Student Video Explores Decline of Interpersonal Relationships|解析現代人疏離 中一中"敷衍別人"暴紅

Modern life is fast-paced and stressful, and interpersonal relationships are shallow. The "perfunctory" attitude of modern people deeply bothers Taichung Municipal Taichung First Senior High School students, who recently uploaded a video to YouTube, analyzing relationship closeness between people. They gave the video an exaggerated title, "One Million Types to be Perfunctory."


A rejection can be perfunctory or polite. It can come in the form of an excuse, like "I'm too busy" or "I'm sick," or be nothing more than a sound.

Third-year students from Taichung Municipal Taichung First Senior High School's accelerated language program recently posted a video on YouTube on the decline of interpersonal relationships in modern society.

(You) try to guess what the other person wants and then do something to appease them in the hopes that they can disappear before your eyes.

The students say people often don't mean to be perfunctory, but they can still end up hurting someone's feelings. Apart from learning not to let someone else's actions bother you, you can also remind yourself not to be indifferent or perfunctory to others.

Communication is a two-way street. It's not one person making a request. We hope people can reflect on the message in this video.

Liu Ping-chien, who appears in the video, says making the video made him much more aware of when he himself is being indifferent or perfunctory.

I played the role of the "medium level" (perfunctory person). In the future, I'll think someone is being perfunctory if they respond to me with "Yeah, yeah." It doesn't feel good (to be on the receiving end) and it makes me more aware (of when I'm doing that to other people).
The students taught themselves to record and edit videos, and scripted and filmed the video with their phones after the college entrance exams. Apart from entertaining people, they hope the video will inspire everyone to be friendlier and engage more with people around them.



從初級的敷衍，有禮貌的拒絕對方。或是裝忙、裝病的中級敷衍法，甚至是只剩下狀聲詞的敷衍。

台中一中語資班高三學生，想把現代人的疏離，用逗趣誇張的手法表達，以劇情片的方式，解析現代人的敷衍行為，用誇張的標題「敷衍別人的100萬種分級」，吸引YouTube上的觀眾眼球。

台中一中學生 施胤丞表示：「猜測他人的需求，進行一些滿足他人需求的動作，然後希望期以達到，讓眼前這個人消失的效果。」

發起拍片學生指出，其實有時敷衍動作是無心的，但有時可能傷了對方的心，透過現象解析，除了強化「被敷衍者」的抗壓性，也提醒自己，不要成為冷漠的人。

台中一中學生 翁健棋表示：「因為溝通這個辭彙，就是在於是要雙方進行溝通，而不是單方面邀請，然後我們是希望透過這個影片，給我們的觀眾一個反思。」

參與拍片的演員劉秉謙感受最深，他說拍完後，開始會意識到自己的敷衍與冷漠。

台中一中學生 劉秉謙表示：「其實我是飾演中級的(敷衍者)，中級的，然後別人用什麼，是啊，是啊，跟我回答的時候，我就覺得他在敷衍，就是竟然產生一種這種心態，所以也可以說是一種反效果。」

這群台中一中語資班高三學生，利用學測完的空檔，用了一個月發想、設計橋段，利用手機拍攝、自學剪輯等技術，把想法拍成了影片，展現高中生對生活日常的觀察，希望大家在歡笑之餘，也對身邊的人，多些熱情和溫度。
