乘風(fēng)破浪的姐姐們（上）

Just two short weeks after pop idol-producing talent show?Youth With You?wrapped up a hugely successful season, China is once again abuzz over a new reality TV singing contest — but this one is significantly different. Mango TV’s?Sisters Who Make Waves?swaps cutesy teens and twenty-somethings for a cast of mid-career female celebrities who are all over the age of 30, with the eldest competitor aged 52.

在流行偶像選秀節(jié)目《青春與你》大獲成功的兩周后，一場新的真人秀歌唱比賽再次在中國引起了熱議——但這次卻截然不同。芒果電視臺(tái)的姐妹們掀起了一股熱潮，她們把嬌媚的十幾歲和二十幾歲的年輕人換成了一批30歲以上的職業(yè)生涯中期的女明星，其中年齡最大的競爭對(duì)手只有52歲

After debuting this weekend, the show has triggered a wave of discussion around ageist stereotypes and female empowerment.?A?hashtag?tied to the show’s Chinese name — #乘風(fēng)破浪的姐姐# — has already attracted 7.63 billion views on the Twitter-like platform Weibo and after the first set of episodes aired on June 12,?Sisters?pulled in a total of more than?370 million views?in its first three days of release.

自上周末首播以來，該劇引發(fā)了一波關(guān)于年齡歧視和女性賦權(quán)的討論。標(biāo)簽與顯示的中文名字——#乘風(fēng)破浪的姐姐#——已經(jīng)吸引了76.3億的瀏覽量類似推特的微博平臺(tái)和第一組集后6月12日播出的姐妹拉在總共3.7億多視圖的頭三天

Sisters?is a knock-out competition where 30 female contestants are battling it out for 5 places in an all-female singing group. The top candidates will be selected by judges and the viewing audience based on four factors: individual qualities, potential to fit in a band, vocal expression, and on-stage performance.

姐妹會(huì)是一項(xiàng)淘汰賽，30名女性選手將在一個(gè)全女子歌唱團(tuán)體中爭奪5個(gè)席位。評(píng)委和觀眾將根據(jù)個(gè)人素質(zhì)、融入樂隊(duì)的潛力、聲音表達(dá)能力和舞臺(tái)表現(xiàn)四個(gè)因素選出最佳候選人。

While similar pop idol-creating shows often feature young, largely unknown individuals hoping for a chance at stardom,?Sisters?features a host of?high-achieving celebrities with established careers that are already familiar to much of the audience.

類似的流行偶像選秀節(jié)目通常都是一些默默無聞的年輕人，他們希望有機(jī)會(huì)成為明星，而這群姐妹們則是一群事業(yè)有成的明星，這些明星已經(jīng)為很多觀眾所熟知。
