That's how good Marvel was at selling superheroes.
這體現了漫威是出色的英雄賣家。
Last year, they released a film called "Guardians of the Galaxy."
去年，他們發售了一部名叫《銀河守護者》的影片。
It's a film that absolutely should not work.
這是一部絕不可能火的影片，
Nobody knew who they were except for comic book nerds like me.
因為除了像我這樣的漫畫書呆子，一般都沒人聽說過這些英雄。
One of the characters is a talking tree.
其中一個形象是一棵會說話的樹。
One of the characters is an anthropomorphic raccoon. It should not work.
另一個形象則是一個擬人化的浣熊。這怎么想也火不了啊。
And they made a killing off of "Guardians of the Galaxy."
但他們真的就拿著《銀河守護者》大賺了一筆。
This character here in the middle, her name is Gamora.
這個中間的形象，她的名字是加美拉。
She's played by Zoe Saldana, and she is strong and smart and fast and fights like a ninja,
她是由佐伊·索爾達娜扮演的，她是一個堅強，聰穎，敏捷，打斗起來和忍者一樣的形象，
and she is played by a beautiful black woman, and my daughter fell in love with her.
由一位美麗的黑人女性扮演，我的女兒愛上了這個形象。
So like any good nerd dad, I went to buy my daughter Gamora stuff,
所以，我就像一般的好爸爸那樣，去給女兒買加美拉的周邊商品。
and when I got to the store, I learned a very interesting thing.
當我到了商店，我得知了一件十分有趣的事情。
If I wanted to buy her a Gamora backpack, well, Gamora's not on it.
如果我想給她買一個加美拉書包，上面是沒有加美拉的。
They probably should have marketed this as "some" of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
也許他們在打標牌的時候，應該標成《銀河守護者》中的“某些人”。
And if I wanted to buy her a lunchbox, she wasn't on it,
如果我想給她買個午飯袋，加美拉也不在上面。
and if I wanted to buy her a t-shirt, she wasn't on it.
T恤也是一樣的。
And as a matter of fact, if I went to the store, as I did, and looked at the display,
事實上，如果我去商店，我確實去看過了，會看到在展品區，
you would find a small picture of Gamora right here,
有一個加美拉的小照片在這兒。
but if you look at any of the actual merchandise on that shelf, Gamora is not on any of it.
但當你仔細看架子上的商品實物時，你會發現加美拉沒有出現在任何商品上。
