最适合学外语的7部动画片，你看过几个？-新东方前途出国

Kids’ cartoons—even the silliest or action-oriented ones—are meant to be educational to some degree. Because they’re aimed at children, they introduce and reinforce important cultural aspects that adult dramas take for granted. 

儿童卡通片，哪怕是有很多动作场面的蠢蠢的那种，也是有着教育意义的。正因为卡通片瞄准的受众是儿童，动画片会介绍和强调重要的文化背景，这类知识在成人电视剧里通常是一带而过。

The basic plot lines of kid’s cartoons are fairly simple and take place in familiar, everyday settings, such as schools and homes. That means you’ll become familiar with all the everyday phrases. The characters speak more slowly, and the dialogue is typically standard, casual language, without the idiomatic phrases or regional dialects that can make it hard to understand.

儿童卡通的剧情线一般都很简单，故事场景也都是熟悉的日常生活场景，比方说学校和家里。也就是说你可以通过看动画片来熟悉日常短语的表达。动画角色的语速比较慢，对话也都是典型的标准非正式语言，不会牵涉到艰涩的习语和方言。

Think Peppa Pig, the pink piggy who has gained worldwide popularity. There are even videos showing an American child speaking in a British accent to her mom after binge-watching the popular cartoon.

想想《小猪佩奇》，作为儿童卡通居然火遍全球。网上甚至还有视频显示一个美国小孩儿跟她妈妈说话带着英国口音，就是因为看多了这部动画。

The Simpsons in the '90s was smart, culturally savvy, and unbelievably entertaining TV about an average American family. At its height, no show — animated or otherwise — could reach The Simpsons' greatness. From the cleverness of "Marge vs. the Monorail" to everything Lisa Simpson ever said, '90s era The Simpsons was fearless and game-changing television.

《辛普森一家》是上世纪90年代一部很优秀且文化含义丰富的娱乐性电视卡通。它讲述的是一个普通美国家庭的故事。在该动画的鼎盛时期，没有哪一部动画片能企及《辛普森一家》的伟大成就。从《玛姬与单轨火车》的巧妙设计，到卡通角色丽萨·辛普森所说的所有台词，90年代的《辛普森一家》所向披靡，改变了电视行业的面貌。

King of the Hill

《乡巴佬希尔一家的幸福生活》

King of the Hill depicts an average middle-class family and their lives in a typical American town. It documents the Hills' day-to-day-lives in the small Texas town of Arlen, exploring modern themes such as parent-child relationships, friendship, loyalty, and justice. As an animated sitcom, however, King of the Hill's scope is generally larger than that of a regular sitcom.

《乡巴佬希尔一家的幸福生活》描绘了一个普通的中产阶级家庭和他们在一个典型的美国小镇上的生活。它记录了希尔在德克萨斯小镇阿伦的日常生活，探讨了诸多现代主题，如亲子关系、友谊、忠诚和正义。然而，作为一部动画情景喜剧，《乡巴佬希尔一家的幸福生活》的视野比普通情景喜剧要更大。

You most likely had to have parental supervision to watch King of the Hill, but the show's depiction of small town life was so accurate and warm, it was worth sitting through the "adult" moments with mom and dad in the room.

你最好是在父母的陪同之下观看《乡巴佬希尔一家的幸福生活》。这部动画对于小镇生活的刻画十分准确，又温暖人心。哪怕是里面有一些所谓“少儿不宜”的内容，它也值得你和父母坐在家里一起看完。
