Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale walked away from Sunday night's awards with both the top drama nod and a relative sweep in other key categories — including writing, directing, supporting actress and a best lead actress trophy.
在上周日第69届艾美奖颁奖典礼上，Hulu（一家流媒体供应商）借着《使女的故事》横扫最重要的剧情类剧集奖项，囊括最佳剧集、最佳女主角、最佳女配角、最佳导演和最佳编剧等奖项。
The Handmaid's Tale is a 1985 dystopian novel by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. Set in a near-future New England, in a totalitarian, Christian theonomy that has overthrown the United States government.
《使女的故事》是加拿大女作家玛格丽特·阿特伍德1985年出版的反乌托邦小说，小说设定在不久的将来，新英格兰地区，一个极权主义，信奉基督教的神权政府颠覆了美国政府。
In the late years of the twentieth century, Protestant Fundamentalists, with the tacit approval of the military, have assassinated the president and the Congress, suspended the Constitution, and established the Republic of Gilead. Under the new regime, women have no rights: They cannot hold jobs, they are not permitted to have money or property, and they have no public role. Since the birthrate has fallen, men in high positions, if their own wives are barren or are past childbearing, are assigned “Handmaids” from a pool of trained women who have already borne children. The only function of a Handmaid is to conceive and bear her master’s child. Fertile women who refuse to become Handmaids are killed, sent to illegal but officially tolerated brothels, or sent to the “Colonies,” to work on toxic-waste disposal. Handmaids are deprived of their names and are known only “of” their masters’ names.
在二十一世纪末，清教原教旨主义者取得了军队的背后支持，他们暗杀了总统，控制了国会，暂停实行宪法，成立了吉利厄德共和国。在新的政权统治下，女性被剥夺了一切权利。她们不能就职，没有财产，没有公民资格。由于人口出生率下降，高层官员在妻子无法生育或超过了育龄的情况下，就可以拥有“使女”。她们是一群受过培训的，已经生育过孩子的女性。使女唯一的职责就是怀孕并生下主人的孩子。拒绝成为使女的健康女性会被处死，送入非法但被政府默许的妓院，或者送到“殖民地”进行有毒废物处理的强制劳动。使女被剥夺了名字，被称为某某主人的某某人。
“The Handmaid’s Tale” is the first streaming show to win the drama series award — a feat that neither Netflix nor Amazon could accomplish — and signals Hulu’s ascent to the top ranks of TV. ”
《使女的故事》是第一部获得剧情类剧集奖项的流媒体电视剧，这一成就Netflix和Amazon都望尘莫及，标志了Hulu坐上了电视媒体的第一把交椅。
