HBO's "The Pacific" got off to a fair start on Sunday evening, delivering 3.1 million viewers.

HBO的《太平洋战争》周日晚上的首播开局不错,拿到了310万的收视。

That's 22% higher than the debut of HBO's last miniseries, "John Adams," and "The Pacific" tally grew to 4 million with its encore airing.

这比HBO 上一部迷你剧《约翰·亚当斯》的首播高出了22%,加上重播的观众,《太平洋战争》有400万的收视。

Still, HBO has to be somewhat disappointed with this number. "The Pacific" is the biggest production in the network's history and this is only 69% higher than the time period norm.

不过,HBO对这一数字还是有点失望。《太平洋战争》是电视圈有史以来最大制作的剧集,但是这个数字仅比这个时段的平均值高出了69%。

The miniseries' predecessor, 2001's "Band of Brothers," debuted to 10 million viewers (Nielsen has since changed the way pay cable networks are calculated, however, and these are no longer apples-to-apples comparisons).

在这部迷你剧之前,2001年的《兄弟连》首播有一千万的收视(尼尔森已经改变了收费电视在收视中的计算方法,现在在收视上已经不能做平等条件的比较了)。

Even with its larger premiere number, "Brothers" was considered a slow-starter whose success was secured in heavy repeat viewing and DVD sales. "The Pacific" could easily gather steam too, especially with critics saying the second half of the production is superior to the first.

虽然收视更好,但是《兄弟连》仍然被认为是慢热剧集,它的成功主要体现在重播中的高收视以及DVD的销量。《太平洋战争》应该也可以很容易地引爆收视高潮,尤其是评论家们都说后半段比前面更好。
