MythBusters
流言终结者
MythBusters is a science entertainment television program created by Peter Rees and produced for the Discovery Channel. The series is transmitted by numerous international broadcasters and other Discovery channels worldwide. The show's hosts, special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, use elements of the scientific method to test the validity of rumors, myths, movie scenes, adages, Internet videos, and news stories. The show is one of the oldest — and the most popular — on Discovery Channel currently in production.
《流言终结者》是由皮特·瑞斯制作的一档美国科普电视节目,在探索频道播出。该系列节目曾在多个探索频道以及多个国家的电视台转播。该节目由特效专家亚当·萨维奇和杰米·海纳曼主持,他们利用自身的专业和技巧,针对各种广为流传的谣言传说、电影情节、俗语格言、网络视频、新闻故事进行验伪实验。该节目是探索频道仍在出品的、时间持续最长、观众欢迎度最高的节目之一。
Each MythBusters episode focuses typically on two or more popular beliefs, Internet rumors, or other myths. The list of myths tested by the series is compiled from many sources, including the personal experiences of cast and crew, as well as fan suggestions. During the second season, members of Savage's and Hyneman's behind-the-scenes team were organized into a second team of Mythbusters (“The Build Team”). They generally tested myths separately from the main duo and operated from another workshop.
每一集的《流言终结者》集中解决两个或更多的大众流言、网络谣言或都市传奇。这些流言的来源十分广泛,既有来自节目组工作人员的亲身经历,也有观众贡献的各种想法。在第二季中,萨维奇和海纳曼的幕后团队被改编到《流言终结者》的第二分队,即“建筑小组”。与之前两人搭档的套路有所不同,这次是在另外一间工作室破解另外的流言。
MythBusters refers both to the name of the documentary and also the cast members who test the experiments.
《流言终结者》这个名字一方面代表的是这个纪录片本身赋予的任务,另一方面也指所有用实验破除这些流言的全体工作人员。
