The evolution of the Super Bowl halftime show

超级碗半场表演的演变

The Super Bowl halftime show has become a spectacle almost as big as the game itself.

Millions of people around the world will tune in to watch The Weeknd take the stage this Sunday. The singer will be following in the footsteps of musical icons that include Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Paul McCartney, Beyonce and Lady Gaga, just to name a few.

But the Super Bowl halftime shows haven't always been star-studded. Before the 1990s, the halftime entertainment usually consisted of marching bands and drill teams that you normally see at college football games.

超级碗中场秀已经成为一场几乎和比赛本身一样大的奇观。

全世界数百万人将收看本周日登台的周末节目。这位歌手将追随迈克尔·杰克逊、麦当娜、普林斯、保罗·麦卡特尼、碧昂斯和Lady Gaga等音乐偶像的脚步。

但超级碗半场的表演并不总是明星云集。在20世纪90年代以前，中场休息时的娱乐活动通常是由军乐队和训练队组成的，这是你在大学足球比赛中经常看到的。

The first Super Bowl was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 1967. The halftime entertainment included trumpeter Al Hirt, a local high school drill team and the marching bands of Grambling State University and the University of Arizona. But the most memorable performers might have been the Bell Rocket Air Men flying around in jet packs.

第一届超级秀于1967年在洛杉矶纪念体育馆举行。中场休息时的娱乐活动包括小号手阿尔·赫斯特、当地一支高中操练队以及格拉布林州立大学和亚利桑那大学的行进乐队。但最令人难忘的表演者可能是乘坐喷气式飞机的贝尔火箭飞行员。

The New Christy Minstrels, a folk and pop group, were one of the performers during the Super Bowl halftime show in 1970. The game was held at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans, so the show's theme was tribute to Mardi Gras.

The 2004 show will forever be known for Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction."
