摘要
中国情景喜剧作为90年代从美国引进的艺术形式,近年来发展迅速。从1993年轰动一时成为经典的《我爱我家》到2017年红遍大江南北的《武林外传》,中国情景喜剧再次被各方关注。但是与繁荣的美国情景喜剧相比,中国情景喜剧依然有很长的一段路要走。本文从叙事、幽默、人物刻画这三个情景喜剧的核心要素出发,对中美情景喜剧进行一个比较。通过比较,我们可以发现中美情景喜剧各自的一些特点与他们的文化背景紧密关系。因为毕竟艺术形式是根植于文化的。所以接下来,本文从文化角度对这些异同性进行探源。而产生这些异同的文化原因将使中美两国情景喜剧的差距具有合理性。事实上,因为我们各自的文化接受面和接受程度不同,中国情景喜剧不能对美国情景喜剧中的亮点进行一味效仿。但是总的来说,中国情景喜剧可以改进的地方比需要坚持的地方更多。

ABSTRACT
Chinese sitcoms as an exotic television genre from America in 1990s, have developed quickly in recent years. From I Love My Family in 1993 to My Own Swordsman in 2017,英语论文网站,sitcoms get the attention again. However, the Chinese sitcom still has a long way to go, compared to the flourish of the American sitcom. This paper gives the difference between them from the perspective of narrative, humor and characterization, and these three respects are the core elements in the sitcom. Through the comparison, we may notice that some features of American and Chinese sitcoms relate to their own culture. Art forms root in culture, after all. Therefore, in the follow part, this paper gives a cultural analysis of these differences, and these cultural factors make the gap of American and Chinese sitcoms reasonable. In fact, the result shows that the Chinese sitcom can’t copy all the glitters in the American sitcom on account of the limitation of our own cultural acceptance. But fortunately, overall, there is more room for improvement than adherence.

1 Introduction
The American sitcom has been popular for decades. Now it has a huge mass base and became the most important television genre in American. As Taflinger (1996) once said in “Sitcom: What it is, How it works”: “The sitcom is the most numerous form of program on television. A conservative estimate of the number of scripts written and produced for this form in the last fifty years is 27,000.”
As an exotic art form from American, the Chinese sitcom started from scratch and Chinese audience also experienced the complicated affections on sitcom. Since the first Chinese sitcom I Love My Family impressed most Chinese people, there was a long period of exploration for the Chinese sitcom. In recent years, a few nice works came out, the Chinese sitcom regained its confidence, and so did Chinese audience.
