2010年12月15日，美國駐上海總領(lǐng)事康碧翠(BeatriceCamp)女士和蘇阿麗參加了芝麻街工作室全新少兒中文節(jié)目“芝麻街：大鳥看世界”的首播儀式，該套節(jié)目將在哈哈少兒頻道首播。以下為蘇阿麗為此撰寫的博文。
就像在美國長大的很多孩子一樣，我幼年最初的記憶就是坐在電視機(jī)前看芝麻街節(jié)目。那個(gè)綠黃的標(biāo)志，開場的歌曲和彩色的木偶教會(huì)了我和同齡的孩子們數(shù)數(shù)和享受讀書的樂趣。在作為美國領(lǐng)事館世博事務(wù)聯(lián)絡(luò)官員在上海世博會(huì)工作期間，我很幸運(yùn)地能和為專門創(chuàng)作世博會(huì)芝麻街特別節(jié)目的團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，將芝麻街的動(dòng)物們帶到美國館為參觀者帶來樂趣。通過這些活動(dòng)，我能夠看到中國的小朋友們也非常喜歡大鳥和其他的動(dòng)物，并從中學(xué)到了很多東西。
昨天，我很榮幸的陪同總領(lǐng)事康碧翠女士出席了全新中文芝麻街系列節(jié)目《大鳥看世界》在上海的啟動(dòng)儀式。這個(gè)全新的節(jié)目將會(huì)在上海哈哈少兒頻道播出，并為觀眾們帶來一個(gè)專門為中國小朋友們創(chuàng)作的新伙伴-名叫麗麗的老虎。老虎麗麗、艾摩和大鳥一起將會(huì)教小朋友們尋找關(guān)于健康、人類身體、自然和環(huán)境，以及科學(xué)和探索發(fā)現(xiàn)等問題的答案。
在啟動(dòng)儀式上，一群小朋友幫助大鳥找到了他的新朋友老虎麗麗，老虎麗麗作為答謝，教小朋友們說“hello”。與艾摩的“你好”聲不同，老虎麗麗用她低沉的咆哮聲吼出了“你好”。孩子們笑得很開心，學(xué)著麗麗的“你好”聲并與大鳥合影。從他們眼中的開心和笑聲中我可以清楚地感覺到這個(gè)新的兒童劇將會(huì)一如既往地為中國的孩子們帶來歡樂，如同當(dāng)年帶給我快樂一樣。
Like many children growing up in the U.S., some of my earliestmemories of television involve watching SesameStreet. The green and yellow sign, opening songand colorful Muppets taught me and generations of children to countand to enjoy learning to read. In my job as theU.S. Consulate’s Expo Liaison Officer during the Shanghai Expo thisyear, I was lucky enough to work with the team that produced theSesame Street show at the Expo and partner with them to creatememorable appearances of Sesame Street characters at the USApavilion. Through these events I was able to seefirsthand how Chinese children today also enjoy learning from Elmoand the Sesame Street team.
Yesterday I had the honor of accompanying Consul General BeatriceCamp to the launch of Sesame Workshop’s new Chinese-languageproduction of “Sesame Street: Big Bird Looks at the World” whichwill be broadcast by Shanghai Toonmax MediaCompany. The show will feature a brand new SesameStreet character created only for China — a martial arts expertMuppet called Tiger Lily. Tiger Lily will joinBig Bird and Elmo to teach kids to search for answers to basicquestions about the world around them focusing on Health and theHuman Body, Nature and the Environment, and Science andDiscovery.
At the launch a group of children helped Big Bird find his newfriend Tiger Lily and she, in turn, taught them to sayhello--unlike Elmo who says “ni hao” Tiger Lily “growls herhello”. The children laughed with delight andloudly practiced their growling hellos before taking a photo withBig Bird. It was clear from the joy in their eyesand wide smiles that the show will be as fun for children in Chinaas the original Sesame Street was for me.
