Sibling rivalry is the often-intense competition between siblings — for parental attention, for achievement, or just for the last slice of pizza. It can range from harmless teasing to deep-seated resentment that lasts into adulthood. American culture loves depicting sibling rivalry in movies and TV because it's so universally relatable.

手足之争是兄弟姐妹之间常常很激烈的竞争——争夺父母的关注、争夺成就，或者只是争最后一块披萨。它可以是无害的打趣，也可以是延续到成年的深层怨恨。美国文化喜欢在电影和电视中描绘手足之争，因为它太有共鸣了。

La rivalidad entre hermanos es la competición a menudo intensa entre los hermanos — por la atención de los padres, por los logros o simplemente por el último trozo de pizza. Puede ir desde las bromas inofensivas hasta un resentimiento profundo que dura hasta la edad adulta. La cultura estadounidense adora representar la rivalidad entre hermanos en el cine y la televisión porque es enormemente universal.

「シブリング・ライバルリー（兄弟間の競争）」は兄弟姉妹間のしばしば激しい競い合いのこと — 親の注目、成績、あるいは最後のピザ一切れをめぐって争う。無害なからかいから大人になっても続く根深い恨みまで幅がある。アメリカ文化では、誰もが共感できるテーマだからこそ、映画やテレビで兄弟間の競争が好んで描かれる。

형제간 경쟁은 부모의 관심, 성취, 혹은 피자 마지막 한 조각을 두고 벌어지는 치열한 경쟁이다. 무해한 놀림부터 성인이 되어서까지 이어지는 깊은 원한까지 다양하다. 미국 문화는 영화와 TV에서 형제간 경쟁을 즐겨 다루는데, 누구나 공감할 수 있는 주제이기 때문이다.
