(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

“海选”本是指“村官直选”，即中国农民在村民自治中创造的一种直接选举方式。2004年，一场“超级女生”让一向低调的“海选”成了网络热门关键词。选秀中的“海选”如何用英文来表达？

看外电一段有关“快乐男声”的相关报道：The wildly popular Chinese version of the "American Idol¹" song contest has secured approval for a 2007 season, state media reported Wednesday.

Producers this year plan to whittle² down the number of contestants³ -- more than 100,000 entered last year -- with an Internet audition⁴ system aimed also at preventing a crush of applicants⁵ from besieging⁶ production sites.

报道说，3月22日，备受欢迎的中国版“美国偶像”选秀节目“快乐男声”正式启动。主办方湖南卫视首次设立了“网络海选”，参赛选手可将视频上传至相关网站参赛。由报道可知，“网络海选”相应的英文表达为“Internet audition (system)”。

如果看过“美国偶像”，您会发现，“audition”是“偶像”在第一轮选拔时最常用的词汇。“Audition”原意指“第一次上镜”，如果运用到选秀节目，它特指经过第一次试唱从最普通的报名者当中筛选这一机制。这层含义与中国选秀节目中的“海选”颇为相通，由此，选秀节目中的“海选”可表达为“(first/initial) audition”。

再看下面一个例子，援引“美国偶像”相关报道：Hicks, the new "American Idol", had barely survived the first audition at which judge Simon Cowell warned he didn't have a chance of advancing in the contest. （新任“美国偶像”泰勒·希克斯在海选时险遭淘汰，评委西蒙·柯维尔当时预言他不可能再顺利晋级。）
