孫宇晨吃香蕉：加密貨幣企業家消費 620 萬美元藝術品

加密貨幣企業家賈斯汀·孫 (Justin Sun) 上週在蘇富比拍賣會上花費 620 萬美元購買了意大利藝術家 Maurizio Cattlelan 的概念藝術作品“Comedian”

Justin Sun, the flamboyant crypto entrepreneur, made headlines on November 21 after dropping a hefty $6.2 million at Sotheby’s New York on “The Comedian,” a performative artwork featuring nothing more than a banana duct-taped to a wall. While critics dismissed the purchase as absurd, Sun defended it as a landmark cultural moment worth every penny.

11 月21 日，這位風度翩翩的加密貨幣企業家賈斯汀·孫(Justin Sun) 在紐約蘇富比拍賣行以620 萬美元的價格拍賣了《喜劇演員》(The Comedian) 的作品，該作品只不過是一根用膠帶黏在牆上的香蕉而已，因此登上了頭條。雖然批評者認為這次收購是荒謬的，但孫堅稱這是一個值得每一分錢的里程碑式的文化時刻。

Fast forward to November 29, and Sun completed the performative act by eating the banana. However, sharp-eyed viewers couldn’t help but notice that the banana he ate seemed far fresher than the week-old fruit he had originally bought.

快進到 11 月 29 日，孫透過吃香蕉完成了表演動作。然而眼尖的觀眾不禁發現，他吃的香蕉似乎比他原來買的一周大的水果要新鮮得多。

Concluding his $6.2 million art spectacle in Hong Kong, Justin Sun ate The Comedian’s famed banana during a lively press conference. Ever the showman, he told the crowd it tasted better than your average banana, earning laughs and applause.

孫宇晨在香港結束了他耗資 620 萬美元的藝術盛宴，在一場熱鬧的新聞發布會上吃了喜劇演員著名的香蕉。作為表演者，他告訴觀眾它比普通香蕉味道更好，贏得了笑聲和掌聲。

But observant viewers noticed something was off. The banana Sun devoured looked pristine, unlike the slightly browning fruit seen during the New York auction over a week earlier.

但細心的觀眾發現有些不對勁。太陽吃下的香蕉看起來很原始，與一週前紐約拍賣會上看到的略帶褐色的水果不同。

“Taproot Wizard” Eric Wall chimed in on the social media buzz, explaining that The Comedian’s banana is replaced every two to three days as part of the artwork’s maintenance. Mystery solved, or maybe not?

「主根嚮導」艾瑞克‧沃爾（Eric Wall）在社群媒體熱議中插話，解釋喜劇演員的香蕉每兩到三天更換一次，作為藝術品維護的一部分。謎團已經解開了，還是沒有解開？

藝術可以複製嗎？

While Wall’s explanation cleared up the mystery, it also deepened the debate. Critics began questioning The Comedian’s integrity as art, wondering if its replaceability undermines its status as true art.

沃爾的解釋在解開謎團的同時，也加深了爭論。評論家開始質疑《喜劇演員》作為藝術的完整性，想知道它的可替代性是否削弱了它作為真正藝術的地位。

After all, the value of artwork lies in its uniqueness and non-fungibility, and a constantly replaced banana seems to challenge that very idea.

畢竟，藝術品的價值在於其獨特性和不可替代性，而不斷更換的香蕉似乎挑戰了這個想法。

Yet, despite the skepticism, Sun’s purchase undeniably captured global attention. His post-auction tweet from November 21 has amassed over 4 million views and thousands of comments, proving that whether The Comedian qualifies as art or not, it has certainly made a cultural impact.

然而，儘管存在質疑，Sun 的收購無疑引起了全球的關注。他在 11 月 21 日發布的拍賣後推文已獲得超過 400 萬次觀看和數千條評論，證明無論《喜劇演員》是否符合藝術標準，它確實產生了文化影響。
