《辛普森一家》是第一个这么做的:人们认为这部标志性的电视剧预言了葛丽塔·汤伯格

The Simpsons are known as the show that predicts the future. They knew Donald Trump will become president and … Turns out, they also foresaw the rise of Greta Thunberg. 10 years ago. In the seventeenth episode of the twentieth season, “The Good, the Sad and the Drugly,” Lisa was assigned to write a report on what Springfield will look like in the year 2059. When she discovered online reports about soap being used for drinks instead of water, a world war over a tiny drop of oil, a parking lot yet to be filled forever, and the last polar bear committing suicide, she was filled with anxiety and depression and terrified her classmates with her dark visions of the oceans rising from global warming, turning humanity and the lowlands into a desert and darkness falling upon Nineveh. Sounds familiar?

《辛普森一家》是一部预测未来的电视剧。他们知道唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)将成为总统，结果，他们也在10年前预见到了葛丽塔·汤伯格(Greta Thunberg)的崛起。在第二十季的第十七集《好人、坏人和瘾君子》中，丽莎被指派写一篇关于2059年斯普林菲尔德将会是什么样子的报告。当她发现在线报告关于soap用于饮料代替水,世界大战在一个小小的一滴石油,一个停车场永远有待填补,最后北极熊自杀,她充满了焦虑和抑郁,吓坏了她的同学和她的黑暗的海洋从全球变暖,让人类和低地沙漠和黑暗落在尼尼微。听起来熟悉吗?

After Thunberg’s speech at the UN, people started comparing its tone to Lisa’s presentation, and you can’t really blame them for that. Some even took it further, saying that Greta is Lisa’s real-life version. And it’s not that far-fetched, too. Think about it, Lisa is a thoughtful, intelligent, outspoken young girl who doesn’t shy away from important topics no matter how many adults try to silence her. She’s the most prominent activist on the entire show. Kinda the same way that Greta is currently our’s.

在汤伯格在联合国的演讲之后，人们开始把它的语气和Lisa的演讲做比较，你不能因此责怪他们。有些人甚至更进一步，说葛丽塔是丽莎的真实版。这也不是那么牵强附会。想想看，丽莎是一个有思想、聪明、坦率的年轻女孩，不管有多少成年人试图让她闭嘴，她从不回避重要的话题。她是整个节目中最杰出的活动家。有点像现在的葛丽塔。
