《美女上错身》“有质有量”换位人生 　　如果说“飞上枝头变凤凰”是让《灰姑娘》经久不衰的美丽戏码,“身份的缺失与重拾”是《王子与贫儿》童话面纱下的深刻内涵,那么2009年推出的美剧《美女上错身》就是一套集童话色彩和现实意义于一身的剧集。哎呀,等等……“身份的缺失与重拾”?Yes! “飞上枝头变凤凰”? No! 应该是“飞落枝头成麻雀”才对――由纤瘦模特摇身成为肥胖律师。 　　换位人生,有着令人着迷的魔力,是失意者抵抗宿命的一种尝试,是得意者满足幻想的一次旅程。但是,“换位”之后呢?那就是新的身份的重新认同,就如重建废墟一般,是一个适应、接受以及前行的过程。就像剧中的女主角那样,接受自己大码的身型并且不再为享受巧克力而感到内疚。 　　无论有没有“换位”,接受自己,爱护自己,此乃人生之乐与幸。 　　――Mac 　　 　　Television has turned its lens on the overweight in recent seasons, mostly with reality shows like 1)The Biggest Loser on NBC.

But Drop Dead Diva explores a different reality. While the slim Deb could comfortably subsist on a diet of 7)grapefruit and 8)celery, Jane’s plus-size body craves chocolate doughnuts. While Deb spent her days 9)working out and obsessing about the size of her knees, Jane discovers that long hours at the office drain her of the desire and energy to exercise. 　　 　　When a friend suggests a strict diet, Deb (now in Jane’s body) makes a 10)valiant effort to return to her model eating habits. But she discovers that Jane’s body craves chocolate and 11)Cheez Whiz. When she is inside Jane’s body, Deb says: “I don’t like celery. I like sandwiches.” 　　 　　The show’s creator, Josh Berman, said he wan
