A few years ago, I had the honor of traveling through Accra, Ghana. As I rode down a main avenue, images grabbed my attention. On one side of the street, African children wearing rags played in an open sewer. On the other side of the street, there was a towering billboard advertisement featuring palm trees, a beach, and a Caucasian man lowering sunglasses from his eyes. The ad was for actor David Caruso, starring in the television series CSI: Miami. 几年前，我有幸到加纳阿克拉旅行。我走在一条主路上，一个场景吸引了我的注意。在街道一侧，衣衫褴褛的非洲孩子们在一个开放的下水道里玩。在街道另一侧，高高的广告牌上有棕榈树、海滩，还有一个白人摘下戴着的太阳镜。这则广告上是演员大卫·卡鲁索，他主演了电视剧《犯罪现场调查：迈阿密》。 The dichotomy of images was a reminder not only of the international reach of American pop culture, but of the specific influence of TV police procedurals. 这种违和的场景体现了美国流行文化的国际影响力，以及电视警匪片的独特影响。 |
