For decades, comic books have been in color, but now they truly reflect all the hues of American society. 几十年来，漫画书一直都是彩色印刷，但直到今天，他们才真正反映了美国社会的多元色彩。 The new Captain America is black. A Superman who is suspiciously similar to President Barack Obama recently headlined a comic book. Thor is a woman, Spider-Man is part-Puerto Rican and Ms. Marvel is Muslim. 最近新问世的“美国队长”（Captain America ）是黑人。超人最近登上了漫画书的头条，他看起来很像奥巴马总统。雷神托尔（Thor）变成了一位女士，蜘蛛侠则有波多黎各血统，而惊奇女士（Ms. Marvel）是个穆斯林。 Mainstream comic book superheroes — America's modern mythology — have been redrawn from the stereotypical brown-haired, blue-eyed white male into a world of multicolored, multireligious and multigendered crusaders to reflect a greater diversity in their audience. 漫画书中那些主流的超级英雄享有“美国现代神话”的美称。他们已经摆脱了老一套的棕发蓝眼的白人男性的固有形象，转而变成来自多种民族和有着多种宗教信仰的斗士，且男女皆有。这反映了漫画书日趋多元化的读者群体。 Society has changed, so superheroes have to as well, said Axel Alonso, editor in chief at Marvel Comics, who in November debuted Captain America No. 1 with Samuel Wilson, the first African American superhero taking over CaptainAmerica's red, white and blue uniform and shield. |
