4Real 真英雄真故事
| The National Geographic Channel will air a brand new series this month. It is called 4Real, and it is hosted by the world-famous music producer Sol Guy. Sol travels with different superstars to raise awareness about some of the important issues1 of our time. In each community2 of each country, the stars see the difficulties that its people must face every day. Sometimes it is drug addiction3, while other times it is lack of medicine. Watch as these stars travel through wild jungles4, dangerous neighborhoods5, and unexpected places.
On the trips, Sol introduces the superstars to some very special people. They are local people who have not given up on their homes. These heroes are working hard to bring happiness into some of the most infamous places in the world. As they all find out, not everything is dark and sad in these neighborhoods. The spirits of the people are still filled with hope.
In 4Real, you'll see how awful slums6 are. But you'll also meet some inspiring people who live in them. Tune in to learn how a little bit of love can make a big difference.
本月份，國家地理頻道將播出全新系列節目。這個節目叫做《真英雄真故事》，是由世界知名的音樂製作人索爾•蓋所主持。索爾和不同的巨星一同旅行，以喚起人們對當代一些重要議題的關注。在不同國家的各個社群裡，這些明星目睹當地居民每天必須面對的困境。有時是毒癮，有時卻又是藥品的匱乏。且看這些巨星穿越野生叢林、深入危機四伏的社區，以及踏足令人意想不到的地方。
在旅程中，索爾將這些巨星引見給一些非常特別的人認識。他們是仍對家園抱持希望的當地人。這些英雄正努力將幸福注入某些世上最惡名昭彰的地方。正如同他們所有人都發現到的，這些地區不全然充斥著黑暗和悲傷。這些人的心裡仍滿懷著希望。
在《真英雄真故事》節目中，您會看見貧民窟是多麼的駭人。然而您也會遇見一些能夠激勵人心的當地居民。請鎖定本節目，瞭解一點點的愛心如何造就諾大的改變。 |  |
