B站跨年晚会，你补课了吗？
2020元旦已经过去好几天了，朋友圈还是时不时有刚“补完课”的朋友吹爆「B站跨年晚会」。这场号称最懂年轻人的「跨年晚会」你看了吗？你觉得怎么样？
准备补课的我，看了开场《魔兽世界》舞蹈秀，不打游戏的我，完全不懂他们在cosplay什么，默默关上显示器发了朋友圈吐槽。结果底下一堆朋友回复，直接看「第三篇章」！于是，又打开电脑的我，...，真香！
What does a New Year's Eve special tailored for Chinese millennials and Gen Z look like? League of Legends, anime songs and plenty of meme references -- according to Bilibili.
Gen Z
Generation Z (or Gen Z) is the demographic cohort after the Millennials. Demographers and researchers typically use the mid-1990s to early-2000s as starting birth years. There is little consensus regarding ending birth years. Most of Generation Z have used the Internet since a young age and are comfortable with technology and social media.
Z世代（Generation Z），美国及欧洲的流行用语，意指在1990年代中叶至2000年后出生的人。一般来说，他们主要是X世代的小孩，但也有较年轻的婴儿潮世代或是较年长的Y世代的小孩。他们又被称为M世代（多工世代，multitasking）、C世代（连结世代，Connected Generation）、网络世代（Net Generation），或是互联网世代（the Internet Generation）。（Wikipedia）
The Twitch-like streaming platform's countdown gala, which aired online starting at 8pm Tuesday, was the only one among eight New Year's shows in China that wasn't broadcast on TV.
gala
gala表示“节日盛会；演出”，英文解释为“A gala is a special public celebration, entertainment, performance, or festival.”如：a gala evening at the Metropolitan Opera House 大都会歌剧院的庆祝晚会，Spring Festival Gala即“春节联欢晚会”。
air / broadcast
air表示“播放”，英文解释为“If a broadcasting company airs a television or radio programme, they show it on television or broadcast it on the radio.”举个🌰：
Tonight CGTN will air a documentary called "LearnAndRecord".
今晚CGTN将播放一部名为《LearnAndRecord》的纪录片。
broadcast表示“播送（电视或无线电节目）；广播”，英文解释为“to send out a programme on television or radio”，举个🌰：
The tennis championship is broadcast live to several different countries.

Founded in 2010, Bilibili began as an interactive animation-oriented video sharing platform featuring its bullet chat function, in which real-time comments scroll across the screen as a video plays. Having accumulated a wealth of original content creators in various fields, Bilibili was considered a paradise for countless Internet minorities and subcultures.
弹幕
在上月初，AWSL！！！一文中就提到B站中「弹幕」的相关表达，在这里再回顾一下：
B站的一大特色就是「弹幕」。先看官方介绍，Our pioneered community feature - bullet chatting - transforms viewing experience by allowing audience to share thoughts and feelings real-time with others viewing the same video.
Bullet chatting，或者说是，Bullet Chat. 弹幕，弹幕，到底是dàn，还是tán呢？看英文译文，Bullet chatting“子弹式聊天”，那就是dàn了，不要搞错了哦。（百度百科介绍提到“弹幕，...，指的是在网络上观看视频时弹出的评论性字幕。”）那么，读作tán幕似乎也没毛病。
另外，还有bullet comment和bullet screen的说法，都离不开bullet一词。什么是弹幕？Bullet comments are viewer–generated texts superimposed onto online videos. “被叠加”在视频上的用户评论。
