Seinfeld was one of the funniest TV shows ever. Pretty much everyone loved it. Everyone, that is, in the United States. And probably in many other developed countries, too. Because, after all, anyone engaged in the daily grind would connect with the show’s absurd take on the odd, quirky details of modern life. But what about people in developing countries? Or what if we were to visit a tribe deep in the Amazon that lived a more or less Stone Age existence. If we plopped them down in front of Seinfeld, would they get it? Would They Get It? Probably not. But they would understand that something funny is going on. Why? Because they’d hear laughter on the soundtrack.
賽恩菲爾德是有史以來最有趣的電視節(jié)目之一。幾乎人人都喜愛這個節(jié)目。那就是在美國的每個人。可能在其他許多發(fā)達(dá)國家，也有人喜歡這個節(jié)目。因為，畢竟，每天從事單調(diào)工作的大眾都會和現(xiàn)代生活的離奇、古怪細(xì)節(jié)有聯(lián)系。但發(fā)展中國家的人們喜歡那個節(jié)目嗎？或者，如果我們訪問一個亞馬遜深處的部落，他們過著或多或少石器時代的生活。如果我們將它們放在賽恩菲爾德面前，他們會怎么做呢？他們會理解嗎？很可能理解不了。不過，他們會明白有趣的事要發(fā)生。為什么呢？因為他們想聽到電影配樂中的笑聲。
