In the third episode of the Simpsons in 1987, Smithers made his first appearance.

史密瑟斯第一次登场于1987年的《辛普森一家》第三集。

When viewers first laid eyes on Montgomery Burns' assistant, he was black.

当观众第一眼看见这位蒙哥马利·伯恩斯的助手时，他是黑色的。

But when he appeared on screen again he was yellow, because of what the show's creator Matt Groening says was a mistake.

但当他再现荧屏时已变成黄色，因为该剧的创作人马特·格勒宁说这是一次失误。

The 60-year-old claimed that the character was always meant to be yellow, but animators painted him the wrong color and, because they were low on funds, they could not afford a retake.

这位六十岁的老人声称这个人物就该是黄色的，但是动画师上错了颜色，并且因为他们缺少资金而没钱重画。

The writer also revealed that all the characters are yellow, because he wanted them to look different to everything else on TV, and have four fingers because it is easier to draw.

这位原作者也透露了所有的人物之所以是黄色的，是因为他想要这些人物看上去和电视上的其他东西与众不同，而之所以他们是四指的纯粹是因为画起来更容易些。

Talking to TMZ, he said: 'He was always yellow, and they painted him wrong once.

在和美国娱乐资讯网站TMZ的对话中他表示：“他就该是黄色的，只是他们给他上错了一次色。”
