By Amanda Holpuch
Britain's Friendliest Bear to Hit the Stage in 'Paddington: The Musical'
英國最友好的熊將登上音樂劇舞臺：《帕丁頓熊》
Paddington, the well-traveled bear known for his floppy red hat and love for orange marmalade sandwiches, is taking on yet another venture in 2025: the theater.
帕丁頓（Paddington）喜歡戴著軟質大檐的紅帽子，最愛吃柑橘醬三明治。這只游歷四方的小熊，將在2025年開始另一場冒險，在劇院。
A stage musical about the friendly bear is in development and is set to open in Britain in 2025. It will be adapted from the book series that made him famous, as well as the two live-action films, "Paddington" and "Paddington 2."
關于這只友愛小熊的一部舞臺音樂劇正在制作中，將于2025年在英國公演。該音樂劇改編自讓帕丁頓一舉成名的系列小說，以及兩部真人電影《帕丁頓熊》和《帕丁頓熊2》。
Paddington was first introduced in a book series by Michael Bond that follows the good-natured bear who emigrates from Peru to England and is taken in by the Brown family. Paddington is sweet, curious and prone to mishaps.
帕丁頓最早出現在邁克爾·邦德（Michael Bond）創作的系列叢書中，講述了這只善良的小熊從秘魯移居到英國，并被布朗一家收留的故事。帕丁頓乖巧可愛、好奇心強，但也很容易惹上麻煩。
The first book in the series, "A Bear Called Paddington," was published in October 1958. More than 35 million copies of Paddington books have been sold worldwide. The live-action feature films premiered in Britain in 2014 and 2017. A third film, "Paddington in Peru," is set to be released in Britain in 2024.
該系列的第一本書《帕丁頓熊》出版于1958年10月?！杜炼☆D熊》叢書在全球的銷量已超過3500萬冊。其兩部真人電影分別于2014年和2017年在英國首映。第三部電影《帕丁頓熊在秘魯》將于2024年在英國上映。
The musical is being produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Studiocanal and Eliza Lumley Productions on behalf of Universal Music UK. "The magic of Paddington is that, through his wide-eyed innocence, he sees the very best in humanity," Ms. Friedman and Ms. Lumley said in a joint statement, "reminding us that love and kindness can triumph if we open our hearts and minds to one another."
這部音樂劇由索尼婭·弗里德曼制作公司（Sonia Friedman Productions）、映歐嘉納（Studiocanal）和伊莉莎·盧姆利制作公司（Eliza Lumley Productions）共同合作，代表環球音樂英國公司來完成制作。弗里德曼和盧姆利在一份聯合聲明中表示，“帕丁頓的神奇之處在于通過圓睜的眼睛，看到了人性中最美好的一面，并提醒我們，如果我們敞開心扉，相互理解，愛和善良就會無往而不利?！?br>
【內容拓展】
帕丁頓的靈感來源：1956年圣誕節前夕，在倫敦帕丁頓車站附近的一家商店，正在避雨的攝影師邁克爾·邦德（Michael Bond）忽然看到貨架上一只僅剩的玩具熊，看起來孤零零的令人心疼。于是，他把那只熊買了下來作為禮物送給妻子，也由此萌發了創作帕丁頓熊故事的靈感。第二次世界大戰期間，為了躲避轟炸，英國有大批住在城市的兒童被疏散到鄉村。他們有個共同的特點：拿著行李箱，身上掛著一個標簽（上面寫著要寄宿的新家庭的電話和地址）。邦德基于此創作出“小熊帕丁頓系列”的第一本書《請照顧好這只熊》。小熊帕丁頓剛來倫敦時，只戴了一頂帽子，身上掛著一個標簽，上面寫著：“請照顧好這只小熊。謝謝?！?br>
