DOWNTON ABBEY (AND OTHER TV SHOWS):

唐顿庄园(和其他的电视剧)：

From Doctor Who to Sherlock Holmes, British TV shows are doing well among American audience. Although the success of Game of Thrones shows the appreciation among American viewers for violence and sexuality, Downton Abbey has nonetheless succeeded as a period drama with a completely different appeal. There is just something so quaint and refreshing about these stereotypically British shows, and we Americans love it.

从神秘博士到夏洛克，英剧在美国一直广受欢迎。尽管权力的游戏大热暗示了美国观众们对于色情和暴力的癖好，唐顿庄园作为一部口味截然不同的历史剧依然大获成功。这些代表性的英剧总是有几分让人耳目一新的精巧，美国人也是爱不释手。

 

 

THE ROYAL FAMILY:

皇室家族：

Americans have been following the royal family for centuries, from Queen Victoria’s coronation in 1838 to Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer’s marriage in 1981. More recently, we obsessed over the marriage between Prince William and Kate Middleton, following stories and tweeting about the royal engagement, the wedding, her clothes, and the royal baby. Part of this might just be indulging that childhood fascination with castles and royalty, the pomp associated with these royal affairs, and the romance of an ordinary woman becoming royal through the power of love.
