孙宇晨吃香蕉：加密货币企业家消费 620 万美元艺术品

加密货币企业家贾斯汀·孙 (Justin Sun) 上周在苏富比拍卖会上花费 620 万美元购买了意大利艺术家 Maurizio Cattlelan 的概念艺术作品“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，这位风度翩翩的加密货币企业家贾斯汀·孙 (Justin Sun) 在纽约苏富比拍卖行以 620 万美元的价格拍卖了《喜剧演员》(The Comedian) 的作品，该作品只不过是一根用胶带粘在墙上的香蕉而已，因此登上了头条新闻。虽然批评者认为这次收购是荒谬的，但孙坚称这是一个值得每一分钱的里程碑式的文化时刻。

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.

快进到 11 月 29 日，孙通过吃香蕉完成了表演动作。然而眼尖的观众不禁发现，他吃的香蕉似乎比他原来买的一周大的水果要新鲜得多。

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.

孙宇晨在香港结束了他耗资 620 万美元的艺术盛宴，在一场热闹的新闻发布会上吃了喜剧演员著名的香蕉。作为表演者，他告诉观众它比普通香蕉味道更好，赢得了笑声和掌声。

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.

但细心的观众发现有些不对劲。太阳吃下的香蕉看起来很原始，与一周前纽约拍卖会上看到的略带褐色的水果不同。

“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?

“主根向导”埃里克·沃尔（Eric Wall）在社交媒体热议中插话，解释说喜剧演员的香蕉每两到三天更换一次，作为艺术品维护的一部分。谜团已经解开了，还是没有解开？

艺术可以复制吗？

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.

沃尔的解释在解开谜团的同时，也加深了争论。评论家开始质疑《喜剧演员》作为艺术的完整性，想知道它的可替代性是否削弱了它作为真正艺术的地位。

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

毕竟，艺术品的价值在于其独特性和不可替代性，而不断更换的香蕉似乎挑战了这一想法。

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，尽管存在质疑，Sun 的收购无疑引起了全球的关注。他在 11 月 21 日发布的拍卖后推文已获得超过 400 万次观看和数千条评论，证明无论《喜剧演员》是否符合艺术标准，它确实产生了文化影响。
