The stock surge of recent months, ignited by policy prospects, is now driven by strong earnings and other factors that seem impervious to politics.

肥皂劇(英語:soap opera)是從英文傳至中文的外來辭彙,通常指一齣連續很長時間的、虛構的電視劇節目,每周安排為多集連續播出,因此又稱系列電視連續劇(但「連續劇」一詞可以泛指一切劇情連續的電視節目)。

肥皂劇於1920年代在美國的收音機廣播節目中興起,1940年代移師電視螢幕。大多數肥皂劇都是白天播岀。

soap opera or soap, is a serial drama on television or radio that examines the lives of many characters, usually focusing on emotional relationships to the point of melodrama.[1] The term soap opera originated from such dramas in the past being typically sponsored by soap manufacturers.[2]

Origin of the genre[edit]

The first serial considered to be a "soap opera" was Painted Dreams, which debuted on October 20, 1930 on Chicago radio station WGN.[3] Early radio series such as Painted Dreams were broadcast in weekday daytime slots, usually five days a week, when most of the listeners would be housewives; thus, the shows were aimed at and consumed by a predominantly female audience.[2]
