醉倒垃圾堆旁

提起英国，大多数人的印象都是古堡、绅士、上流社会加田园美景。错！其实真实的英国要“放浪形骸”得多。最近一位波兰摄影师就记录了普通英国民众的周末生活……

Polish photographer Maciej Dakowicz, 34, has been capturing nocturnal scenes in Cardiff - where he was previously a student - for the past five years. His portfolio of work went on show at the International Festival of Photojournalism in Perpignan, France. Around 50 of his images were presented on a giant screen. And the critics lapped them up. 'The reaction was very positive,' says Dakowicz. 'The audience was laughing. They were making fun of British people.'
34岁的Maciej Dakowicz是一名摄影师。他曾在英国城市卡迪夫做过5年的留学生，并在那里拍摄了英国人的日常生活。最近在法国城市佩皮尼昂举办的国际摄影展上，他的作品得以展出。大概有50张左右的图片被展示在巨大的屏幕上。观众对此反应热烈。Dakowicz说：“观众都很喜欢这些照片，他们大笑着取乐英国人。”

Dakowicz admits that he would be unable to produce images like this in his home town of Bialystok in Poland. People there just don’t demean themselves like that. But, in Cardiff, he was spoiled for choice. For all that, he remains fond of the Welsh capital.
Dakowicz 承认他在自己波兰的家乡比亚维斯托克是拍不到这样的照片的。那儿的人才不会这样自降身份。但是在卡迪夫就不一样了，你可以有任何选择。也因为此，他对这个威尔士的首都充满感情。

醉倒店铺门口

‘Welsh people are very friendly and open,’ he says. ‘The atmosphere is very cheerful and everyone is having a good time.’ And so they are —if your idea of having a good time is passing out in a pool of vomit.
他说：“威尔士的人民非常友善和开放。这里的气氛很令人愉快，每个人都能找到自己的快乐。”——看来的确如此，如果你所谓的“快乐”就是醉倒在一堆呕吐物里的话……

醉酒闹事被警察制伏

‘The pictures tell stories of drinking, of love, of violence, of lots of things,’ he insists. Around 50 of these images were presented at the prestigious festival on a giant screen.
摄影师坚称：“这些照片讲述了关于喝酒、关于爱情、关于暴力、以及很多很多的故事。” 大概有50张这样的照片被展示在颇具名望的国际摄影展的大屏幕上。

喝醉的女伴

His resulting picture album, however, could do with an X certificate. Taken over a series of Friday and Saturday nights on the streets of Cardiff, the Polish student's images provide a shocking insight into alcohol-fuelled debauchery in the Welsh capital.
他最终完成的这个相册简直是限制级的。大多数的照片都拍摄于周五和周六晚的威尔士首都卡迪夫，向人们展示了一副充斥着酒精味的放浪声色的景象。

小姐你的……

The unique collection is aptly named 'Cardiff At Night,' and includes a photo of a man walking across a street, his face and shirt covered in blood.
这一组影像被取了一个恰如其分的名字：“夜晚的卡迪夫”。其中甚至包括一个男人满脸满身是血、穿过街道的照片。

真实版“脸都喝绿了”

The nation which was once regarded as a buttoned-up bunch of repressives in bowler hats is now a land of incontinent alcoholics.
对此，英国媒体每日邮报评论：“我们这个国家，曾被认为是一群戴着圆顶礼帽、沉默寡言的被压抑的人，现在竟成了一岛的醉鬼。”
