A 你眼睛怎麼紅紅的？昨晚沒睡好嗎？
nǐ yǎnjīng zěnme hónghóng de? zuówǎn méi shuì hǎo ma?
How come your eyes are so red? Didn't you sleep last night?
B 哎，昨晚一點多才睡，早上又起得早，到現在還昏昏沉沉的呢。
āi, zuówǎn yīdiǎnduō cái shuì, zǎoshang yòu qǐ de zǎo, dàoxiànzài hái hūnhūnchénchén de ne.
Agh, I didn't get to sleep until after one last night, and I got up early. I'm still so fuzzy.
A 你幹嘛那麼晚睡？熬夜看球賽嗎？
nǐ gànmá nàme wǎn shuì? áoyè kàn qiúsài ma?
Why on earth did you go to sleep so late? Were you staying up late to watch a ball game?
B 哪有！我和我媽一起看韓劇呢。中央8臺每天很晚才放，我們等得可辛苦呢。
nǎyǒu! wǒ hé wǒ mā yīqǐ kàn hánjù ne. zhōngyāngbātái měitiān hěn wǎn cái fàng, wǒmen děng de kě xīnkǔ ne.
Ha! I was watching Korean soap operas with my mom. CCTV 8 only airs them really late. It was really hard for us to wait.
A 天啊，你們還真是執著。不過現在好多頻道都在放韓劇，而且收視率都很高。韓劇大有俘虜全民之心的態勢啊。
tiāna, nǐmen hái zhēnshì zhízhuó. bùguò xiànzài hǎo duō píndào dōu zài fàng hánjù, érqiě shōu shì lǜ dōu hěn gāo. hánjù dà yǒu fúlǔ quánmín zhī xīn de tàishì a.
Good lord, you guys are really persistent. But these days a lot of channels show Korean soaps, and their ratings are really good. They've captured the heart of the entire country!
B 可不是嘛。記得九十年代末的時候還是日本偶像劇的天下。可是瞬間“韓流”來襲，大街小巷都哈韓，各種韓式料理，韓國明星，韓國小說，韓國服裝都雨後春筍般冒出來。
kěbushì ma. jìde jiǔshíniándàimò de shíhou hái shì rìběn ǒuxiàngjù de tiānxià. kěshì shùnjiān `` hánliú" lái xí, dàjiēxiǎoxiàng dōu hā hán, gèzhǒng hánshì liào lǐ, Hánguó míngxīng, Hánguó xiǎoshuō, Hánguó fúzhuāng dōu yǔhòuchūnsǔn bān mào chūlai.
Ain't that the truth. I remember at the end of the nineties Japanese soap operas were on top of the world. But then there was a sudden sneak attack from Korea, and now ``Loving Korea" is all the rage. Everywhere you go are Korean cooking, Korean stars, Korean novels, Korean clothes-- they're popping up like mushrooms after a spring rain.
A 說起來“韓流”都已經風靡了整整六年了。年輕人中更流傳著一股韓式嘻哈風，無論你是喜歡，還是反感，人們所感受到的來自韓國的滲透和撞擊卻是實實在在的。“韓流”作為一種大眾流行文化，確實有旺盛的力量。
shuōqǐlái `` hánliú" dōu yǐjīng fēngmǐ le zhěngzhěng liù nián le. niánqīngrén zhōng gèng liúchuán zhe yī gǔ hánshì xī hā fēng, wúlùn nǐ shì xǐhuan, hái shì fǎngǎn, rénmen suǒ gǎnshòudào de láizì Hánguó de shèntòu hé zhuàngjī què shì shíshízàizàide. `` hánliú" zuòwéi yīzhǒng dàzhòng liúxíng wénhuà, quèshí yǒu wàngshèng de lìliang.
Now that you mention it, the fad for all things Korean has already been going on for a good six years. It's even more widespread among young people. No matter whether you like it or not, it's a real fact that people are absorbing all kinds of stuff from Korea. The fad for Korean stuff is a kind of mass pop culture. It's really powerful.
B 我作為一個忠實的哈韓族，對此還是有點了解的。起先是韓國音樂的入侵，掀起了一股韓國舞曲潮流。曾經歐美鄉村音樂、搖滾樂以及日本的電子樂佔據了中國大多外來流行樂的市場，而韓國採集眾國之長，融合R&B唱法、hiphop舞蹈等黑人音樂元素所創編的韓式街舞，剛一推出就大受歡迎。接著，韓國的時尚也開始在國內流行。很多年輕人都挑染頭髮或是穿著韓式闊腿褲。雖說有很多人批判韓國音樂模仿黑人舞曲，電視劇模仿日本偶像劇，並沒有真正屬於自己的東西，可是我倒覺得這代表了韓國流行文化能取長補短，創造出自己的風格。
wǒ zuòwéi yī ge zhōngshí de hāHán zú , duìcǐ hái shì yǒudiǎnr liǎojiě de. qǐxiān shì Hánguó yīnyuè de rùqīn, xiānqǐ le yī gǔ Hánguó wǔqǔ cháoliú. céngjīng Oūměi xiāngcūn yīnyuè , yáogǔnlè yǐjí rìběn de diànzǐ lè zhànjù le Zhōngguó dàduō wàilái liúxínglè de shìchǎng, ér Hánguó cǎijí zhòngguózhīcháng, rónghé R&B chàngfǎ, hiphop wǔdǎo děng hēirén yīnyuè yuánsù suǒ chuàngbiān de hánshì jiēwǔ, gāng yī tuīchū jiù dàshòuhuānyíng. jiēzhe, Hánguó de shíshàng yě kāishǐ zàiguónèi liúxíng. hěn duō niánqīngrén dōu tiāorǎn tóufa huòshì chuān zhuó hánshì kuòtuǐkù. suīshuō yǒu hěn duō rén pīpàn Hánguó yīnyuè mófǎng hēirén wǔqǔ, diànshìjù mófǎng rìběn ǒuxiàngjù, bìng méiyǒu zhēnzhèng shǔyú zìjǐ de dōngxi, kěshì wǒ dào juéde zhè dàibiǎo le Hánguó liúxíng wénhuà néng qǔchángbǔduǎn, chuàngzàochū zìjǐ de fēnggé.
As a loyal Korea-phile, I can sort of understand it. First, let's talk about the onslaught of Korean music. It's caused a surge in the popularity of Korean dance. In the past, American country music, rock-n-roll and Japanese electronica occupied the market in China for foreign pop music. Now Korean music has gathered up a ton of fans, combining the singing style of R&B, hip-hop dance moves and other elements from black music to create Korean style street dancing. As soon as it appeared on the scene, it was popular. Next, Korean styles are becoming popular in China. A lot of young people dye their hair or wear Korean style wide-legged pants. Although a lot of people criticize Korean dance for imitating black dance, and their TV shows for imitating Japanese programs, so that they don't really have anything of their own, I think that this represents Korean culture's ability to complement its own shortcomings with others' strengths. It's created its own style.
A 這一點我支持你。我也覺得這體現了韓國文化具有很強的包容力和創造力。
zhèyīdiǎn wǒ zhīchí nǐ. wǒ yě juéde zhè tǐxiàn le Hánguó wénhuà jùyǒu hěn qiáng de bāorónglì hé chuàngzàolì.
I agree with you on that. I also think this shows that Korean culture has a great capacity for tolerance and innovation.
B 對啊。我覺得韓劇最大的魅力就在於它貼近生活，即使像《大長今》這樣嚴肅的歷史題材都絲毫沒有沉悶的感覺。還有像《看了又看》和《人魚小姐》這些肥皂劇，即使長達幾十、上百集，觀眾仍是忠心耿耿追看，伴隨劇情始終。我和我媽媽就是其中兩個“死忠粉絲”。我們家還有一堆的DVD全是韓國流行偶像劇。
duìā. wǒ juéde hánjù zuìdà de mèilì jiù zàiyú tā tiējìn shēnghuó, jíshǐ xiàng《dàchángjīn》 zhèyàng yánsù de lìshǐ tícái dōu sīháo méiyǒu chénmèn de gǎnjué. háiyǒu xiàng《 kànleyòukàn 》 hé 《 Rényǔ xiǎojiě 》 zhèxiē féizàojù, jíshǐ chángdá jǐshí, shàngbǎi jí, guānzhòng réng shì zhōngxīngěnggěng zhuī kàn, bànsuí jùqíng shǐzhōng. wǒ hé wǒ māma jiùshì qí zhōng liǎng ge `` sǐ zhōng fěnsī" . wǒmen jiā háiyǒu yīduī de DVD, quán shì Hánguó liúxíng ǒuxiàngjù.
Right. I think the most attractive thing about Korean soap operas is that they stay close to real life. Even a show with such a serious historical topic as ``Da Chang Jin," isn't at all depressing or somber. And then there are soap operas like ``Look and look again" and ``Little Fisherlady." Even though they go on for dozens or even hundreds of episodes, the audience still watches them loyally. They follow the story from beginning to end. My mom and I are two die-hard fans like that. We have a big pile of DVDs at home. They're all Korean dramas.
A 我就沒耐心看這種幾百集的電視劇。
wǒ jiù méi nàixīn kàn zhèzhǒng jǐbǎi jí de diànshìjù.
I don't have the patience to watch TV shows like that with hundreds of episodes.
B 我敢打保票，你一旦嘗試，就會著迷。韓劇裡亮眼的明星、唯美的劇情，精緻的畫面和細節，都是吸引眼球的“法寶”。
wǒ gǎn dǎ bǎo piào , nǐ yīdàn chángshì, jiù huì zháomí. hánjù lǐ liàngyǎn de míngxīng, wéiměi de jùqíng, jīngzhì de huàmiàn hé xìjié, dōu shì xīyǐn yǎn qiú de `` fǎ bǎo" .
As soon as you try it, you'll be hooked, I guarantee it! Korean shows have good-looking stars, aesthetic stories, exquisite scenes and details. They're all magic charms for grabbing your attention.
A 這一點我很同意。韓劇中人物的服裝和髮型精緻漂亮，已經成為很多年輕人模仿的對象。就連韓國新婚夫婦所穿的古代韓服，也成為國內新人們拍婚紗照片的選擇。
zhèyīdiǎn wǒ hěn tóngyì. hánjù zhōng rénwù de fúzhuāng hé fāxíng jīngzhì piàoliang, yǐjīng chéngwéi hěnduō niánqīngrén mófǎng de duìxiàng. jiù lián Hánguó xīnhūnfūfù suǒ chuān de gǔdài Hánfú, yě chéngwéi guónèi xīnrén men pāi hūnshā zhàopiàn de xuǎnzé.
I really agree about that. The costumes and hairstyles in Korean dramas are really exquisitely beautiful. A lot of young people want to imitate them. Some Chinese newlyweds are even choosing to wear the ancient clothes in Korean dramas when they get their wedding pictures taken.
B 是啊，我覺得韓劇給人的感覺很東方，儘管場景都很現代，但骨子裡卻很傳統。這種現代和傳統並存的“泡菜文化”大概就是韓國流行文化受歡迎的原因。
shì a, wǒ juéde hánjù gěi rén de gǎnjué hěn dōngfāng, jǐnguǎn chǎngjǐng dōu hěn xiàndài, dàn gǔzilǐ què hěn chuántǒng. zhèzhǒng xiàndài hé chuántǒng bìngcún de `` pāocài wénhuà" dàgài jiùshì Hánguó liúxíng wénhuà shòu huānyíng de yuányīn.
Yeah, I think the impression you get from Korean dramas is very Oriental. Even though the scenes are all in the modern world, they still have tradition deep in their bones. This kind of ``kimchee culture," where modernity and tradition coexist is probably the reason Korean pop culture is so well-received.
A 啊，說起泡菜，真是不能不提我最愛的韓國料理“石鍋拌飯”，口水都要流下來了。
ā, shuōqǐ pāocài, zhēnshì bùnéng bùtí wǒ zuì ài de Hánguó liàolǐ `` shíguōbànfàn" , kǒushuǐ dōu yào liúxiàlai le.
Ah, hearing you talk about kimchee, I can't help mentioning my favorite Korean dish, stirred rice in a stone bowl. My mouth is watering!
B 我也被你說得餓了，什麼時候一起去吃韓國菜吧，我請客！
wǒ yě bèi nǐ shuō de è le, shénmeshíhòu yīqǐ qù chī hánguócài ba, wǒ qǐngkè!
You're making me hungry talking about it. Let's go out for some Korean food sometime. It's on me!
