Netflix reveals top 20 series binge watched in first 24 hours
奈飞公布最受“追剧飙客”欢迎的20部剧
Netflix has always shrouded1 itself in a level of secrecy2 when it comes to viewing figures - a safeguard, perhaps, which shields them against public disappointment if one of their highly-touted projects flop3.
可能是出于自我保护的需要，奈飞公司的收视数据总是蒙着一层神秘的面纱——如果他们大力宣传的美剧收视爆冷，也不至于引起公众的失望。
One thing, however, that they'll proudly unveil is the number of subscribers who have succumbed4 to the ever-present allure5 of what they've termed the 'binge racer', with a staggering 8.4 million having consumed an entire series within 24 hours.
然而，他们却很愿意很骄傲地公布他们订阅者的人数，这些人被称为“追剧飙客”（binge racer）有840万 Netflix 用户入选“追剧飙客”，他们在24小时之内看完一整季的电视剧。
A practice that Netflix states has been around since its inception6, but that's particularly gained steam from 2013 onwards, with the number of binge racers increasing more than 20 times over.
Netflix称，这一现象从他们发布自己的剧集开始就存在，但是在2013-2016年间激增了20倍。
"There’s a unique satisfaction that comes from being the first to finish a story -- whether it's the final page of a book or the last, climactic moments of your favorite TV show," said Brian Wright, Vice7 President, Original Series.
Netflix原创剧集副总裁Brian Wright说：“无论是看完一本小说还是看完一部剧比别人先刷完一个故事能够带来独特的满足感。”
Netflix has, in response, unveiled a list of the top 20 Netflix originals with seasons watched within the first 24 hours.
