如果你喜欢看电影，那一定经常看好莱坞电影吧，但是你听说过宝莱坞电影吗？印度人将“好莱坞”Hollywood中的字母“H”换成了印度城市孟买Bombay中的字母“B”，所以把“Hollywood”变成了“Bollywood”。宝莱坞是世界上最大的电影生产基地之一，拥有超过十亿的观众，我们一起来了解下吧！

If you are a movie fan, you must often see the Hollywood movies. But, have you ever heard about Bollywood movies? After replacing ‘H’ in ‘Hollywood’ with ‘B’ in ‘Bombay’, the name of a city in India, the Indians have turned ‘Hollywood’ into ‘Bollywood’. As one of the largest movie production bases, Bollywood boasts 1 billion audiences globally. Now, let’s go through some knowledge about it.

宝莱坞电影最主要的特色就是歌舞表演,歌舞是印度人生活的一部分，也是印度的文化传统。在以前，看电影对于印度人来说是一种奢侈，于是花了钱去影院看电影，都希望电影的时间能长点。所以，很多的印度电影把歌舞和故事融合在一起,电影时长都在3个小时左右。

Bollywood movies are strikingly characterized by their singing and dancing scenes. Singing and dancing is a part of Indians’ life as well as a cultural tradition of India. In the past, it was a kind of luxury for Indians to see a movie, so they hoped the movie could last longer since they had bough the tickets. In view of this, songs and dances have been integrated in many Indian movies to make them last as long as 3 hours or so.

印度的传统服装也是宝莱坞电影的特色之一。在宝莱坞电影中，你可以看到印度独特的服装，充满印度的风情，美不胜收！一定能给你留下深刻的印象。

The Indian traditional costumes are also one of the characteristics of Bollywood movies. In a Bollywood movie, you are expected to see the unique Indian costumes, completely Indian-styled and really a feast for the eyes. You would surely be impressed deeply.

宝莱坞电影还有一个特色，就是跌宕起伏的剧情。在一部宝莱坞电影中，通常都有这样的内容出现，比如不能在一起的情侣，被命运分开的兄弟姐妹，失散已久的亲人，不讲道理的父母，凶狠的坏人。很多观众都很喜欢看这样的内容！

In addition, Bollywood movies are provided with another characteristic- the twisting story. In a Hollywood movie, one would always see such a story about a couple or siblings being separated by destiny, family members being long separated, unreasonable parents, or malicious bad persons. Many audiences are fond of such content.
