洛杉磯鬧市區
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to read about trends and discuss their effects.
本課結束，你將能夠讀懂趨勢和討論影響。
STUART: Elizabeth. Hello.
伊麗莎白，你好。
ELIZABETH: Stuart.
斯圖爾特。
STUART: Could I just take a few moments to show you this short presentation I put together in regards to the Linderman Building.
我能占用你一小段時間給你展示一下這個我整理的簡短的關于林德曼建筑的陳述嗎？
ELIZABETH: Stuart. It looks very well-organized and well-prepared. But we are on the run we got to go, so tomorrow, perhaps?
斯圖爾特。它看上去，組織有序，計劃周詳。但是我沒時間很緊，也許明天怎么樣？
STUART: It will actually just take a few minutes, I promise.
我保證，只需要幾分鐘。
ELIZABETH: Alright, you've got two minutes.
好吧，你有兩份鐘的時間。
STUART: Two minutes? Alright. 'The renovation of downtown Los Angeles and the purchase of the Linderman building'
兩分鐘？好吧。“洛杉磯鬧市區的革新和林德曼建筑的購買。”
ELIZABETH: Yes, Stuart, we can both read.
是的，斯圖爾特，你都可以看。
STUART: First let me give you a little bit of a background.
首先讓我給你一點背景。
ELIZABETH: Hold on a second here. This is very cluttered and confusing, what am I supposed to be looking at?
稍等。這個是非常混亂和令人困惑的，我應該看一下嗎？
STUART: Actually these are all iconic buildings located in downtown Los Angeles, but more specifically I want you to focus right here in the middle on the Walt Disney Concert Hall which was constructed back in two thousand, which started a multibillion dollar construction to renovate the downtown area. In fact, this is the budget for the city of Los Angeles, and if you look at Figure one, this is the budget for the city of Los Angeles in the year two thousand. Now the portion in red is the amount of money that was allocated towards the downtown Los Angeles area. If you look at figure two, this is Los Angeles' current budget. Now you can see that that number has significantly increased ever since then.
確切地說，在洛杉磯鬧市區有很多標志性的建筑，但是更具體地說，我希望你能把注意力放在兩千年建造的沃特·迪士尼會堂的中部區域。這是花費數十億美元建造和革新的鬧市區。事實上，這也是洛杉磯城的預算，如果你看圖表一，這是用兩千年洛杉磯城的預算建造的。現在紅色的部分是分撥到洛杉磯鬧市區區域資金。如果你看表二，這是洛杉磯現在的預算。你能看到的是從那時起數量顯著地增加了。
STUART: Now by far this is the largest investment ever for the city of Los Angeles. Now their willingness to throw that much money at the renovation shows how serious they are about the project.
到目前為止，這是洛杉磯城最大的投資。現在他們愿意投入更多的錢在革新上，這顯示出他們對于這個工程有多重視。
STUART: Are there any questions?
有什么問題嗎？
ELIZABETH: No, Stuart it looks excellent, very nice presentation.
沒有了，斯圖爾特，它看上去很棒，陳述得不錯。
STUART: Just a couple of minutes, please.
勞駕再耽誤一點時間。
ELIZABETH: OK. One more minute.
好的，再多一分鐘。
STUART: Moving on.
繼續吧。
