澳大利亞五大火爆真人電視節目

Australians really do have a unique brand of humour. We enjoy self-deprecating digs, send-ups of our own stereotypes and anything that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It therefore comes as no surprise that there are many cult favourite television shows in Australia that have never taken off overseas. Here are 5 of the best.
澳大利亞人的幽默真是獨樹一幟。我們喜歡“自黑”，喜歡抱怨自己的呆板，喜歡一切不嚴肅的東西。這樣看來，許多澳大利亞火爆的電視節目從未在海外上映也是情有可原。以下介紹其中的五檔節目。

1. Hamish and Andy

Hamish and Andy started out as a radio duo with electric on-air chemistry. Charming audiences with their goofy humour, they quickly became one of Australia’s most popular comedy duos and travelled the world filming their “Gap Year” series for TV. They disarm the crowd with their relatable skits and outrageous challenges, eating local delicacies such as donkey penis and getting into lots of hairy situations.
Hamish與Andy最初的合作是從無線之聲的化學節目開始的。他們笨拙的表現反而產生了別樣的幽默效果，吸引了觀衆，也因此，他們迅速躥紅，成爲澳大利亞最受歡迎的喜劇二人組之一。他們曾環遊世界拍攝了他們的“間隔年”節目。在節目中，他們表演語意雙關的段子，還進行了一些令人震驚的挑戰。這些挑戰包括品嚐拍攝地當地的美食，比如……驢的生殖器！他們還總是陷入令人發毛的處境。不得不說，這些節目內容成功地幫助他們征服了觀衆。

2. Kath and Kim

Kath and Kim are household names in Australia, famous for four outrageous seasons of character comedy based around suburban bogans Kath Day-Knight, a foxy single mother, and her middle-aged daughter Kim. It features legends of Australian comedy such as Glenn Robbins, who plays Kath’s metro, power-walking boyfriend Kel, and Magda Szubanski who plays Kim’s injury prone “second-best friend” Sharon Strzelecki.
Kath與Kim的大名在澳大利亞家喻戶曉，他們出演的喜劇已經播出了四季，反響熱烈。故事圍繞郊區的底層人民Kath Day-Knight——一位狡猾的單身母親——與她的中年女兒Kim的生活展開。這部劇中誕生了澳大利亞喜劇圈的多位傳奇人物，例如Glenn Robbins和Magda Szubanski，分別在劇中飾演Kath來自城市的男友Kel，和Kim敏感脆弱的“第二好朋友”Sharon Strzelecki。

3. 追趕者

A staple from the Australian Broadcasting Company for many years was The Chaser’s War On Everything: a panel style comedy show that offered risquéopinions on current affairs in Australian society. They are famous for satirising otherwise serious political issues and calling politicians out on “un-Australian”behaviour. They ran into quite a lot of trouble over the years, being arrested for dressing as Osama Bin Laden in a security controlled zone, and offending thousands with their fictional “Make a Realistic Wish Foundation”, a parody on the real Make a Wish Foundation.
許多年來，澳大利亞廣播公司的主打產品就是“戰爭直擊”（The Chaser’s War On Everything）。這是一檔小組對話形式的喜劇節目，對澳大利亞社會上近期出現的事件發表一些尖銳的評論。這檔節目之所以有名，是因爲譏諷那些不帶嚴重政治色彩的事件，並且敢於大聲“控訴”政客們“非澳大利亞範兒”的行爲。這些年來，他們屢屢闖禍，曾因爲在管控區喬裝成本·拉登而被捕，以及虛構了“許個真實願望”基金會而得罪了一大堆人——因爲山寨了“許個願望”基金會。

4. 一切有關Chris Lilley的節目

Creator of Summer Heights High, J’amie: Private School Girl, We Can Be Heroes andAngry Boys, Chris Lilley has achieved legend status amongst Australian comedy writers. Writing, directing and starring in his own series, cross-dressing and crossing boundaries. Chris Lilley’s comedy is a commentary on all things laughable about Australian culture, from the “Australian of the Year”competition to Australian beach culture. Every teenager in Australia can quote his character Jonah Hill and is familiar with Lilley’s own brand of comedy.
作爲“夏日高中”（Summer Heights High）, “J’amie: 私立高中女孩”（J’amie: Private School Girl），“人人皆英雄”（We Can Be Heroes）與“憤怒男孩”（Angry Boys）的作者，Chris Lilley在澳大利亞的喜劇作家圈內已是傳奇般的存在。他在自編自導、自己主演的連續劇中穿着奇裝異服，不斷刷新觀衆的認知。從“本年度最佳澳大利亞人”到澳大利亞的沙灘文化，Chris Lilley的喜劇對澳大利亞文化中一切有趣的事物發表評論。每個澳大利亞青年隨口就能說出他所扮演的Jonah Hill的經典語錄，並且對他的喜劇品牌如數家珍。
5. 玩轉校園

Every Australian has fond memories of watching Play School as a child and can name reels of their favourite presenters. Play School is a children’s show featuring song and dance, craft and reading and for many taught them more than their first year of school. It is immortalised along with other perennial Australian favourites, The Wiggles and Bananas in Pyjamas.
每個澳大利亞人的記憶中都珍藏着着童年時觀看“玩轉校園”（Play School）的美好片段，並且還能夠歷數出他們喜愛的主持人。Play school是一個以歌舞、手工與閱讀爲內容的兒童節目。對許多人而言，這個節目教的知識比他們在學校第一年學到的還多。和另外兩個廣受歡迎的節目“小恐龍”（The Wiggles）、“香蕉兄弟”（Bananas in Pyjamas）一樣，這檔節目伴隨了一代又一代的澳大利亞人，成爲了不朽的經典。
