Amazon signs Woody Allen for his first-ever TV series

Woody Allen has signed a deal with Amazon Studios to write and direct his first television series.

伍迪•艾伦（Woody Allen）已经与亚马逊工作室（Amazon Studios）签订了协议,将首次编剧并执导电视剧.

Untitled Woody Allen Project will be a half-hour series and already has a full-season order from Amazon. The series will be distributed via Prime Instant Video, Amazon's streaming service.

这部目前尚未定名的电视剧每集时长30分钟,亚马逊方面已经订购了一整季剧集.这部电视剧将通过亚马逊的Prime Instant Video流媒体服务播出.

"I don't know how I got into this. I have no ideas and I'm not sure where to begin. My guess is that [VP of Amazon Studios] Roy Price will regret this," Allen said in a press release announcing the news. The company didn't say when the show would become available.

艾伦在宣布这一消息的新闻稿中说道："我不知道我是怎么做出这个决定的.我毫无头绪,不知道该从哪开始这项工作.我猜（亚马逊工作室的副总）罗伊•普赖斯（Roy Price）会后悔的."另外,亚马逊公司没有说出该剧的播出时间.

The announcement comes as Amazon's original TV content rides high from a strong showing at the Golden Globes. Transparent took home two major awards — best comedy TV series and best actor in a comedy TV series for Jeffrey Tambor. Digital networks like Amazon and Netflix have become major players for high-quality original content.

该项声明是在亚马逊原创电视剧在金球奖（Golden Globes）上取得了不俗表现后发布的.亚马逊原创剧《透明人生》（Transparent）一举拿下两项大奖——最佳喜剧类电视剧集奖以及主演杰弗里•坦博尔（Jeffrey Tambor）的喜剧类最佳男演员奖.亚马逊和网飞公司（Netflix）等数字网络公司已经成为了制作高水准原创内容的主力军.
