释义

名词

一种以谈话为主的电视或广播节目。也称“脱口秀”。

DEFINITION

Noun

A television or radio programme whose main content is conversation. Also known in Mandarin as “脱口秀”.

 

由来
  • “脱口秀”即英语“talk show”的音译兼意译。
  •  在一般的清谈节目中，主持人与嘉宾会围绕某个主题在现场即席讨论。
  • 被邀请参加节目的嘉宾一般来自不同的背景，从事各行各业，能够代表不同年龄层的人士的观点。
  • 清谈节目可以让观众在一个特定的时间范围里，听到针对热
    门话题的不同观点与想法。
  • 节目内容除了涉及民生课题，有时也会谈到较敏感的话题，例
    如“出轨，女人也可以”、“女佣是救星还是灾星”等。
  • 由于考虑到讨论课题的“及时性”，清谈节目的制作通常需要一边拍摄与剪辑，一边播出，因此极具挑战。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “脱口秀” is a paraphrase and transliteration of the English term “talk show”.
  • In a talk show, the host and guests will usually have an unscripted discussion about a certain topic.
  • Guests usually come from a variety of backgrounds and age groups, thus representing views from all walks of life.
  • Talk shows allow viewers or listeners to hear different takes on hot topics.
  • Besides bread-and-butter issues, more provocative topics are also sometimes discussed, for example “Can women have affairs too?” or “Is a domestic helper a saviour or a bane?”
  • In consideration of the “timeliness” of the topics discussed, talk shows usually require shooting and editing to proceed simultaneously with broadcasting, thus making production extremely challenging.
例句

SAMPLE SENTENCE
