“藍精靈體”何處來:漫畫《藍精靈》簡介

The Smurfs is a comic and television franchise centred on a group of smAll blue fictional creatures called Smurfs, created and first introduced as a series of comic strips by the Belgian cartoonist Peyo (pen name of Pierre Culliford) on October 23, 1958.

《藍精靈》是1958年10月23日由比利時漫畫家沛優 (Peyo，Pierre Culliford的筆名)創作的一部漫畫，描寫一羣生活在大森林中的藍色精靈的故事。

The storylines tend to be simple tales of bold adventure. The cast has a simple structure as well: almost all the characters look essentially alike — mostly male, very short (3 apples high)，with blue skin, white trousers with a hole for their short tails, white hat in the style of a Phrygian cap, and sometimes some additional accessory that identifies a personality.

故事的主線是驚險冒險中的簡單故事，人物的構成也較爲簡單：幾乎所有的角色看起來都是以男性居多的、非常矮小的(三個蘋果壘起來的高度)、藍色皮 膚穿着白色褲子(有一個露出小尾巴的洞)、戴着白色佛裏幾亞式的帽子，有時也會有一些附屬物來區分不同的人物性格。

The Smurfs fulfill simple archetypes of everyday people: Lazy Smurf, Grouchy Smurf, Brainy Smurf, and so on. All Smurfs, with the exception of Papa, Baby, Smurfette and Grandpa, are said to be 100 years old. There were originally 99 Smurfs, but this number increased as new Smurf characters appeared, such as Sassette and Nanny. All of the original Smurfs were male; later female additions are Smurfette and Sassette.

藍精靈的採用了一些日常生活中人們身上常見的特徵爲原型，他們或是懶散的(惰惰)，或是易怒的(厭厭)，或是聰明的(聰聰)，或者擁有其他個性。所有的藍精靈(除了藍爸爸、藍寶寶、藍妹妹和藍爺爺)據說都已有一百歲了。藍精靈的數量最初是99個，但是這個數字隨着新的藍精靈角色的出現而增加，比如Sassette 和Nanny。最初所有的藍精靈都是男的，後來一些女性角色被加入，例如藍妹妹和Sassette。
