The series started in the Netherlands as The Voice of Holland in 2010. Many other countries have adapted （v. 改编） the format （n. 版式）and began airing their national versions in 2011 and 2012. The Voice of China is a successful example of them. 好声音是一档全球性的歌唱选秀电视节目。首度出现在荧屏上的是2010年开播的荷兰之声。自荷兰之声播出后，2011年和2012年全球很多国家都开始借鉴其赛制，制作符合自己国家特色的版本。中国好声音就是一个成功的例子。（注：以下内容大家都很熟悉，在此不提供翻译，只对生词进行解释并作相关注释，希望大家在背景熟知的情况下能锻炼自己的阅读能力，学到地道的表达。）In spite of their specific features, almost all the versions of different countries share the same format, that is, three stages of competition. The first is the unseen audition (盲选), in which the four coaches (n. 导师) listen to contenders （n. 参赛者）in chairs facing opposite the stage as to avoid seeing them, and can trigger (v. 按下；触发) a button rotating （v. 旋转） their chairs to signify （v. 表明） that they are interested in working with that artist. If more than one coach turns （v.转过来；转身） the chair for one artist, the artist chooses the coach he or she desires to work with. The blind audition ends when each coach has a set number of artists to work with (such as ten in the U.K. version, fourteen in the China version or sixteen in the U.S. version). Coaches will dedicate themselves to developing their singers mentally, musically and in some cases physically, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success.尽管各国版本都有自己的特色，但基本上都采纳了一样的赛制，即三个比赛阶段。（此段描述的是“盲眼海选”阶段，不过每个国家在这一阶段选出的选手数量不一样，英国是10位，中国是14位，美国是16位。）The competition then enters into a battle phase （“厮杀”阶段，即中国好声音的“导师考核阶段”）, when the coaches pit two or three of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together in front of a studio audience. After the vocal face-off （n. 对峙；竞争）, the coach must choose only one to advance. If no specific winner can be identified the competition turns to a game of fate via a coin toss.（在国外，如果导师实在无法从同台竞争的两个选手中选出一个更优秀的话，那就会投硬币决定，就看谁走运啦）At the end of the battle episodes, the strongest members of each coachs roster proceed to the live stage shows. In this final performance phase of the competition, the top contestants from each team compete against each other during a live broadcast. The television audience vote to save one contestant on each team, leaving the coach to decide on live television who they want to save and who will not move on. In the next round, the public chooses between the two artists left on each team, and the coach also has a vote that weighs equally with the public vote.（这一阶段也就是中国好声音的“终极对决”阶段，在国际上被划入“厮杀”阶段，确实算是更残酷的组内“厮杀”）Finally, each coach will have his/her best contestant left standing to compete in the finals, singing an original song. From these four, one will be named The Voice
