矮種萌馬再度歸來 太空步廣告火速躥紅

With further cuts expected in the imminent budget as the government's austerity programme rolls on, Britain is a nation in need of something to bring a smile to its face.
英國的緊縮政策還在繼續，在不久的將來還會削減一部分政府預算，在這樣的環境下，英國人需要一些能讓他們會心一笑的東西。

And it seems a Shetland pony moon-walking to the strains of a catchy '80s pop tune could be just the thing.
看來設得蘭矮種馬隨着朗朗上口的八十年代流行歌曲走太空步的視頻正是大家需要的。

The advert for mobile internet firm 3, which sees a pony tapping its hooves to Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac, has been lauded as 'the best thing ever' by fans on Twitter.
英國電信公司3拍攝的廣告中，小馬伴隨着Fleetwood Mac合唱團的歌曲《Everywhere》蹬着馬蹄，在推特上被粉絲們追捧爲“世界上最好玩的東西”。

The quirky clip has racked up more than two million YouTube hits in less than a week.
不到一週，這部別出心裁的視頻就在YouTube網站上獲得了兩百萬多的點擊量。

'Seeing the dancing pony advert brightens up my day,' said Twitter user @_5ophie, while @Lozzaap tweeted that it would 'always be my favourite advert'.
推特用戶_5ophie 這樣評論道：“看到這隻跳舞的小馬我這一天的心情一下就好了起來”，另一位用戶Lozzaap也發推表：“這將永遠是我心目中最可愛的廣告。”

Another fan, @Anthonyshaw_, posted: 'Love that dancing pony in the new 3 advert', adding 'It'll probably be in a lasagne by next week though', in reference to the recent horse meat scandal.
另一個廣告的粉絲Anthonyshaw_髮狀態說：“愛死3的這部新廣告了”，不過他又補充說：“下週這匹小馬可能就在一份千層麪裏了”，這裏暗指最近的馬肉醜聞。

Mash-up versions of the popular advert have also been cropping up on YouTube, including one in which the Fleetwood Mac song has been replaced by Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, and another which sees the pony trotting to the sounds of Teenage Kicks by The Undertones.
現在這部大紅大紫的廣告在YouTube上也有了混音版，在其中一個視頻中Fleetwood Mac的這首歌被換成了Michael Jackson的《Billie Jean》，另外一個視頻中小馬則隨着The Undertones的歌曲《Teenage Kicks》屁顛屁顛地跑着。
