《天線寶寶》的這些真相，簡直讓人顛覆世界觀……
這幾天，不少網(wǎng)友為一則消息所震驚：
《太陽報》：《天線寶寶》丁丁扮演者體溫過低凍死街頭；西蒙·謝爾頓·巴恩斯去世，享年52歲，他是三個孩子的父親。當?shù)厝苏f他死于體溫過低。
一方面人們?yōu)槊輪T凍死街頭感到唏噓不已，另一方面也有人驚詫于：《天線寶寶》竟然是人演的？！
報報覺得有必要出手了！下面，一起來看看五個關于天線寶寶的真相吧：
天線寶寶都是哪些人演的
其實寶寶們的扮演者很多元，有著不同的膚色和文化背景，這與寶寶們的角色設定也是相符的。這是迪西（Dipsy）和他的扮演者John Simmit：
Dipsy's face was slightly darker than the faces of the other Teletubbies. When the show was broadcast in the US, the makers told American audiences that Dipsy was intended to be black.
迪西的臉稍微比其他天線寶寶的黑。當節(jié)目在美國播出時，制作人告訴美國觀眾迪西角色設計的本意就是個黑人。
這是拉拉（Laa-Laa）和她的扮演者Nikky Smedley：
While she is mostly known for her portrayal of Laa-Laa, Nikky Smedley is also a choreographer. After the original series ended, she continued to work with Ragdoll Productions.
雖然尼基·斯梅德利更多地以對拉拉的演繹為人們所熟知，但她同時也是一位舞蹈指導。在最初的劇集結束以后，她繼續(xù)為Ragdoll公司工作。
Laa-Laa is known as the best singer of all the Teletubbies, a total girly-girl, "Drama queen", party-girl, and motherly type. She likes playing with her ball and enjoys watching Magical Events.
拉拉在天線寶寶中以唱歌唱得最好著稱。她是一個很女生的女生，“戲精”、交際花，有母性光輝。她喜歡玩自己的球，喜歡看《魔幻事件》。
而小波（Po）則是由華裔Pui Fan Lee扮演的：
Po is red and has a circular antenna. She is played by British-Chinese actress Lee Pui Fan, and can speak Cantonese. "As she scoots around she says 'fi-dit, fi-dit' which means faster, faster".
小波是紅色的，有一根圓形的天線。她由英籍華裔李康敏所扮演，會講粵語?！爱斔奶幈甲邥r，她便會說‘fi-dit, fi-dit’，也就是‘快點，快點’”。
天線寶寶有多高
既然天線寶寶是由成人所扮演的，自然也就不會是小巧玲瓏、可以當寵物般養(yǎng)在家里的了。
可是，他們到底有多高呢？據(jù)Buzzfeed報道：
The awful truth was gathering dust in a Time magazine article from 2001, in which the Teletubbies were listed as varying in height from 6 feet 6 inches to 10 feet.
《時代》雜志2001年的一篇文章揭開了這個可怕的事實，只不過被人忽略：文章列出，天線寶寶的身高從6.6英尺（1米9多）到10英尺（3米多）不等……
最矮的是小波，也就1米9多；而丁丁最高，超過了3米……感受一下↓↓
This makes for a costume that weighs more than 30 lbs. And if the performers, who see and breathe through the mouth holes, keep their heads on too long, there is a danger of carbon-dioxide buildup.
這使得服裝重量超過30磅（13.6公斤）。演員是通過嘴孔看外面和呼吸的，如果穿著服裝太久，有二氧化碳集聚的危險。
于是在演新版時，秘密武器上線了！
The actors eventually had small seats hidden inside their costumes so they could sit down between takes.
演員們最終在他們的服裝里裝了隱蔽的椅子，這樣他們在不同鏡頭間隙可以坐下來。
畫風是醬紫的：
太陽娃娃也是人演的嗎
If you or your kids ever watched Teletubbies, then you'll know that every episode started with a shot of a sunrise - complete with a giggling baby's face.
如果你或者你的孩子曾經(jīng)看過《天線寶寶》，那你就會知道，每一集都是從日出鏡頭開始的，包含一張咯咯笑著的娃娃臉。
話說這個咯咯笑的太陽娃娃是P出來的還是真人演的？
真相是：TA是由Jess Smith演的，那會兒她才9個月大，而今已經(jīng)是二十來歲的少女了：
據(jù)《太陽報》報道：
Speaking on BBC South East, Jess said: "I was being weighed at the hospital. My mum took me and it just happened to be the same time that the producer of the old series had come in and wanted the hospital to get in contact with them if they'd seen any smiley babies.”
杰西對英國廣播公司東南頻道表示：“我正在醫(yī)院里稱重。我媽抱著我，恰巧那會兒老版劇集的制片人進來，想讓醫(yī)院要是看到有笑著的嬰兒，就跟他們聯(lián)系?！?/span>
在醫(yī)院里恰好咯咯笑的Jess于是得到了這個珍貴的機會……
"It was just a case of sitting in front of a mirror and a camera and my dad playing with toys and race cars and that sort of thing to try and get me to laugh at the camera."
“我就只是坐在鏡子和照相機前，爸爸在玩玩具和賽車之類的，試圖讓我對著攝像機笑。”
《天線寶寶》是實景拍攝的嗎
看過《天線寶寶》的朋友都會對這片綠草地和小山丘印象深刻：
The rounded green hills that the Teletubbies called home were actually part of a farm in Wimpstone, Warwickshire. When filming finished in 2001, the owner of the land was so sick of Teletubby fans trespassing on it that she flooded it and turned it into a pond. (The Telegraph)
天線寶寶稱為家的圓形綠色山丘實際上是沃里克郡溫普斯頓的一個農(nóng)場的一部分。2001年拍攝結束以后，主人對《天線寶寶》粉絲頻頻擅自闖入感到厭煩，于是把它淹成了一個池塘↓↓
"People were jumping fences and crossing cattle fields. We’re glad to see the back of it," said Rosemary Harding, who now runs an aquatics center at the site. (The Telegraph)
“人們老是跳過圍欄、越過牛場。我們很開心看到人們對節(jié)目的支持?！绷_斯瑪麗·哈丁說。現(xiàn)今TA在原先的地方經(jīng)營了一個水上運動中心。
讓我們用衛(wèi)星云圖感受一下這種滄海桑田般的變化：
天線寶寶生孩子了？
2015年，《天線寶寶》推出了新版。這些寶寶們換了美瞳，肚子上的電視升級為觸屏，而一群小天線寶寶更是讓觀眾抓狂：什么？天線寶寶生孩子了？?。?/span>
還記得天線寶寶嗎？他們現(xiàn)在有孩子了。覺得自己老了嗎？
這些小寶寶們叫Tiddlytubbies。我好慌……
他們生的？我以為他們?nèi)悄械哪?？啥時候啊？我有很多要問。
When asked about the relation between the Teletubbies and the Tiddlytubbies, a spokesperson for the Teletubbies told BuzzFeed News that the Tiddlytubbies are "adorable, smaller versions of the Teletubbies," introduced to "bring a younger perspective to the show and reinforce the sense of nurture and caring."
當被問到天線寶寶和小天線寶寶之間的關系時，《天線寶寶》的一位發(fā)言人告訴BuzzFeed新聞說，小天線寶寶是“萌版的、小版的天線寶寶”，其引入是為節(jié)目“帶來更年輕的視角，強化養(yǎng)育和關懷的意識”。
They added that the Teletubbies play "an elder sibling role to the Tiddlytubbies and help look after them under the guidance of the Voice Trumpets." (BuzzFeed)
他們補充說，天線寶寶扮演的是“小天線寶寶的兄弟姐妹的角色，并在喇叭的指導下幫助照顧他們”。
有網(wǎng)友調(diào)侃說，《天線寶寶》的基本情節(jié)就是：太陽出來了，好開心！跑一跑，好開心！這是啥？沒見過！好開心！不管發(fā)生什么事，最后一定要很開心！太陽下山了，揮手說再見，好開心！
報報也衷心地希望你看完這篇推送以后可以→→很！開！心！
這五個關于天線寶寶的真相你是第一次聽說嗎？是的話還不快來點個贊，也要記得分享給還不知道這幾個秘密的小伙伴們喲~
