欲望都市

Sex and the City is an American television romantic sitcom which is adapted from the novel of the same name by Candace Bushnell. It is broadcast from 1998 until 2004 for six years. It follows the lives of four single women in search of the perfect relationship. Despite their different natures, they are inseparable.
《欲望都市》是根据坎迪斯·布什奈尔的同名小说改编而成的一部美国爱情情景剧。从1998年开播到2004年完结,历时6年。故事讲述了4名寻找完美恋爱关系的单身女性的故事。尽管个性截然不同,她们彼此却不可分离。

Carrie Bradshaw is the narrator. Each episode is structured around her train of thought while writing her weekly column, “Sex and the City”. Samantha Jones is an independent businesswoman with a career in public relations. She is not interested in long-term relationships and indulges in exciting “one-nighters”. Miranda Hobbes is a career-minded lawyer with cynical views on relationships and men. In the early seasons she is somewhat portrayed as distrustful of men and this is something she struggles with throughout most of the show. Charlotte York, from a prestigious, super-rich family, is the antithesis of Miranda; optimistic, romantic and a believer in true love and soulmates. But she has high old-fashioned moral standards which are almost impossible to live up to for any lover.
凯莉·布拉德肖是故事的叙述者。每一集的故事发展结构来源于她为“欲望都市”专栏写作时的思路。萨曼莎·琼斯是一位独立的以公关为业的女商人。她不喜欢爱情长跑,沉迷于“一夜风流”。米兰达·霍布斯是一名事业心很强的律师,她对爱情和男人有着愤世嫉俗的观点。在前几季中,她被塑造成对男人不信任的形象,这也是剧中该角色一直倍感挣扎的问题。夏洛特·约克来自声名显赫的富裕家庭。她与米兰达刚好呈对立面:乐观、浪漫,相信真爱和心灵伴侣的存在。但是她有着严谨而古板的高标准,几乎没有一个恋人能够达到这样的标准。

Over the course of its six seasons, Sex and the City was nominated for over fifty Emmy Awards, and won seven. The show has also been nominated for twenty-four Golden Globe Awards, and won eight.
在该剧播出的六季期间,《欲望都市》获得50项艾美奖提名,荣获7个奖项;它还获得24项金球奖提名,荣获8个奖项。
