Norwegians "love slow," Arve Hjelseth, a sociologist at the Norwegian University of Science, explained to the Wall Street Journal. Watching slow TV is a "sort of celebration of the Norwegian way of doing things, which we believe to be slightly different," he said.

挪威科技大学社会学家阿尔沃向《华尔街日报》解释道，挪威人喜爱“慢节奏”。他说，看慢电视“就像庆祝我们挪威人的做事方式，而且挪威人也知道这点和其他人有些不一样。”

One installment of this particularly Norwegian programming might seem familiar to American viewers: "National Firewood Night," which showed a fire burning for hours in a fireplace, somewhat reminiscent of the Christmas Day Yule Log.

有一集挪威慢节奏节目对美国观众来说可能并不陌生：《国家篝火之夜》这集节目中展示了柴火在壁炉中连续燃烧好几个小时的过程，有点像是在怀念圣诞节的圣诞柴。

And Oystein Johansen, a critic at Norway's biggest daily newspaper, compared the experience to watching car racing.

而来自挪威最出名日报的批评家乔纳森，则把这种现象同观看赛车相提并论。

"People are watching just in case something happens," he told Time, adding that he himself got caught up in the train show and ended up watching it for hours with fascination.

他对《时代》说：“人们看这种节目就是等着看发生点什么。”另外他还说自己本人就被火车的节目迷住了，一直全神贯注地看了好几个小时。
