当国际流行文化遇上中国文艺游客

当地官员说，过去两年中，美国西北部多雨城市、太平洋沿岸的西雅图所迎接的中国游客数量骤增90%。

The reason: the huge popularity of the Chinese romantic comedy 'Finding Mr. Right,' in which a woman from Chinese mainland travels to Seattle to give birth. Directed by Xue Xiaolu and starring Tang Wei, the film has grossed more than $85 million in China since its release last year. (The movie's Chinese title translates literally to 'Beijing meets Seattle.')

理由：叫好又叫座的中国浪漫喜剧片《北京遇上西雅图》讲述了中国大陆一名女子远赴西雅图生子的故事。这部由薛晓璐执导、汤唯主演的电影自去年上映以来在中国狂揽超过8,500万美元票房。

The city has attracted so many Chinese tourists that CCTV, China's state broadcaster, sent a journalist to cover the city's New Year's Eve celebrations and a series of stories about the Pacific Northwest region.

鉴于西雅图如此受热捧，中国中央电视台还专程派驻了一名记者报道西雅图的新年夜庆典活动以及一系列有关西雅图的故事。

LOS ANGELES

洛杉矶

Los Angeles has long been a favorite destination for Chinese tourists visiting the U.S. but lately, they've been asking for detours to nearby Pasadena to pay homage to their favorite sitcom, 'The Big Bang Theory.' Fans are requesting visits to places including the campus of California Institute of Technology as well as to a particular Cheesecake Factory outlet, which both figure prominently in the CBS sitcom that Chinese fans stream online.
