The long awaited second season of "A Bite of China," a Chinese documentary television series on the history of food, eating and cooking, began airing last Friday. But the program didn't receive the strong audience response expected, and has been accused of stealing ideas from a BBC documentary, the Yangtze Evening Post reported on Wednesday。

期待已久的《舌尖上的中國2》上周五終于播出了!這是一部記錄食物、飲食、烹飪歷史的中國紀錄片。然而據(jù)《揚子晚報》周三報道，《舌尖2》得到觀眾的反響并不如預期的好，甚至被指抄襲BBC紀錄片創(chuàng)意。

In the first episode of "A Bite of China II," scenes of a man in Tibet's Nyingchi Prefecture climbing up a tree to get honey from a beehive have been criticized for copying a similar scene in the BBC documentary "Human Planet," in which an African tribesman climbs a tree in the Central African Republic to get honey。

在《舌尖上的中國2》的第一集中，西藏林芝縣一男子爬樹從蜂巢采集蜂蜜的畫面，被批評抄襲BBC紀錄片《人類星球》片段：在《人類星球》中，一名非洲部落男子正在中非共和國爬樹采集蜂蜜。

Netizens uploaded screenshots of the two scenes together to highlight their similarities: both have scenes of climbing, looking up and picking honey。

網(wǎng)民上傳了兩個紀錄片的對比截圖，以突出二者的相似：爬樹、仰望、采集蜂蜜。

Some netizens said the local people in Nyingchi Prefecture have no tradition of climbing trees to get honey, so the plot is fake and designed to create a visual impact。

有些網(wǎng)友指出，林芝縣當?shù)厝藳]有爬樹采集蜂蜜的傳統(tǒng)，所以這個情節(jié)是假的、只是為了產(chǎn)生良好的視覺沖擊而設計出來的。

Chen Xiaoqing, director of the documentary, denied the plagiarism allegations, saying "We noticed there is also a tree-climbing scene in the 'Human Planet', but the one featured in our documentary is different. I don't think it is plagiary or imitation."

《舌尖上的中國2》總導演陳曉卿否認本片存在抄襲，他說：“我們注意到在《人類星球》中也有爬樹的畫面，但是《舌尖2》中呈現(xiàn)出的是完全不同的。我們不存在抄襲和模仿。”
