It sounds funny, doesn't it? Well, it is nothing but an American name for either radio serial or TV serial. It is so named because there used to be lots of soap advertisements inserted in it. 我们每天都用肥皂，我们用香皂、沐浴皂和洗衣皂。许多人都喜欢多泡沫的肥皂。 小孩子喜欢用肥皂水来吹泡泡，肥皂泡是色彩缤纷的，但易于破碎。它们很容易给戳破。因此如果某种东西看样子挺好，但毫无实际价值，人们就称它为肥皂泡。 许多电视观众喜爱“肥皂剧”，这听起来蛮有趣的，可不是？哦，那不是别的什么，而是广播连续剧或电视连续剧的美国称谓。之所以这样称呼，是因为以往剧集中插有大量的肥皂广告。
