A: 歡迎大家來(lái)到這期的美語(yǔ)訓(xùn)練班!我是楊琳!
B: 我是Mike!楊琳,咱們今天學(xué)些什么呢?
A: 今天,咱們要來(lái)聊聊美國(guó)人日常談話中的禁忌,去看看美國(guó)大選怎么投票,還要告訴你怎么說(shuō)“不折不扣”!
B: 談話禁忌?Are you talking about sensitivity training?
A: 對(duì)呀!人家都說(shuō)美國(guó)人非常直接了當(dāng),但是其實(shí)也有很多約定俗成大家不會(huì)觸及的話題呢!
B: Yeah that's true. Just like the other day, one of my Chinese friend told me that he thought I'm gaining weight! I didn't know how to respond...but Americans would never say such things in front of your face!
A: 哈哈哈!Hmmm... 你應(yīng)該跟他說(shuō),我這個(gè)叫肌肉!(笑)不過(guò)這個(gè)咱們等會(huì)再說(shuō),現(xiàn)在,咱們還是趕快來(lái)進(jìn)入第一個(gè)單元,
Learn a word!
B: Speaking of sunburns, remember that I said I didn't need sun scream at our pool party? Turns out I'm totally wrong....
A: 哈哈,你怎么曬得都脫皮了?不過(guò)啊,我覺(jué)得你們外國(guó)人曬完只是變成粉色,不像我,你看,曬完之后就變成了一只小紅豬……
B: Hahahaha, LOL yeah... actually I think you are right....
A: Hey! But seriously, I'm never going to the swimming pool at 2pm again! Every inch of me got sunburn!
B: You know, a lot of people here would love to get tanned!
A: 我可不喜歡,我曬完黑里透紅呀……
B: Well, it's considered very healthy in American culture! Actually, you just mentioned a very good term: every inch. Let's listen to today's words and idioms to see what it means!
A: 我也來(lái)造個(gè)句!Hmmm... 說(shuō)什么好呢?I'm every inch a great host! 嘿嘿嘿,do you agree, Mike?
B: You? Well... you can't judge your ability by yourself! How about we start a vote and let the audience decide who's better, ha?
A: 讓聽(tīng)眾投票?好呀,我才不怕你呢!肯定我贏!
B: Well... we need to see about that, let the reality speak.
A: 就是呀!到時(shí)你別太郁悶就行! 話說(shuō),現(xiàn)在好像人人都在談投票!
B: Yeah, that's because we are going to have the presidential election in November, so who to vote for is currently our hot issue.
A: 對(duì)了,美國(guó)大選將近,大家都在討論要投誰(shuí)的票!正好,今天的美語(yǔ)三級(jí)跳里,剛剛成為美國(guó)公民的Amir就在跟他的妻子Sharon談?wù)撘镀苯o誰(shuí),咱們一起來(lái)聽(tīng)聽(tīng)吧!
