轻松提高英语四六级：2016年上半年十大美剧
9、Roots
《根》
该剧改编自美国黑人作家亚历克斯·哈利(Alex Haley)的同名小说，讲述了黑人从被贩卖到寻找精神之根的种族血泪史。1977年这部小说次被搬上屏幕，成为美剧历史上的一座里程碑。这年的重制版意义没有达到当年的高度，不过剧集本身引人入胜、感人至深。
The original, 1977 Roots was a TV landmark that presented the horror of slavery in ways Hollywood had never dared before. This year's remake couldn't match its significance, but it equaled its relevance and power. An extraordinary cast led by Malachi Kirby as the proud Kunta Kinte and Regé-Jean Page as the dangerously disillusioned Chicken George formed a complex multigenerational portrait of suffering and survival. Provocatively tailored for these racially fraught times, Roots is an engrossing, moving, necessary reminder of history that deserves constant remembrance and demands redemptive response.
