bbc中国春节中英文

2016年春节，BBC推出的《中国新年》三集纪录片，先是在英国国内获得了较高的收视率，3月12号登陆央视后，迅速引起了中国观众的注意。《中国新年：全球最大的盛会》在凭借巧妙的叙事和严谨的制作获得较高的评价同时，角度和思维的180度转变也让不少中国人感到意外。近几年，中国的经济发展以及国际地位的提高，让越来越多的外国工作室选择中国话题。“中国形象”在国际媒体中出现的频率有所增加，这在侧面上增加了中国的话语权力。拓展了表达的平台，之前一些负面的形象也得以局部扭转。但是我们仍然可以看到，在资本主义体制下的文化产品，依然遵循着一定的“现实主义风格”，通过好的故事和文化符号，继续扮演着“再造现实”的意识形态功能。人们通过这些好的故事和文化符号来审视世界和人们自己。什么是“现实主义风格”，这里要做一个概念上的界定。这里的“现实主义”不是指文学运动的或者是思想运动中所提到的“关注现实生活，反映现实生活”的写作手法，而是专指将反映现实生活的文本进行艺术加工后使其接近“现实真实”的媒介表现手法。它通过一系列媒介传播手段来隐匿传播者的主观性，呈现一种“真实再现”的神话。作为一套可以接受的或习惯的媒介符码，不管它所表现的内容是现实的还是虚构的，在现实主义风格的粉饰下，人们都不由自主的相信了。每一种媒体形式都按照不同的现实主义模式来进行叙事，而纪录片同样有自己的现实主义风格。本文主要从叙事学和符号学的角度来诠释BBC纪录片的现实主义风格。一、讲述的方式：“中国新年”故事之再现叙事学把人看作是“讲故事者”，认为感情、美学、价值观构成了我们行为和信仰的基础。因此人们更容易被一个好故事打动而不是一个简单的事实。杰拉德普林斯在著作《叙事学：叙事的结构与功能》中强调叙事学是研究各种叙事采取何种叙事手段以及想要达到何种目的。因此不同作品的叙事会因为其目的的不同呈现出不同的特征。笔者试图从叙事结构、叙事视点、叙事逻辑、叙事节奏等角度来分析BBC对于“中国新年”故事的呈现。（一）立体感：空间和时间结构的双重运用叙事的定义指出叙事是对时间序列中的一系列（虚构或者真实的）事件或者状态的讲述[1]。因此时间的结构在叙事中较为常用，大多数的故事习惯按照编年的形式讲述时间的缘起，发展、高潮与结尾。每一段故事的发生都会局限在一定的空间范围内，这是因为在书面和口头表达中，地点的转换需要给予交代。得益于电视画面的直观，电视叙事可以轻松地实现时空的同时转换。《中国新年：全球最的盛会》为了展现中国新年的盛大将两种叙事结构融合到了一起：该片分为《回家》《团圆》《欢庆》3集，每集时长一小时，记录了五位英国主持人体验中国新年庆祝活动的旅程。从每一集的标题可以明显地看出整个故事的时间结构，分别表现了春节前准备回家，春节中家人团聚以及春节后人们欢庆的内容，这是严格的按照时间的发展来进行组织的。但在每一集的讲述当中，又可以发现明显地空间转换，第一集中围绕“回家”这一个主题，重点介绍了春运和摩托车骑行等春节回家的场景，故事中的人们从工作和学习的地方返回到自己的家乡，这里涉及到多处地点的转换，其中两位英国主持人戴夫和赛亲身体验了农民工摩托车骑行回乡的过程，故事实现了从北京到湖南的地点转换。同样，故事在讲述中国传统的时候，也多次运用了空间的结构，讲述烟花时从香港到湖南，讲述白酒时从北京到山西，讲述捕鱼时从香港到吉林。这种双重叙事结构并没有产生太多的杂乱感，而是产生了一种立体的感觉，春节这个故事在中国各地“同时在上演”。空间的结构弥补了时间叙述中故事的讲述顺序而产生的时间错觉，因为人们通常会把后叙述的事情当做是后发生的。因此，在时间结构的基础上加入空间结构的方法，在展现“中国新年”过程的同时，也体现出了其规模的巨大，涉及的地点之广，人口之多，就如同他们预设的一样“全球最大的盛会”。（二）多重叙述：自由变换的内视角叙述视点，也就是人们所站的角度或者说是代表的人物身份。法国的热奈特将它称作“叙事聚集”，并给出了三种分类：全知视角、内视角和外视角。内视角（叙述者=人物）往往是从一个或者几个人物的角度出发，来讲述整个故事，可以是故事的主人公，也可以是故事的参与者，这种视角既包含了见证者对他人的外部客观描写，也允许对其自身的心理描写。这种角度更加接近于人们的生活现实。《中国新年》采用的是复合内视角的手法，故事由五个英国主持人来进行讲述，他们都使用了第一人称。在《回家》当中，核心故事主要在哈尔滨，主要有三位主持人分别讲述；《团聚》聚焦在背景，由戴夫和赛共同讲述。《欢庆》地点集中在香港，主要由凯特和安特主导讲述。故事的开始，主持人站在地标性建筑物面前，开始交代故事的发生。画面发出的是主持人的真实声音，他们用“我”这个人称代词，强调了叙述者的在场。故事的真实客观性在他们的亲历过程中展现。首先，他们都是以一种对“春节”不太了解的态度来进行调查和发现，并表达自己的主观感受。凯特和安特体验了冰长城的滑道，戴夫和赛直接进入到中国百姓的家庭，体验品酒、包饺子、看春晚等一系列事件。女主持人陆思敬也跑到河北暖泉镇去探寻“打树花”的奥秘。人们经常会在节目中听到这样的主观评价“Remarkable”“amazing”。当叙事采用这种内视角时，人们对这类主观词语并不会感到奇怪。这种“直接引语”的使用，增加了叙述者可以解释和阐述的空间。真正的作者被完美的隐藏于话语之后，在减少介入性的同时，最大化表达的空间。除了五个主持人之外，会发现有许多中国人也作为第二叙述者或者是第三叙述者的身份出现。他们讲述关于自己的个体故事。在第一集《回家》中，九年没回家过年的李桐瑜踏上了归家之旅。作为农民工摩托大军的成员，永贤和冰灵日夜兼程赶回老家团聚。第二集《团聚》中，江燕一家给人们展现了中国传统家庭的年夜饭。《中国新年》显然呈现的是“关于中国人的故事”，并且还面向部分的中国观众。人们通常会认为直接叙述的事情会比转述的事情可信度更高。当这些中国叙述者出现时，叙述者和受述者的身份就出现了重叠。中国的叙述者在身份上更加接近中国观众，因此会被认为可信度更高，他们共享一种文化或者语境，传达的信息也更容易被理解。另外这种暂时赋予话语权的做法，也能传达出一种客观公正的印象。

春节，是农历正月初一，又叫阴历年，俗称“过年”。这是我国民间最隆重、最热闹的一个传统节日。春节的历史很悠久，它起源于殷商时期年头岁尾的祭神祭祖活动。按照我国农历，正月初一古称元日、元辰、元正、元朔、元旦等，俗称年初一，到了民国时期，改用公历，公历的一月一日称为元旦，把农历的一月一日叫春节。春节到了，意味着春天将要来临，万象复苏草木更新，新一轮播种和收获季节又要开始。人们刚刚度过冰天雪地草木凋零的漫漫寒冬，早就盼望着春暖花开的日子，当新春到来之际，自然要充满喜悦载歌载舞地迎接这个节日。千百年来，人们使年俗庆祝活动变得异常丰富多彩，每年从农历腊月二十三日起到年三十，民间把这段时间叫做“迎春日”，也叫“扫尘日”，在春节前扫尘搞卫生，是我国人民素有的传统习惯。然后就是家家户户准备年货，节前十天左右，人们就开始忙于采购物品，年货包括鸡鸭鱼肉、茶酒油酱、南北炒货、糖饵果品，都要采买充足，还要准备一些过年时走亲访友时赠送的礼品，小孩子要添置新衣新帽，准备过年时穿。在节前要在住宅的大门上粘贴红纸黄字的新年寄语，也就是用红纸写成的春联。屋里张贴色彩鲜艳寓意吉祥的年画，心灵手巧的姑娘们剪出美丽的窗花贴在窗户上，门前挂大红灯笼或贴福字及财神、门神像等，福字还可以倒贴，路人一念福倒了，也就是福气到了，所有这些活动都是要为节日增添足够的喜庆气氛。春节的另一名称叫过年。在过去的传说中，年是一种为人们带来坏运气的想象中的动物。年一来。树木凋蔽，百草不生;年一过，万物生长，鲜花遍地。年如何才能过去呢?需用鞭炮轰 ，于是有了燃鞭炮的习俗，这其实也是烘托热闹场面的又一种方式。春节是个欢乐祥和的节日，也是亲人团聚的日子，离家在外的孩子在过春节时都要回家欢聚。过年的前一夜，就是旧年的腊月三十夜，也叫除夕，又叫团圆夜，在这新旧交替的时候，守岁是最重要的年俗活动之一，除夕晚上，全家老小都一起熬年守岁，欢聚酣饮，共享天伦之乐，北方地区在除夕有吃饺子的习俗，饺子的作法是先和面，和字就是合;饺子的饺和交谐音，合和交有相聚之意，又取更岁交子之意。在南方有过年吃年糕的习惯，甜甜的粘粘的年糕，象征新一年生活甜蜜蜜，步步高。待第一声鸡啼响起，或是新年的钟声敲过，街上鞭炮齐鸣，响声此起彼伏，家家喜气洋洋，新的一年开始了，男女老少都穿着节日盛装，先给家族中的长者拜年祝寿，节中还有给儿童压岁钱，吃团年饭，初二、三就开始走亲戚看朋友，相互拜年，道贺祝福，说些恭贺新喜、恭喜发财、恭喜、过年好等话，祭祖等活动。节日的热烈气氛不仅洋溢在各家各户，也充满各地的大街小巷，一些地方的街市上还有舞狮子，耍龙灯，演社火，游花市，逛庙会等习俗。这期间花灯满城，游人满街，热闹非凡，盛况空前，直要闹到正月十五元宵节过后，春节才算真正结束了。 The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month, often one month later than the Gregorian calendar. It originated in the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 BC-c. 1100 BC) from the peoples sacrifice to gods and ancestors at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one.Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. The Chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.Many customs accompany the Spring Festival. Some are still followed today, but others have weakened.On the 8th day of the 12th lunar month, many families make laba porridge, a delicious kind of porridge made with glutinous rice, millet, seeds of Jobs tears, jujube berries, lotus seeds, beans, longan and gingko.The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month is called Preliminary Eve. At this time, people offer sacrifice to the kitchen god. Now however, most families make delicious food to enjoy themselves.After the Preliminary Eve, people begin preparing for the coming New Year. This is called "Seeing the New Year in".Store owners are busy then as everybody goes out to purchase necessities for the New Year. Materials not only include edible oil, rice, flour, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also fruit, candies and kinds of nuts. Whats more, various decorations, new clothes and shoes for the children as well as gifts for the elderly, friends and relatives, are all on the list of purchasing.Before the New Year comes, the people completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as well as their clothes, bedclothes and all their utensils.Then people begin decorating their clean rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity. All the door panels will be pasted with Spring Festival couplets, highlighting Chinese calligraphy with black characters on red paper. The content varies from house owners wishes for a bright future to good luck for the New Year. Also, pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front doors to ward off evil spirits and welcome peace and abundance.The Chinese character "fu" (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must. The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu comes", both being pronounced as "fudaole." Whats more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door. Red paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on the wall.People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve. At that time, all family members eat dinner together. The meal is more luxurious than usual.

Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.Burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the Spring Festival. People thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities once the government took security, noise and pollution factors into consideration. As a replacement, some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to, some break little balloons to get the sound too, while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room.The lively atmosphere not only fills every household, but permeates to streets and lanes. A series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held for days. The Spring Festival then comes to an end when the Lantern Festival is finished.

The Spring Festival then comes to an end when the Lantern Festival is finished. China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Origin of Chinese New Year The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of Nature). Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. All agree, however, that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese solely means "year", was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year. One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said, "I hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?" So, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time. After that, the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortal god. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests, people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most. From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term "Guo Nian", which may mean "Survive the Nian" becomes today "Celebrate the (New) Year" as the word "guo" in Chinese having both the meaning of "pass-over" and "observe". The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around. However, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebration. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West.

Like all Chinese festivals, the date of the new year is determined by the lunar/solar calendar rather than the Western (Gregorian) calendar, so the date of the holiday varies from late January to mid February. The Spring festival celebrates the earth coming back to life, and the start of ploughing and sowing. In the past, feudal rulers of dynasties placed great importance on this occasion, and ceremonies to usher in the season were performed. Preparations for the New Year festival start during the last few days of the last moon. Houses are thoroughly cleaned, debts repaid, hair cut and new clothes bought. Doors are decorated with vertical scrolls of characters on red paper whose texts seek good luck and praise nature, this practice stemming from the hanging of peach-wood charms to keep away ghosts and evil spirits. In many homes incense is burned, and also in the temples as a mark of respect to ancestors. On New Year’s Eve houses are brightly lit and a large family dinner is served. In the south of China sticky-sweet glutinous rice pudding called nian gao is served, while in the north the steamed dumpling jiaozi is popular. Most celebrating the festival stay up till midnight, when fireworks are lit, to drive away evil spirits. New Years day is often spent visiting neighbours, family and friends. The public holiday for New Year lasts 3 days in China, but the festival traditionally lasts till the 15th day of the lunar month and ends with the ‘Lantern Festival’. Here, houses are decorated with colourful lanterns, and yuanxioa, a sweet or savoury fried or boiled dumpling made of glutinous rice flour is eaten.
