署名。

Completely unrelated plagiarism story: Right now is the end of the school year for many schools in the USA. That makes it a time for final exams for many students. This week a student I know prepared for the Literature final by reading through the SparkNotes for the book they had read earlier. Then the student took some SparkNotes practice tests on the book. Then the student showed up to take the actual final exam. The final exam was verbatim the SparksNotes practice test--uncredited.
模板化的写作要求会扼杀真实表达，甚至逼人作假。
我的反向经历：没做功课却拿到了学分。从俄勒冈的尖子初中转到犹他州读高中后，我觉得作业无聊又低级。我选了一门科幻奇幻阅读课，本该是我这种孩子的梦想课程，要求定期交读书报告。但我一两天读一本书、写得也快，却被报告的模板卡住了——那种格式让我觉得是在侮辱我读的书：喜欢的书不愿这样糟蹋，不喜欢的书不想再想。于是我干脆给不存在的书写报告，其中一本叫《The Hinterlands of Horlon》的套路奇幻，我还特意给了差评加几句亮点，免得有人真去找来读。一直没被发现。

My opposite of plagiarism anecdote, where I still didn't do the work but got credit for it. When I went to High School in Utah it was after going to a really advanced Junior High in Oregon, and I was very spoiled and felt that the work was boring and beneath me. One of the classes I took I should have been grateful for as a dream class for a kid like me, it was a class on reading Science Fiction and Fantasy where you had to write a book report on the books read (once a week, once every two weeks? don't remember, maybe once per month). I generally read a book every day or two, and I wrote quite quickly so it shouldn't have been difficult. But I found these book reports difficult to write because they had a template for how they wanted the reports written that I found insulting to the books I had read, if I had read a book I liked I didn't want to insult it that way, and if I read a book I didn't like I didn't want to think about it any more. So I hit on the expedient solution of writing book reports on fake books, I don't remember any of the books other than one that was a stereotypical Fantasy quest to stop the dark lord thing, called "The Hinterlands of Horlon" ugh, of course I gave it a negative review with some bright spots just keep anyone from being interested in reading it. Didn't get found out though.
