This Sunday marks the 11th anniversary since the first airdate of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the third year since my first aquaintance with its whole episodes. In these years, its profounded influences has been shown and revealed by some Bronies and Pegasisters, the boys and girls that are named after due to their passion for the program.
本周日正值G4小马首映11周年，也是我得以首次一窥该部动画全貌4周年。多年以来，这部作品对她的粉丝们产生的影响深远。
Apart from a total of 221 episodes, namely nine seasons（Season 3 is an exception.）, one MLP movie, four Equestria Girl movies, two specials including Best Gift Ever and Rainbow Roadtrip, and many animated shorts（EGs' are not included） that consist of 3 Miscellaneous shorts and 5 Best Gift Ever shorts, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic was originally screened by The Hub and Discovery Family, two American channels run by Hasbro on Oct 10, 2010. The program mainly tells us a story of how a little purple pony named Twilight Sparkle befriends with the other five main characters in Ponyville, so as to finish the task given by her mentor Princess Celestia. During the period of time, with the accompany of her No. 1 assistant Spike, a dragon that was hatched out from a purple and green egg in a school operated by Princess Celestia, she eventually truly understands the meaning of friendship and guards Equestria with her five best friends.
G4小马除过9季221集的正剧剧集外（第三季是个例外，只有13集），还包括一部《小马宝莉大电影（2017）》、四部《小马国女孩（2013-2016）》、两部特别篇（包括《最棒的礼物（2018）》和《彩虹之旅（2019）》，《小马国女孩》短片未计算在内）、三部混合短片和五部《最棒的礼物》短片，于2010年10月10日在美国孩之宝旗下的两个频道The Hub和Discovery Family上首映。该剧主要讲述了一匹名叫暮光闪闪（紫悦）的紫色小马为了完成导师宇宙公主交给自己的任务，与同为主角的其他五名小马谷居民的交友过程。在头号助手斯派克（穗龙）的陪同下，她最终理解了友谊的真谛，与挚友们携手保护小马利亚。
For many Bronies and Pegasisters, MLP has saved them from the maze, changed their points of view and their ways to communicate with others. One said on Zhihu that he used to be very arrogant when he was a boy during his middle school age. And because of being insulted and blamed for a long time, he became a hater who was fond of making others feel uncomfortable by talking in a way that is peculiar. He's looking down upon his classmates with a pathetic excuse like his excellent grades to lord over, and the way he treated others made his relations among others worse. But things changed after he watched the videos and finally got himself out of a situation that was being isolated with a revengeful heart.
对许多马迷来说，这部动画为他们驱散了阴霾，改变了他们的世界观和为人处世的方式。知乎上有名小马迷自述道，中学时他非常骄横。由于长期受到责备、侮辱，他成了一个说话阴阳怪气的喷子。他唯自己优秀的学习成绩马首是瞻，对同学侧目而视，这种为人处事的方式恶化了与同学的关系。但是看完这部动画后，他改过自新，摆脱了这种仇视他人、被人孤立的状况。
However, as a member of Bronies, I think there is more to it. More and more punchlines or puns has been created. Like Hong Linqin（虹林檎）, a contradictory puns referring to Rainbow Dash and Applejack. （Linqin means apples and Hong is defined as rainbow. Some people hate it.）Zise Shaofu（紫色少妇）, Twilight Sparkle's nickname originated from MLP's fan work. Princess Zi Kuaile（紫快乐公主）is her another nickname taken from her name and feature. Kuaile is from her Chinese name chosen by the translators. So if you are willing to listen, I can tell you the puns eternally.
但是，身为一名马迷，我认为小马的影响远不止此。越来越多的双关语被创造出来。例如富有争议的“虹林檎”，被用来指代云宝黛西（云宝）和苹果杰克（苹果嘉儿）。（林檎指苹果，虹代指彩虹。）暮光闪闪（紫悦公主）的诨称紫色少妇，源于小马宝莉的同人作品（粉丝利用官方人物、角色创作的、与官方剧情毫无关联的作品）。紫快乐公主是她的又一诨称，源于她的官方译名和自身特点。如果你乐意听，我可以说个没完没了。
As has been said above, fan works has been thriving during this time. Many comics are created for fans to read, videos to watch and pieces of music to listen. Snowdrop tells us a story from Princess Celestia's standpoint that in order to welcome the Spring Sunrise, a celebration to memerize her coming in power after 1000 years, a disabled pony named Snowdrop tries her best to prepare a gift for the two sisters on her own because her inability made other foals laugh at her. During this process, with the help of her acute hearing, the guidance of her teacher and her mother, she finally made a snowflake by herself, even mocked by her classmates. The snowflake has been stored for millennia after Snowdrop's death in memory of her achievement, which is letting ponies realize the meanings of cold, dark and winter.
如上所述，小马同人作品在此期间登峰造极。粉丝们创作了许多漫画供人阅读，制作了许多视频供人观看，谱写了许多乐章供人倾听。《落雪》站在宇宙公主的角度上，讲述了一匹名为落雪的残疾小马为了迎接新春日出这一纪念宇宙公主即位一千年的盛典，虽然由于残疾受到其他小马的嘲笑，却尽力独自为皇家两姐妹准备礼物的故事。这一过程中，落雪凭借自己敏锐的听力及老师和父母的教导，在其他同学的嘲笑下，最终独自做出了一片雪花。为了纪念落雪让人们（小马们）了解寒冷、黑暗和冬天的意义这一伟大功绩，这片雪花被储存了数千年。
Have you got an idea with BronyCon, a kind of gathering to be held annually, mainly in Chengdu, Zhengzhou, Shijiazhuang, Wuhan and Guangzhou? It's a special festivity for Bronies and Pegasister, just like Crystal Heart, mentioned in the first and second episodes of Season 3, to the Crystal Empire. Through this kind of activity, many people have enjoyed themselves both in local dish and the magic of friendship.
你了解一年一度的马展吗？它主要在成都、郑州、石家庄、武汉和广州举行，是马迷们的特别聚会，其意义不亚于本剧第三季前两集提到的水晶之心对水晶帝国的作用。通过参加这种聚会，许多人都沉浸在当地的美食和友谊的魔法中。
Do you know where the sentence “Buy Our Toys” comes from? When Hasbro, the animation maker, tries to sell their toys made on the basis of the episodes to the fans, they will roar this sentence at the end of their advertisement. Their action has worked and many fans has bought their toys and made a persiflage on them like making the music video carefully, creating the animation with brain, making toys with feet and safeguarding with nostrils. They had developed a good relation with their fans and made a lot of money.
你了解“买我们的玩具”这一句话的来源吗？动画制作商孩之宝想向粉丝们出售玩具时，一般会在广告结尾吼出这个句子。他们的这一做法奏效了，许多粉丝都购买了他们的玩具，还打趣他们“用心做音乐，用脑做动画，用脚做玩具，用鼻孔做安保”。他们和粉丝的关系非常铁，也赚了许多钱。
Whether in commerce, mentality or culture, MLP has a giant influence on both its fans and authors.
无论是商业、心智还是文化方面，G4小马剧集都给其粉丝和作者带来了巨大的影响。
