《欢迎来到瑞典》(Welcome to Sweden)S01E01《Pilot – Day One / Valkommen》

喜剧女王Amy Poehler把她和兄弟Greg Poehler为瑞典开发的喜剧《欢迎来到瑞典》卖给了NBC。剧情根据Greg Poehler的真实生活经历改编,故事描述纽约会计师Bruce(Greg Poehler)爱上了瑞典姑娘Emma Wiik(Josephine Bornebusch),他们一直是一对完美情侣。两人相处一年后,Emma突然宣布自己要返回瑞典首都斯德哥尔摩接受一份颇有前途的银行工作,Bruce决定跟随她一同前往。Bruce的这个决定的确有些草率:他跟随一个自己其实并不十分了解的女人跨越半个地球来到一个陌生的地方,他没有工作,没有朋友,也丝毫不知道等待自己的是怎样的命运。他将面临独特的挑战和许多的文化冲突。对他来说尤其困难的是……如何赢得Emma的家人的信任?Bruce发现,这是一个很奇怪,很「瑞典化」的传统家庭……

Lena Olin扮演Emma的母亲Viveka,Illeana Douglas和Patrick Duffy扮演Bruce的父母。Amy Poehler、Will Ferrell、Aubrey Plaza、Gene Simmons等明星在剧中客串。

我(第一次)没有兴趣翻译详细的新闻稿,下面这些文字留给感兴趣的朋友去翻译吧。

Bruce Evans (Greg Poehler) and Emma Wiik (Josephine Bornebusch, Swedish hit drama “Solsidan”) seem to be the perfect couple. He is a successful money manager to the stars, living his life in New York with Emma, the sweet woman from Sweden whom he loves and adores. A rare combination of intelligent, funny, kind and beautiful, Emma believes she has finally found her true soul mate. So when she makes the life-changing decision to move back to her native Stockholm to accept a prestigious banking job after being with Bruce for a year, she is surprised and thrilled that he agrees to move with her to begin a new life together.

Moving halfway around the world with a new love is a huge step. With no job, friends or real clue about what he is getting himself into, Bruce is quick to face the many unique challenges and culture clashes that living in a foreign land presents. The most notable one is how to win over Emma’s strange and very Swedish family, starting with her parents, Viveka (Lena Olin, “Chocolat”) and Birger (Claes Mansson), whom they move in with. Viveka, who is a therapist, dearly loves her family but has difficulty showing it, especially to Emma, and much to Bruce’s dismay, she harbors a dislike for him from day one. Birger, a retired sea captain, is a typical Swede – tall, kind and silent. Since his spoken English isn’t very sharp, it only adds to the communication barriers.

Emma’s younger brother, Gustav (Christopher Wagelin), is a 28-year old mega-slacker who, for some reason, can do no wrong in his mother’s eyes. Bengt (Per Svensson), Birger’s younger brother, is an American-adoring rockabilly type who seems to live his life through Hollywood movies.

As for Bruce’s family, his dad, Wayne (Patrick Duffy, “Dallas”), is conservative by nature and resides in a small Midwestern town. Like Wayne, Bruce’s adoring mother, Nancy (Illeana Douglas, “Grace of My Heart”), wants nothing but the best for her son, but has no understanding whatsoever of his decision to leave his happy life in New York.

Amy Poehler, Aubrey Plaza, Will Ferrell and Gene Simmons make guest appearances as themselves in this offbeat single-camera comedy predominately shot on location in Stockholm.

In “Day One / Valkommen”, Bruce (Greg Poehler) and Emma (Josephine Bornebusch) are the perfect couple and when Emma decides to move back to her native Sweden to accept a prestigious job, Bruce gives up his job as a celebrity accountant to join her and begin a new life together. But with no job, friends or real clue as to what he is getting himself into, Bruce must deal with the many unique challenges and culture clashes that living in a foreign land presents. Most notably, how to win over Emma’s strange and very Swedish family, which includes her parents, Viveka (Lena Olin) and Birger (Claes Mansson).
