聽(tīng)力對(duì)照中英文本:
Dialogue:
XG:What’s that in your hand, Jing Jing?
小高:京晶,你手里拿著什么?
JJ:It’s a selfie stick. Isn’t it cool? Here,let’s take a picture together. We don’t even need anyone else to hold the camera for us. The selfie stick will do all the work. Say cheese!
京晶:這是一個(gè)自拍桿,怎么樣,很酷吧?來(lái),我們拍張合影吧。我們甚至都不需要?jiǎng)e人用照相機(jī)給我們拍了!自拍神器一鍵解決,來(lái),說(shuō)“茄子”!
XG:Wow, cool. So that’s what those things are. I’ve seen them all over the place but I never knew what they were until now.
小高:哇,不錯(cuò)!原來(lái)這就是那種自拍桿啊,我到處看見(jiàn)別人舉著用,現(xiàn)在我才知道它們是什么。
JJ:Yeah, they’re all the rage right now. A lot of celebrities have been known to use them. Don’t you want one now?
京晶:對(duì)啊!它們現(xiàn)在可潮了,好多名人都在用呢,你想來(lái)一根嗎?
XG:No, that’s alright. Don’t you think taking selfies all the time is kinda narcissistic? I see alot of self-absorbedpeople who take selfies on the subway and on the street. And what’s worse, people put their selfies on WeChat and Weibo constantly. I’m getting sick of it!
小高:哦,不用了。你不覺(jué)得隨時(shí)隨地都在自拍會(huì)顯得有點(diǎn)自戀嗎?我在地鐵上、街上看到很多自戀的人在自拍,更糟糕的是,他們還不斷地把自拍照發(fā)到微信和微博上,我真的看夠了!
JJ:Taking selfies aren’t just for people who are in love with themselves. A lot of tourists use selfie sticks because they’re so convenient. Don’t you think it’s a pain in the neck to always ask someone else to take a picture of you when you’re visiting somewhere?
京晶:可自拍這事還不僅僅屬于自戀的人,很多旅游者也因?yàn)榕恼辗奖愣褂米耘臈U。你不覺(jué)得當(dāng)你在某地旅游時(shí)總是麻煩別人給你拍照是件很煩人的事嗎?
XG:Yeah, I guess you have a point. Hey, they seem kinda dangerous though. They are so long.
小高:嗯,我想你說(shuō)得有道理,對(duì)了,它們那么長(zhǎng),看上去有點(diǎn)危險(xiǎn)呢!
JJ:They have been banned ina lot of places on the grounds of safety and inconvenience to others. For example, the Australian music festival Soundwave banned selfie sticks. They’ve also been banned in some museums and art galleries because of concerns about possible damage to art works as well as disruption to other visitors.
京晶:它們?cè)诤芏嗟胤绞潜唤玫模鲇诎踩徒o他人帶來(lái)不便的原因。比如澳大利亞“音浪”音樂(lè)節(jié)就禁止使用自拍桿。還有一些博物館和藝術(shù)畫廊也是禁止使用的,因?yàn)榭紤]到可能對(duì)藝術(shù)作品造成損害,同時(shí)可能干擾其他人欣賞藝術(shù)。
XG:Sounds like you should be careful with your selfie stick.
小高:聽(tīng)上去你應(yīng)該小心使用你的自拍桿呢!
JJ:Come on, let’s take one more picture.Cheese!
京晶:得了吧,來(lái),咱再拍一張,茄子!
