韓國神曲《江南style》好評次數破世界紀錄

If you have gotten over Kolaveri Di, here's some more craziness that's driving the Internet. It's South Korean star PSY's 'Gangnam style' video. The video has beaten Justin Bieber and has become the most liked video on YouTube.

如果你能適應印度神曲《Kolaveri Di》，那就來看看互聯網上現今更狂熱的神曲《江南style》吧。這首神曲是由韓國歌星PSY（注：樸載相，又稱“鳥叔”）打造的。這首歌曲MV已經擊敗賈斯汀-比伯的成績，登頂Youtube視頻網站最受歡迎視頻。

In fact, breaking records, the video has set the Guinness World Record for the most 'liked' video in YouTube history. Gangnam Style, that was available for viewing on July 15, has more than 2,479,030 likes on YouTube.

事實上，這首歌曲的MV還打破了吉尼斯世界紀錄，成爲YouTube網站歷史上最受喜愛的視頻。《江南style》的歌曲MV於7月15日上傳至該視頻網站後，獲得網民點擊喜愛的次數已超過247萬。

What's catching the eyes in Gangnam style is PSY's unique dance moves, funny horse riding scenes and dancing in a towel. Even as many may not understand the language, the video has become the talk of the Internet.

歌曲MV中最吸引人眼球的是PSY獨特的舞步，他在視頻中大秀搞笑的騎馬舞步，還拿毛巾當道具。儘管很多人可能不懂韓語，但這首MV已經紅遍互聯網。

The video also has many different versions and parodies on the Internet now. The song has topped the iTunes charts in 31 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.

網上已經出現了這首MV的多個模仿版本。這首歌在31個國家的iTunes排行榜上居首，包括美國、英國和加拿大。

"The YouTube video never targeted foreign countries. It was for local fans," Psy told the reporters on the sidelines of a concert. "My goal in this music video was to look uncool until the end. I achieved it."

歌手PSY在演唱會場外告訴記者：“這首MV並不是拍給外國人看的，是拍給韓國本土的粉絲們看的。我拍攝MV時就想讓它看起來一直土裏土氣的，我的目標達到了。”

Even a few of South Korea's normally staid presidential candidates are imitating Psy's moves in an appeal to voters.

甚至有幾位慣常保守的韓國總統候選人也在模仿PSY的舞步，以吸引選民。

The song, released in mid-July, was meant as a commentary on the rampant materialism and emphasis on appearance of today's South Korea - particularly in relation to Gangnam, which Psy terms Seoul's Beverly Hills.

這首單曲在7月中旬發佈，反映出當今韓國氾濫的物質主義和對外貌的看重，特別是在富人聚集的江南區，PSY將這裏比作首爾的比弗力山莊。

His stage name is derived from "psycho", and he writes and produces his own music. 'Gangnam Style' is about the lavish and luxurious lifestyle connected to the trendy Gangnam district, located in Seoul. PSY even choreographed the routines in the clip.

他的藝名取自英文“精神病患者”一詞，自己寫歌自己製作。《江南style》展現了時尚的首爾江南區奢靡放縱的生活方式。PSY在MV中精心設計了一套舞步。

Of millions watching the viral video, there are a growing number of celebrities expressing their love for the song, including Katy Perry, T-Pain, Robbie Williams, Josh Groban, and Nelly Furtado, who performed some of the song at a recent concert.

在這段大熱視頻數百萬的觀衆當中，越來越多的明星表達了自己對這個視頻的喜愛之情，比如凱蒂-佩裏、羅比-威廉姆斯、喬詩-葛洛班。妮莉-費塔朵還在最近的演唱會上現場模仿了《江南style》。
