Do you remember in 2000, when The Simpsons predicted that Donald Trump would one day be President of the United States?
還記得《辛普森一家》（The Simpsons）嗎？2000年，這部動(dòng)畫(huà)片預(yù)測(cè)，唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）會(huì)成為美國(guó)總統(tǒng)。

Back then, in that happier time, it seemed daft and improbable - nothing but a good joke.
當(dāng)時(shí)美國(guó)社會(huì)還算歡快，這種預(yù)測(cè)聽(tīng)上去不過(guò)是個(gè)蠢蠢的玩笑，根本不會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)。

Fast-forward 17 years, and the joke is basically on us.
17年如白駒過(guò)隙，如今玩笑成真了。

Trump becoming President is just one in a long line of eerie predictions the long-running TV show has made which came true.
特朗普成為總統(tǒng)只是《辛普森一家》眾多神預(yù)測(cè)之一，這部劇的壽命相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)。

Other instances of clairvoyance include predicting America's Ebola breakout, corruption in FIFA and the invention of FaceTime.
它還做過(guò)其他預(yù)測(cè)，如美國(guó)爆發(fā)埃博拉病毒、國(guó)際足球聯(lián)合會(huì)內(nèi)部腐敗、視頻通話(huà)軟件FaceTime問(wèn)世等等。

However, they've proven to be WAY ahead of the curve with a particular recent event -by two decades in fact.
但是有一件事表明，《辛普森一家》早在二十多年前就做出了預(yù)測(cè)。

Earlier today, in a deal worth ￡39 billion, Walt Disney agreed to take control of Rupert Murdoch's 20 Century Fox Inc.
今晨，迪士尼簽約拿下20世紀(jì)?？怂构荆?/span>Rupert Murdoch's 20 Century Fox Inc），交易達(dá)390億英鎊。

Aside from the fact this is a staggering and almost surreal amount of money, this news is also even more remarkable because of The Simpsons.
這樁交易盡管數(shù)額巨大，讓人難以置信，但它能聞名于世卻源于《辛普森一家》。

In the episode titled 'When You Dish Upon A Star' which aired on 8 November 1998, one scene showed the outside of the 20 Century Fox studio.
1998年11月8日，《辛普森一家》播放了名為“When You Dish Upon A Star”一集，展示了20世紀(jì)福克斯公司的外部狀態(tài)。

Beneath the famous logo it reads "A Division of Walt Disney Co."
在該公司大名鼎鼎的標(biāo)識(shí)下寫(xiě)著“迪士尼公司分部。”

Spooky, no?
是不是很恐怖？

Our only question is - what other worrying happenings will The Simpsons predict next?
目前我們唯一的疑問(wèn)是：《辛普森一家》還將做出怎樣令人憂(yōu)心的預(yù)測(cè)？
