They may look like a pack of cutesy(矫揉造作的可爱) anthropomorphised(拟人化的) dogs. “No job is too big,” vows their heartwarming motto, “no pup’s too small!” Don’t be fooled: some say the cartoon heroes of “Paw Patrol” are covert outriders(秘密的先驱/前哨) for authoritarian(威权主义的) capitalism. “Keep trying, everybody makes mistakes,” a winsome(迷人的，惹人喜爱的) character urges in their latest outing, “Paw Patrol: the Dino Movie”. The haters have a slogan too: “Defund the Paw Patrol(撤资汪汪队（抗议口号）)!”
它们看起来可能像一群可爱拟人化的小狗。“没有任务太大，”它们暖心的座右铭承诺，“没有小狗太小！”别被骗了：有人说《汪汪队立大功》的卡通英雄是威权资本主义的秘密先驱。“继续努力，每个人都会犯错，”一个迷人的角色在最新电影《汪汪队立大功：恐龙电影》中敦促道。反对者也有口号：“撤资汪汪队！”
If you haven’t had a pre-school child (or been one) since “Paw Patrol” first aired on TV in 2013, it may have passed you by.(如果你自2013年动画首播以来没有学龄前儿童（或自己不是），你可能错过了它。) But it is a world-conquering juggernaut(不可阻挡的庞大力量), spanning more than a dozen seasons, a toy empire and now three theatrical film releases. Critics—perhaps including parents aggrieved at enduring so much schlock(劣质品，垃圾)—have avidly dissected its subliminal(潜意识的，阈下的) messages. Hearing about this is like coming late to the manosphere(男性圈（网络亚文化）); both, you find, are amazingly popular and allegedly pernicious(有害的，恶性的).
如果你自2013年《汪汪队立大功》在电视上首播以来没有上过幼儿园的孩子（或自己没当过小孩），你可能就错过了它。但它是一个征服世界的庞然大物，跨越了十几个季度、一个玩具帝国，现在还有三部院线电影。批评者——也许包括那些因忍受如此多垃圾而感到愤怒的父母——热切地剖析了它的潜意识信息。听到这些就像晚来一步进入“男性圈”；你会发现，两者都出奇地受欢迎，且据称有害。
For the blissfully uninitiated(浑然不知的人): the show is set in idyllic(田园诗般的，宁静美好的) but slightly creepy(令人毛骨悚然的) Adventure Bay, where children drive and puppies talk. Led by a lavishly quiffed(梳着背头的) ten-year-old boy, a group of heroic pups respond to mild emergencies, setting off down a fun slide at their HQ. It is utterly formulaic, with incessant catchphrases (“Paw Patrol is on a roll(连续成功，势头正旺)!”) and appalling earworm(洗脑神曲) music. “A children’s story which is enjoyed only by children”, wrote C.S. Lewis, “is a bad children’s story.”(“只有儿童喜欢的儿童故事是糟糕的儿童故事。”——C.S.刘易斯) He would not have liked “Paw Patrol”.
对于浑然不知的人来说：该剧设定在田园诗般但略显诡异的冒险湾，那里孩子们开车，小狗说话。在一个发型夸张的十岁男孩的带领下，一群英勇的小狗应对轻微紧急情况，从总部的趣味滑梯滑下。它完全是公式化的，有无休止的口头禅（“汪汪队立大功！”）和难听的洗脑音乐。“只有儿童喜欢的儿童故事，”C.S.刘易斯写道，“是糟糕的儿童故事。”他不会喜欢《汪汪队立大功》的。
