Passage 8
It has been reported that in colleges across the United States,the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become“in”.Between the hours of 11 a.m.and 4:30 p.m.,college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can’t wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.
据报道,在美国大学里,被称为肥皂剧的日间系列剧突然“火”了起来。上午11点至下午4:30,大学电视观看室里挤满了肥皂剧迷,他们急着想看自己所崇拜的偶像的下一集生活剧。
Actually,soaps are more than a college favorite;they’re a youth favorite.When school is out,high-school students are in front of their TV sets.One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials.During the 1960’s,it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas.The mood of the sixties was very different from now.It was a time of seriousness,and talk was about social issues of great importance.
其实,肥皂剧不仅仅是大学生最喜爱的节目,也是年轻人最喜爱的。放学后,中学生都挤在电视机前观看节目。有一个年轻的职业妇女坦诚说起曾经拒绝了一份薪水不错的工作而不愿放弃观看最喜爱的系列剧。20世纪60年代年轻人很少看肥皂剧。那时的情况与现在很不相同。那是很严肃的时期,人们所谈的都是关于很重要的社会大事。
Now,seriousness has been replaced by fun.Young people want to be happy.It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera,which is known for showing trouble in people’s lives.But soap opera is enjoyment.Young people can identify with the soap opera character,who,like the college-age viewer,is looking for happy love,and probably not finding it.And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.
现在,严肃已被娱乐取代。年轻人想寻找快乐。如果他们想看表现生活烦恼的肥皂剧就会显得很奇怪。但肥皂剧是令人快乐的。年轻人可以模仿肥皂剧里的人物,这些人物像大学生观众一样,在寻找快乐的爱情,也许还没找到。肥皂剧给年轻人一个贴近人们的机会但对于他们的问题却不必承担责任。
