宅男是日语“御宅族”的变种称呼。“御宅男”指沉迷于美少女类成人动漫或游戏的男子，后来引申为“对某种特定事物的爱好极端偏执，不与人接触而窝在家里的人”。2010年1月，“宅男”一词被收入了新编的《英汉大词典》。
‘zhai nan’ is a version of the term derived from Japanese “otaku”. It refers to guys who obsessed with manga or computer games of pretty, young girls. Later on, it referred to “people who stay at home, avoid contact with others because of their obsessive hobby of a certain nature.” In Jan 2010, the term has been included in the latest edition of the {English-Chinese Dictionary}.

宅男1号：言承旭：笨笨地从宅走出去
No. 1 zhai nan : Jerry Yan ~ Walks out of his place in a silly way

在娱乐圈，我—直在以自己的方式，甚至是比较笨的方式往前走。可能很多人因为知名度的变化、见识的人越来越多，会与以前不一样。我却一直告诉自己，还是要 跟之前一样。现在的我虽然赚了钱，但并不想要住很大的房子，开很多的跑车。我希望自己传达给人们的印象是，言承旭虽然在变得成熟，但没有改变。
In the Entertainment Circle, I’ve always been used my own way doing things even though it may not be an intelligent way of moving ahead. Perhaps many have changed themselves and their perspectives due to fame and are totally different from before. But I’ve always told myself that I must be the same as before. Even though I’ve made money but I don’t want to live in a very big house or get a fast car. I hope that the impression that I give others is that Jerry Yan has matured but he hasn’t changed at all.

私下里的我，其实是那种蛮自闭，要求很简单的人。舞厅、夜店那样的地方基本不会去，就喜欢一个人安安静静待在家里，做些自己的事—一洗衣服、打扫，我喜欢 家里超整齐，这样会很舒服，如果很乱，看起来会没有精神。我也会做东西给自己吃。以前我可是做过一小段厨房工作的，所以简单的炒菜都会。
In private, I’m kind of ‘autistic’ actually. My wants are very simple. I don’t frequent night spots and like to stay quietly at home doing my own stuff – washing clothes and tidying up. I like my place to be spick and span as it feels very comfortable. If it gets very messy, it feels lethargic. I like to cook things for myself too. Did work in a kitchen before so I can do simple stir-fries.

一个人在家时，我会睡到自然醒。然后去运动——游泳、跑步、打篮球。还有就是看书、碟、电视，听点乐器演奏的音乐，比如钢琴。也会根据不同的心境来选择听什么样的乐器。
When I’m alone at home, I would wake up naturally then I’ll go for exercise – swimming, running and playing basketball. I also read, watch TV, DVDs and listen to instrumental music like the piano. The instrument of choice depends on how my mood was.

我跟很多人不太一样，到现在还是像个男孩——很单纯，会傻傻地相信这个世界。我想男人与男孩的最大区别是，男人会更有责任感一些，懂得对周围的人多一点关 心，体贴。这一点，我到现在还在学习。我自己现在依然不能算是男人。如果要说我身上男人与男孩的比例的话，大概是0.01比9.99。但是，最近我看了一 部内地的电影《集结号》，真的很男人很棒。我开始非常想尝试谷子地那样的角色——希望—个比较Man、比较原始、留胡子、剃平头、没有化妆的言承旭。
Compared to many others, I’m quite different. Up till now, I’m still very much like a boy – very innocent and I believe what the world holds. The biggest difference I think between a man and a boy is that a man is more responsible. He shows more concern and understanding to those around him. This is an area that I’m working on right now. I myself feel that I’m still not yet a man. If I were to put the man and boy in me as a ratio, it would likely be 0.01 to 9.99. But I saw a mainland movie, {The Assembly} recently and I thought the actors were so macho, so great. I really hope that I can try my hand at the character, gu zi. I hope to become Jerry Yan who is more ‘man’, more primeval with a beard, shaven head and no make-up.

有一天，我希望自己拥有一个大牧场，那里一定会有妈妈，还有最后那个陪在我身边的女人。我和她坐在前廊，一起看着夕阳慢慢落下去。
One day, I hope that I can own a huge ranch. My mother will definitely be there and the woman who stayed with me till the very end. I will sit with her at the front porch and watch the sun slowly setting together.
