听说...最近电视剧《都挺好》很火。火到什么程度呢？好多朋友想看相关的推送，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，那就满足大家的需求。
今天，我们就一起来盘点下英文媒体的相关报道。
首先我们看看《都挺好》的英文怎么说？All Is Well.
Wikipedia的介绍是：
All Is Well is a 2019 Chinese drama television series that premiered on Zhejiang Television and Jiangsu Television in China on March 1 2019.
all is well
all is well就是“一切都好，一切顺利”的意思，英文解释为“everything is in a good or acceptable state”举个：
I hope all is well with my followers.
我希望我的读者们一切安好。
而提到All is well就让我想到《三傻大闹宝莱坞（3 idiots）》里的经典台词：Aal izz well就是来自于英语的“All is well”。
关于“All is well”再扯一句，有同学可能会问了，为啥不是“All are well”而是is？刚好看到知名的问答平台Quora有这么一个问题：Which is correct "all is well" or “all are well”?
答案是：都可以，取决于具体语境。（They are both correct but in different contexts.）
If all refers to everything then it's is.
If all refers to every person in a group of people then it's are.
下面进入正题。
看看「经济学人（The Economist）」是怎么介绍《都挺好》的：
· A hit TV series in China skewers cranky old parents
skewer

It is no mean feat to be one of the top-ten trending hashtags on Weibo China's equivalent of Twitter for 20 consecutive days and counting. “All is Well” a show on provincial television which premiered on March 1st has done just that.The show tells the story of a fictional Chinese family torn by internal conflict. The female protagonist Su Mingyu is barely on speaking terms with her widowed father and one of her two brothers.The father is a nagging crank who expects his two adult sons to bankroll his lavish tastes. This leads to constant bickering between the brothers neither of whom wants to be called unfilial.be no mean feat

3) Twitter-like Weibo (Reuters)

soap opera
就是我们所谓的“肥皂剧”，英文解释为“A soap opera is a popular television drama series about the daily lives and problems of a group of people who live in a particular place.”
Wikipedia对“soap opera”的定义：
A soap opera is an ongoing drama serial on television or radio featuring the lives of many characters and their emotional relationships.顺便说一下，「肥皂剧」这个中文词就是从英文传来的外来辞汇。那么英文中为什么把这类电视剧叫「肥皂剧」？
有意思的是，因为早期经常收听广播节目的大部分是家庭主妇，于是就经常在节目中插播“肥皂”等洗涤用品的广告。
The first serial considered to be a "soap opera" was Painted Dreams which debuted on October 20 1930 on Chicago radio station WGN. Early radio series such as Painted Dreams were broadcast in weekday daytime slots usually five days a week. Most of the listeners would be housewives. Thus the shows were aimed at and consumed by a predominantly female audience. （Wikipedia）
