文化 | 「春晚」怎麼說?(附:Highlights of 2020 Spring Festival Gala)

2021-02-15 英語學習

After five rehearsals, the curtain has finally lifted on China Media Group's (CMG) much anticipated 2020 Spring Festival Gala.

不過,一個共識是,近年來的春節年味越來越淡。每年陪老人一起看春晚、上網吐槽春晚,應該算是最有年味的一件事了吧!今年的春晚看了嗎?一起了解一些有關「春晚」的英語知識吧!

春晚一般指的是「央視春晚」,英文可以說CCTV's Spring Festival Gala / CCTV New Year's Gala,gala意指「歡快的慶祝活動」。單純說春晚可以用Spring Festival Gala或者Chinese New Year Gala表達。另外,gala也可以用作形容詞,表示"慶祝的,奢侈的",如 a gala ball 慶祝舞會;the gala life of the rich 富翁們的奢侈生活。

我們來造個句子:Each year the Spring Festival Gala hopes to incorporate new ideas and surprise  people.

每年觀眾們都希望「春晚」能夠有所創新,能夠帶給人們驚喜。

但隨著春晚影響力的增大,許多國內外的英文媒體開始直接使用春晚的拼音「Chunwan」。

例如,在Wikipedia(維基百科)中:

我們都知道,央視春晚一般是現場直播,那麼直播可以用「live」表達。而這裡需要注意的是,live表示「直播」時,應當讀作/laɪv/,而不是/lɪv/。

雖然每年的春晚節目形式各樣,但歌舞、小品、相聲、雜技、魔術等節目形式基本是標配。那麼,這些節目形式如何用英語表達呢?快來了解一下吧~

「sketch」最常用的含義是素描、草圖或畫草圖,但在這裡,其含義是「short funny play」。西方也有comedy sketch這種表演形式,長度在10分鐘左右。

cross talk這個詞組能在《牛津詞典》裡查到,解釋為:rapid dialogue, eg between two comedians(快速對話,比如在兩個喜劇演員之間),也有英文媒體翻譯成stand-up comedy。

有時,我們也會在相聲裡看到「雙簧」這種特別的表演形式,那麼「雙簧」可以用「Comedy Duo」表達。 

acrobatics和aerobics(有氧健身操)很容易被混淆。acrobat(雜技演員)一詞對有的人來說並不陌生,因為有一款著名的PDF編輯軟體就叫做Adobe Acrobat。

NBA球迷可能會聯想到美國籃球隊—Orlando Magic(奧蘭多魔術隊)。在舞臺上表演大型魔術的魔術師,有時也被稱為「illusionist」。

任何舞臺上一個人的表演都可以用「solo」表達。

例:a piano solo鋼琴獨奏;a guitar solo吉他獨奏;sing a solo個人獨唱。

獨唱用「solo」表達,那麼合唱用「chorus」來表達。

京劇 Peking Opera

崑曲 Kunqu Opera

越劇 Yue Opera

黃梅戲 Huangmei Opera

我們知道每年的春晚都會有一個保留曲目—合唱《難忘今宵》,它是春晚的壓軸節目,全體演員會上臺合唱。伴著熟悉的旋律,春晚落下帷幕,我們迎來新的一年。

那麼,壓軸可以用「 grand finale」來表達,指終場演奏、壓軸戲。國外的演出在最後也大都有這樣一個環節,比如《大河之舞》的最後,每一幕出現的演員都會依次出來再跳一小段,最後再全體齊刷刷地跳。這種節目最後全體演員上臺表演的壓軸環節就叫grand finale。

Highlights of 2020 Spring Festival Gala

Belt and Road carnival

After the opening sequence, dancers from five countries along the Belt and Road showcased a grand carnival of dance.

The Moiseyev Dance Academy from Russia, the Abbe Dance Company from Cameroon, as well as dance groups from Azerbaijan, India and China's Jilin City all performed dances with their own national characteristics.

The lively dancing signified best wishes for the future and the Chinese New Year.

Spring Festival Disco

The Spring Festival Disco performed by William Chan, Zhang Yixing and Dong Baoshi was a blast.

Adapted from a hit song on Tik Tok, the song from the tune to the dance has long been familiar to young people.

That this trending song can appear on as big a stage as the Spring Festival Gala is proof of short video popularity.

Go Wuhan! Go China!

CMG anchors Bai Yansong, Kang Hui, Shui Junyi, He Hongmei, Hai Xia and Ouyang Xiadan paid tribute to the medical professionals battling the coronavirus in a special new section called "The Bridge of Love."

They collectively shouted "Go China" as it is the aspiration of all Chinese people to join hands to defeat the virus.

Acrobatic show 'Blossom'

The acrobatic and magic shows always enjoy large viewership during the annual festival gala. This year, performers from Xi'an City in northwest China's Shaanxi Province and south China's Guangdong Province brought their acrobatic show "Blossom."

The strength of the performers and the visual effects of the stage amazed the audience. Dressed in colorful clothes, the performers matched the magnificent "tree" created by the 3D screens on stage, forming a beautiful image.

'Song of the Morning Light'

The dance performance of "Song of the Morning Light" by girls dressed in smoke-gray cheongsam wowed the audience with its traditional oriental flavor and use of props.

"Song of the Morning Light" originated from a dance segment of the original dance drama "The Eternal Wave." "Song of the Fishermen" shows the life of Shanghai women.

With its breathtaking stage design, the dance acts as a window into the beauty of Shanghai.

'Wandering Earth'

The theme song of last year's blockbuster "The Wandering Earth" was also brought to the stage of the 2020 Spring Festival Gala. Renowned Chinese singer Liu Huan, who is also the composer of the song, performed alongside child singer Zheng Chuxin.

To match the song, the stage was also changed into a "universe," thanks to technological creations. Featuring the new tech such as 5G and 8K resolution, the gala brought a new visual experience to the audience.

Segments from sub-venues in Zhengzhou and the Greater Bay Area were pre-recorded due to the coronavirus outbreak, but the main venue in Beijing remained jubilant.

The world's most-watched television show this year features eight segments which include short sketches and cross talk. Most of the programs are based on people's daily lives.
