From the age of 5, Filipino graphic artist Percival Lugue has had a passion for collecting toys from fast-food restaurant chains like McDonald's, Burger King and home-country favourite Jollibee. |
菲律宾平面设计师珀西瓦尔·鲁格从5岁起就热衷于收集麦当劳、汉堡王和快乐蜂(菲律宾本土最受欢迎的快餐品牌)等快餐连锁店的玩具。 |
Now,the 50-year-old has about 20,000 toys packed from floor to ceiling in his home and holds a Guinness World Record from 2014, when his collection reached more than 10,000 items. |
如今这位50岁的男子已拥有约2万个玩具,家里的玩具从地上堆到了天花板,2014年还因收藏玩具过万而打破了吉尼斯世界纪录。 |
"The toy is like a storyteller in itself," said Lugue, explaining his hobby while sitting among an eclectic mix of toys in his three-storey home. |
鲁格说:“玩具本身就在述说着故事。”他坐在三层楼家中各式各样的玩具中间解释着自己的爱好。 |
"For example, it gives me a glimpse of that particular period when I got it, the story of what's going on, what are the incidents that are attached in the acquisition," he said. |
他说:“例如,它可以让我回想起我拿到玩具的那个特定时期,以及得到玩具时发生的故事。” |
Lugue, who lives in Apalit in Pampanga, a province northwest of Manila, built his home especially to house his collection. |
鲁格住在位于菲律宾首都马尼拉西北方向的邦板牙省的阿帕里特,他盖这座房子就是为了收藏他的玩具。 |
He likens the excitement that getting new toys gives him to Christmas morning. |
他表示,获得新玩具的兴奋心情就像圣诞节早上的感觉一样。 |
He has always played with the toys, but even as a child took good care of them and put them on display "unlike the other kids, who would tear up their toys into smithereens." |
他一直都会玩这些玩具,但是从小他就很精心地保管和展示这些玩具,“和其他孩子不同,其他孩子会把玩具撕得粉碎。” |
While most of his toys were obtained through personal purchases, some were donated by friends and family. |
他的多数玩具都是通过个人购买获得,但也有些玩具是朋友和家人捐赠的。 |
"I would invite my friends to... have lunch at McDonald's... and in one sitting I would be able to complete the whole set," he said. |
他说:“我会邀请我的朋友们去麦当劳吃午饭,吃一次我就能集齐整套玩具。” |
One of his most treasured pieces is a "Hetty Spaghetti" figurine, a mascot from the Jollibee chain that his mother gave him in 1988. |
他最珍爱的一个玩具是通心粉女孩海蒂人偶,这是他母亲在1988年从快乐蜂买给他的吉祥物。 |
His dream now is to eventually put his collection on display for the public or even open a museum to "give others a chance to revisit their own childhood memories." |
他现在的梦想是有朝一日可以向公众展示他收藏的玩具,最好能开一家博物馆,“让其他人有机会重温自己的童年回忆”。 |
