根据AMDb, Modern Family的介绍是“Three different, but related families face trials and tribulations in their own uniquely comedic ways.”作为一个和friends和how I met your mother不一样的情景美剧,Modern Family是由二十世纪福克斯电影公司拍摄,美国广播公司购买并在美国播出的电视剧。故事主要围绕三个有关联的美国家庭展开,一个“看不见”的摄像师扛着摄像机记录他们生活中的点点滴滴。这部情景喜剧采用了与“伪记录片”的拍摄形式,大多数镜头都是手持摄像机拍摄的。故事以独特的视角,讲述了极具代表的三个典型的美国家庭复杂而混乱的日常生活和情感世界。这样对于教学来说,是不过的了。因为它讲述的更多的是美国人家庭生活中的正能量,而不是那些年轻男女的男欢女爱。对于英语程度很好的同学,我想,如果我们每次都能把每一集中你不熟悉的,或次见到的单词和短语记录背诵下来,那么,这样的功课只需要做满一部剧,那么你大概能把当今英美人口中的英语掌握了90分。因为毕竟,英美人平常的对话的单词也就在4000左右,Nothing is impossible to a willing heart, isn't it?。
