A:Hey, Jimmy, you've been sitting in front of the TV all day. Anything interesting on TV?喂,吉米,你在電視機(jī)前坐了一天了,電視上有什么有意思的節(jié)目嗎?
B:Not really. Quite boring right now, actually. Mostly infomercials and public serveice announcements.沒有啊.其實(shí)現(xiàn)在挺無聊的,凈是長篇的購物廣告和公共服務(wù)通知.
A:Why don't you turn off the TV and get outside? You need to get some fresh air.那位什么不把電視關(guān)了出去走走呢?你需要呼吸點(diǎn)新鮮空氣.
B:I know, I know.But my favorite show is on in a couple of minutes. It's the series finals, and I wouldn't miss it for the world!知道了知道了.不過我最喜歡的節(jié)目幾分鐘后就要開始了,是這部戲的大結(jié)局,我無論如何都不會錯過的.
A:Really? What's the series about?是嗎?這部戲是關(guān)于什么的呢?
B:Well, it's about how an immigrant girl achieve her dream in America. It's a sitcom but really quite smart and really funny. I think you'd like it.是講一個移民到美國的小女孩實(shí)現(xiàn)夢想的故事.雖然是情景喜劇,可是拍的很有內(nèi)容也很有意思.我覺得你可能會喜歡.
A:It sounds interesting, but I am not a big fan of TV shows. They're time consuming and don't have much depth.聽起來挺有意思.不過我不太喜歡看電視劇,我覺得電視劇花太多時(shí)間,而且沒有深度.
B:I believe some shows are quite informative and interesting. Take this show for example, it examines American xenophobia and how it might conflict with the American dream, with hilarious results.我認(rèn)為有一些節(jié)目的信息量還是挺大的,也挺有意思.那這個電視劇來說,它就審視了美國人對外來移民的抵制心態(tài),還講了這種心態(tài)如何與美國夢之間產(chǎn)生矛盾,以及這種矛盾帶來的滑稽后果.
A:Really? that's interesting!真的?聽起來挺有意思的.
B:Yeah.Oh, here it comes! why don't we watch it together? they are going to have a court debate in this episode. It should be good.是這樣的.哦,開始了,我們可以一起看啊.這一集里他們要在法庭上辯論,應(yīng)該挺好看的.
A:OK, I'll give it a go.好的,那就看看吧.
