美語情景對話 第1210期:What type of famous person would you like to be? 想成爲哪種名人

Tlotlo: Hi, my name is Tlotlo and I am from Botswana.

特羅特洛：嗨，我是特羅特洛，來自博茨瓦納。

Resse: Hey, I'm Resse from Botswana as well.

里斯：嗨，我是里斯，同樣來自博茨瓦納。

Tlotlo: So our question is would you rather be a famous singer, actor, athlete or a politician?

特羅特洛：我們要討論的問題是，你更想成爲哪種名人，著名歌手、演員、運動員還是政治家？

Resse: I think I'd rather be a famous actor because you get a lot of money.

里斯：我想成爲著名演員，因爲可以掙很多錢。

Tlotlo: OK.

特羅特洛：好。

Resse: You're famous but you don't do that much. If you're an athlete you have to work hard and you are always tired.

里斯：你很出名，而且不用做太多事。如果當運動員，那要努力運動，而且一直會很累。

Tlotlo: What about learning scripts? That sounds like a really difficult job to me.

特羅特洛：那記臺詞呢？對我來說那聽起來是很難的工作。

Resse: But you learn bit by bit because shooting is over a long time so maybe it's not so hard.

里斯：你可以一點一點記，因爲拍攝會持續很長時間，所以可能不是那麼難。

Tlotlo: I would really say I think being an actor is actually pretty hard. There's a lot that comes with it. It's a part that sometimes you are not very familiar with and that should take a lot out of you, you know, so it should be a hard job.

特羅特洛：我認爲做演員非常難。有很多要承擔。有時你可能會遇到不太熟悉的事情，那會讓你消耗很多，所以那應該是很難的工作。

Resse: You just need to be good at being fake.

里斯：你只要擅長僞裝就行了。

Tlotlo: You could put it that way. Well I think I'd rather be a famous singer. I wish I was good in singing though but that's what I'd be. I'm really all about spreading the love and sharing my thoughts with other people and just expressing my mind and I think singers have that opportunity to share what's in their mind, express themselves, share the love, you know, and I think that's what I'd much rather do just spread the word. I'm all about words. I think words have a very, very big effect on people. What you say really does matter. So being a singer could actually say a lot and touch so many people's hearts. That's my destiny of life, I want to touch many hearts, so a singer for me.

特羅特洛：也可以這樣說。我認爲我更想當著名歌手。我希望我能擅長唱歌，我想當歌手。我想四處去傳播愛，和其他人分享我的想法，表達我的看法，我認爲歌手有機會分享他們的思想，表達自己，傳播愛，我更願意做的是傳播這些信息。我相信言語的力量。我認爲言語可以對他人產生非常大的影響。你所說的話很重要。當歌手可以表達很多，可以感動人心。那是我的人生目標，我希望能感動很多人，所以我要當歌手。
