我们收到了《美国生活》一集的早期文本，该集将于美国东部时间今晚8:00播出，名为“收回”。该集的主角是迈克·戴西，他之前在好未来上的表演是他自2010年以来一直在表演的一个戏剧独白，讲述的是中国工厂的工人，这家工厂生产，以及其他许多东西，苹果产品。迈克的工作引起了人们的广泛关注，这反过来也引起了人们对中国工人苦于生产电子产品的困境的关注。然而，正如这一新插曲所表明的，并不是迈克·戴西在表演中所说的每一句话在技术上，甚至在某些情况下，都接近——真相。

该节目的文字记录揭示了更多的细节，迈克·戴西似乎在撒谎或歪曲事实，迫使这段美国生活收回了对该集的支持。”《收回》的主角是主持人艾拉·格拉斯（Ira Glass）、市场记者迈克·戴西（Mike Daisey）、市场记者罗伯·施密茨（Rob Schmitz），后者在该集最初播出后对该集进行了进一步的事实核实，从而导致了收回，还有迈克·戴西的翻译凯西（Cathy），她陪同迈克前往富士康。

下面是一些更令人震惊的，有趣的片段，我们已经从成绩单中提取。

Host Ira Glass: As best as we can tell, Mike's monologue in reality is a mix of things that actually happened when he visited China and things that he just heard about or researched, which he then pretends that he witnessed first hand… And the most powerful and memorable moments in the story all seem to be fabricated.

Marketplace记者Rob Schmitz说，当他听到Daisey的描述时，他听到报道说富士康外的警卫有枪，他感到震惊，因为在中国，只有警察和军队才允许携带枪。听到戴西提到经常光顾星巴克的富士康员工，他也感到困惑，因为他们实际上赚的钱不够买这样的奢侈品。这让施密茨找到了黛西的翻译凯西。

除此之外，凯茜说他们参观了三家工厂，而不是戴西声称的那十家。她说没有枪。她甚至说她从未亲眼见过枪，只是在电视上见过。她还说，工厂里没有孩子，在她参观深圳工厂的十年里，她几乎没有见过任何未成年工人。

I think that if she said she was 13 or 12, then I would be surprised. I would be very surprised. And I would remember for sure. But there is no such thing.

戴西的独白还描述了一个情绪化的场景，一个工人看到他的iPad时“眼睛睁大了”，因为他“从来没见过”，他告诉凯西这是“一种魔力”。凯西也否认这曾经发生过。

在广播中，主持人Ira Glass与Daisey就自己的故事进行了激烈的对峙，例如：

Why not just tell us what really happened at that point? [long pause]

Mike Daisey: I think I was terrified. [breathing]

Ira Glass: Of what?

[long pause]

Mike Daisey: - That---

[long pause]

Mike Daisey: I think I was terrified that if I untied these things, that the work, that I know is really good, and tells a story, that does these really great things for making people care, that it would come apart in a way where, where it would ruin everything.

作者告诉格拉斯，在调查事实的过程中，在最初的报告发表之前，他曾一度暗暗希望这个故事会被美国人的生活扼杀，因为缺乏支持他的说法的信息：

Ira Glass: Did you worry that I would either say, like, okay, well, not enough of this is true in the traditional way that we need it to be or verifiable in the way we need it to be and so like we can't run it, or did you worry, like okay, you'd accidentally end up with two versi*** of the story, and that would raise a question about like what really happened, like, was that the kind of thing you were thinking?

Mike Daisey: The latter. I worried about the latter a lot more. [Pause] After a certain point, honestly...

[breathing]

[long pause]

Ira Glass: Wait after a certain point, what?

Mike Daisey: Well I started a sentence and then my nerve failed me, I stopped talking.

Ira Glass: [overlapping] Okay.

Mike Daisey: So that's what you saw. So, I'm working on it. It's coming.

[long pause]

Mike Daisey: I can't say it.

Ira Glass: What's the general kind of area that it's in?

Mike Daisey: Oh I'll just say it, I'll just say it, what the... After a certain point, I would have preferred the first option.

Ira Glass: That we would just kill the story and not do it on the radio.

Mike Daisey: There was a point.

最后，戴西带着艾拉·格拉斯回到工作室，对自己的作品提出了自己的看法，并以某种方式为其辩护：

Mike Daisey: I think you can trust my word in the context of the theater. And how people see it -

Ira Glass: I find this to be a really hedgy answer. I think it's OK for somebody in your position to say it isn't all literally true, know what I mean, feel like actually it seems like it's honest labeling, and I feel like that's what's actually called for at this point, is just honest labeling. Like, you make a nice show, people are moved by it, I was moved by it and if it were labeled honestly, I think everybody would react differently to it.

Mike Daisey: I don't think that label covers the totality of what it is.

Ira Glass: That label - fiction?
