Did you ever wonder why Rick Grimes didn't look at the bunny slippers girl in the first episode of "The Walking Dead" and say, "Oh weird, looks like a zombie apocalypse happened"? Or why the survivors on the show call the creatures "walkers" instead of "zombies" in the first place?
你还记得在《行尸走肉》第一集，Rick Grimes看到那个抱着兔子的行尸小女孩居然没有说：“这个妹子看着怎么像是丧尸爆发了”？还有剧里的小伙伴们怎么没叫那些小伙伴们丧尸，而叫行尸？
At a Television Academy event for Season 5, comic book creator Robert Kirkman finally set the record straight.
在美国国家电视奖上，漫画书作者终于跟大家坦白原因了。
"We decided very early on that there's a lot zombie fiction out there, there's a lot of zombie movies, and that leads to a lot of questions," he says. "Why are these characters never going 'Oh yeah, you gotta shoot them in the head, because I saw that on "Night of the Living Dead"'?"
“我们很早就决定了，我们不走普通的科幻丧尸剧路线，因为在此之前已经有很多丧尸电影了，这也留下了很多问题，”他说。“剧里的角色们绝对不会说：‘哎呀，我要爆他的头，因为我看过《Night of the Living Dead》’？”
