我们都爱肥皂剧

Soap Opera

肥皂剧，顾名思义，非常完美、五彩缤纷．但是容易破碎，就好像肥皂吹出来的泡泡一样，短暂而容易幻灭。人们观看肥皂剧，可以暂时性地逃离残酷的现实，沉浸在理想化的情节中，跟着主人公一起随着轻松惬意的剧情度过一段美好的时光。

A soap opera, sometimes called ＂soap＂ for short, is an ongoing, episodic work of dramatic fiction presented in serial format on television or radio. Programs described as soap operas have existed as an entertainment long enough for audiences to recognize them simply by the term soap. The name ＂soap opera＂ stems from the original dramatic serials broadcast on radio that had soap manufacturers such as Procter and Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, and Lever Brothers as sponsors and producers. These early radio serials were broadcast in weekday daytime slots when mostly housewives would be available to listen; thus the shows were aimed at and consumed by a predominantly female audience.
