China shows off kung fu robots in new year celebrations
From: The Times
Last year the break-out hit from Chinese television's New Year's Eve gala was a troupe of dancing robots.
The country's modern success has been built on the advantages of scale, so it was hardly surprising that this year robots were not an incidental feature but took over the whole show.
They danced, they did a comedy sketch about grandmother-like behaviour, they did kung fu, and they did the thing most human artistes fear most — performed with children.
Nor was their appearance just for fun. The importance of the gala, annually the most-watched show in the world, is such that the companies behind the robots paid tens of millions of yuan for the chance to show off their wares.
“Chunwan”, as the China Media Group Spring Festival Gala is informally known, was an invention of state television only as far back as 1983. Since then, it has gone from being a cheesy light entertainment show to being a major showcase for the culture of the People's Republic.
Approved foreign performers are now also invited: Monday night's show featured John Legend, Westlife and Lionel Richie.
However, it was well advertised in advance that after the success of last year's troupe of robots, who performed a traditional dance with live humans, this year's would be robot-focused.
Unitree, the company that produced 2025's dancers, received worldwide publicity. This year, Unitree was joined by three other firms — MagicLab, Galbot and Noetix, who each paid an estimated £6 million for a slot.
However, it was still Unitree that provided the stand-out performance, a complex martial arts routine in which the robots performance was cheered on by yellow-clad “kung fu kids” who then joined in. The robots were clearly far more confident than 2025's rather wooden stars — they span, high-kicked, twirled nunchuks and even back-flipped.
Official figures showed that the show was watched live by 677 million people, with more than 13 billion individual hits on social media. The shopping website JD.com reported that searches for robots online surged by 300 per cent in the two hours after the show.

China shows off kung fu robots in new year celebrations
From: The Times
Last year the break-out hit from Chinese television's New Year's Eve gala was a troupe of dancing robots.
去年中国春晚，最为出圈的节目是一支机器人舞团。
gala
gala /ˈɡɑː.lə/ 表示“节日盛会；演出”，英文解释为“A gala is a special public celebration, entertainment, performance, or festival.”如：a gala evening at the Metropolitan Opera House 大都会歌剧院的庆祝晚会，Spring Festival Gala即“春节联欢晚会”。
troupe
troupe /truːp/ 表示“（演员、歌手等的）班子，表演团，剧团”，英文解释为“a group of actors, singers, etc. who work together”举个🌰：She joined a dance troupe and travelled all over the world. 她参加了一个巡回舞蹈团，足迹遍布世界。
The country's modern success has been built on the advantages of scale, so it was hardly surprising that this year robots were not an incidental feature but took over the whole show.
中国的现代化成就本就建立在规模优势之上，因此今年机器人不再只是点缀，而是几乎占据整场舞台，也就不足为奇。
scale
scale /skeɪl/ 1）表示“标度，刻度；等级”，英文解释为“a set of numbers, amounts, etc., used to measure or compare the level of something”如：the Centigrade/Fahrenheit scale 摄氏/华氏温标。
2）表示“比例；比例尺”，英文解释为“the relation between the real size of something and its size on a map, model, or diagram”如：a scale of 1:10,000 比例尺为1:10000。
3）表示“大小；规模；范围”，英文解释为“the size or level of something, especially when this is large”举个🌰：We don't yet know the scale of the problem. 我们还不知道问题有多严重。
作动词，scale /skeɪl/ 表示“爬越；攀登”，英文解释为“to climb up a steep surface, such as a wall or the side of a mountain, often using special equipment”举个🌰：The prisoner scaled the high prison wall and ran off. 囚犯攀越监狱的高墙逃跑了。
也可以表示“扩大规模”或“拓展”。常见于商业语境中，指的是企业将某项业务从小规模扩展到大规模运作。
scale sth up表示“增加，增大”，英文解释为“to increase the size, amount, or importance of something, usually an organization or process”举个🌰：My company is scaling up its operations in Western Asia. 我公司正在扩大西亚的业务。
They danced, they did a comedy sketch about grandmother-like behaviour, they did kung fu, and they did the thing most human artistes fear most — performed with children.
它们既能起舞，又表演围绕“奶奶式”行为的喜剧小品，还展示功夫，甚至完成了许多人类演员最为忌惮的一项挑战——与孩子同台演出。
sketch
sketch /sketʃ/ 1）表示“草图，速写；素描”，英文解释为“a simple, quickly-made drawing that does not have many details”举个🌰：My mother made a (pencil) sketch of my brother reading a book. 我母亲画了一张我弟弟在读书的（铅笔）速写。
2）表示“短文；短剧”，英文解释为“a short written or spoken story that does not have many details”
3）表示“幽默短剧，滑稽小品”，英文解释为“a short, humorous part of a longer show on stage, television, or radio”举个🌰：I thought the sketch about celebrity chefs was really funny. 我觉得那部有关明星大厨的滑稽小品非常有趣。
artiste

Nor was their appearance just for fun. The importance of the gala, annually the most-watched show in the world, is such that the companies behind the robots paid tens of millions of yuan for the chance to show off their wares.
机器人的亮相也并非只是为了娱乐。作为全球年度收视规模最大的节目之一，这台晚会的重要性不言而喻，相关企业为争取展示产品的机会不惜投入数千万元。
wares
wares /wɛəz/ 复数形式，表示“ （尤指小商贩在大街上或市场里出售的）物品，商品；公司的产品”，英文解释为“things that sb is selling, especially in the street or at a market”举个🌰：He travelled from town to town selling his wares. 他走乡串镇出售自己的货品。
“Chunwan”, as the China Media Group Spring Festival Gala is informally known, was an invention of state television only as far back as 1983. Since then, it has gone from being a cheesy light entertainment show to being a major showcase for the culture of the People's Republic.
中央广播电视总台春节联欢晚会，俗称“春晚”，始于1983年。自诞生以来，它已从略显俗套的综艺娱乐节目，演变为展示国家文化与时代气象的重要舞台。

light entertainment
表示“轻松的、消遣性的娱乐”（television shows, plays, films, etc. that can be enjoyed without a lot of mental effort）。这类内容通常不追求深刻的思想内涵或复杂的艺术性，主要目的是让观众放松、发笑，比如喜剧小品、魔术、杂技、流行歌曲演唱等。
Approved foreign performers are now also invited: Monday night's show featured John Legend, Westlife and Lionel Richie.
如今，经批准的海外艺人也登上这一舞台。周一晚的演出中，约翰·传奇（John Legend）、西城男孩（Westlife）与莱昂纳尔·里奇（Lionel Richie）相继亮相。
However, it was well advertised in advance that after the success of last year's troupe of robots, who performed a traditional dance with live humans, this year's would be robot-focused.
不过，演出前的宣传早已释放明确信号：在去年机器人与真人合作演绎传统舞蹈大获成功后，今年的晚会将更加突出机器人元素。
Unitree, the company that produced 2025's dancers, received worldwide publicity. This year, Unitree was joined by three other firms — MagicLab, Galbot and Noetix, who each paid an estimated £6 million for a slot.
打造202年机器人舞者的宇树科技（Unitree）因此获得全球关注。今年，与其同台的还有银河通用（Galbot）、松延动力（Noetix）和魔法原子（MagicLab）等公司，据估计各自为登台机会支付了约600万英镑。
However, it was still Unitree that provided the stand-out performance, a complex martial arts routine in which the robots performance was cheered on by yellow-clad “kung fu kids” who then joined in. The robots were clearly far more confident than 2025's rather wooden stars — they span, high-kicked, twirled nunchuks and even back-flipped.
尽管群雄并起，最引人注目的表演仍来自宇树科技。一套编排复杂的武术节目中，机器人在黄衣“功夫少年”的助阵与参与下完成动作。与2025年略显僵硬的表现相比，这些机器人明显更加自如：旋转、高踢、挥舞双节棍，甚至完成后空翻。
clad
表示“穿…衣服的；覆盖着…的”，英文解释为“(of people) dressed, or (of things) covered”举个🌰：A strange figure appeared in the doorway, clad in white. 一个奇怪的人出现在门口，穿着白衣服。
wooden
wooden /ˈwʊd.ən/ 1）表示“木制的”，英文解释为“made of wood”举个🌰：The house was surrounded by a tall, wooden fence. 这所房子被一道高高的木制篱笆围了起来。
2）表示“（行为）僵硬的，呆板的”，英文解释为“used to describe behaviour that is awkward or shows little expression”举个🌰：She gave a wooden smile to the camera. 她冲着相机不自然地笑了一下。
Official figures showed that the show was watched live by 677 million people, with more than 13 billion individual hits on social media. The shopping website JD.com reported that searches for robots online surged by 300 per cent in the two hours after the show.
官方数据显示，该节目直播观众达6.77亿人次，社交媒体相关点击量超过130亿次。电商平台京东（JD.com）表示，晚会播出后两小时内，机器人相关搜索量激增300%。
