We are now the greater part of the way through the year, and no one has recommended a television series to me. In 2018, I would have received (suffered?) a dozen or more suggestions by now. Meanwhile, in political journalism, I notice fewer of the TV allusions — “What Britain needs is a Logan Roy” — with which commentators let readers know that we have a hinterland, however windswept and underpopulated.
今年已經(jīng)過(guò)去大半,但至今還沒(méi)有人向我推薦過(guò)一部電視劇。而在2018年,這個(gè)時(shí)候我早已收到十幾條(甚至說(shuō)遭遇更合適)類似的推薦。同時(shí),在政治新聞報(bào)道中,我也注意到電視典故變少了——評(píng)論員們?cè)ㄟ^(guò)類似“英國(guó)需要一個(gè)洛根?羅伊(Logan Roy)”這樣的說(shuō)法,顯示自己在新聞工作之外還有些其他興趣,哪怕這些興趣愛(ài)好既冷門又稀少。
