MONTY PYTHON’S FLYING CIRCUS

　　《飞行马戏团》

　　The Monty Python legacy has been the backbone of British comedy for years. The happy chappies of the Python group are known all over the world for their special brand of absurdist humour, and their television series has been host to rip-roaring legends like the Dead Parrot and Cheese Shop sketch (if you’re unaware, a quick search on the Internet will change your life). Alongside their films, the Flying Circus show cemented the Pythons as the best thing on the BBC in the 1980s. Parodying Britishness has never been so quintessentially British.

　　多年以来，《飞行马戏团》一直都是英国喜剧的擎天柱。《马戏团》以荒诞的幽默风靡世界，此部电视剧还衍生出《死鹦鹉》(Dead Parrot)和《芝士店》(Cheese Shop)这些惊艳的短剧(如果你还没听说过这些短剧，赶紧去度娘谷哥一下，说不定就发现了新大陆)。随着《飞行马戏团》的播出，Python的“喜剧六人组”也在BBC 80年代的历史中留下浓墨重彩的一笔。没有哪部剧能把英伦风展现得如此淋漓尽致。
