美語情景對話 第596期:Plastic Surgery 整容手術

Todd: What do you think about plastic surgery — you know, like, especially lip implants, breast implants?

託德：你怎麼看整容手術？尤其是豐脣和隆胸這樣的整容手術？

Wendi: Yeah, absolutely. I would be like, maybe like four years ago, I was like, "No" if you do that kind of thing you are so vain. That's so not cool. And now, I'm like, "Yes, sign me up!" like "Any spring specials?"

溫迪：完全贊同。如果是四年前，我可能會不贊同，當時我認爲做那種事情完全是徒勞，並不酷。可是現在我會說：“算上我！”我會問有沒有春季特價。

Todd: Actually, how old are you?

託德：你今年多大了？

Wendi: 30.

溫迪：30歲。

Todd: 30.

託德：30歲。

Wendi: Yeah.

溫迪：對。

Todd: OK, so you're saying that maybe when women get older, they think like OK maybe they would like a nip and tuck here and there.

託德：好，你認爲女性年老以後，會願意接受拉皮整形手術嗎？

Wendi: Yeah, absolutely you know, you know move some stuff from place to place. I don't have to give up any parts but you know just place it in a more appropriate location.

溫迪：對，當然願意，你知道，去掉各個地方的皺紋。我不用放棄任何部分，只是讓它們復位，回到更合適的位置去。

Todd: Interesting.

託德：有點兒意思。

Wendi: Yeah. I don't think it's so bad.

溫迪：對。我認爲這並不壞。

Todd: Yeah.

託德：對。

Wendi: Yeah. Like you know, some minor maintenance, I think. Nothing wrong with that.

溫迪：嗯，你知道，這就像日常保養一樣。沒什麼不好的。

Todd: Maybe if you do it once but two problems. One — I think, I don't understand the breast implants. I think most men don't like them.

託德：也許你可以做一次，現在我有兩個問題。第一個問題是，我不理解隆胸手術。我認爲大部分男性並不喜歡。

Wendi: I think most men do like them actually.

溫迪：可是我認爲大部分男性確實喜歡。

Todd: No way.

託德：不可能。

Wendi: Yes.

溫迪：是這樣的。

Todd: I doubt it.

託德：我對此表示懷疑。

Wendi: Yes, of course they do.

溫迪：他們當然喜歡。

Todd: It looks just terrible.

託德：那看上去太糟糕了。

Wendi: What kind of men do you hang out with?

溫迪：你經常和哪種男性朋友一起外出？

Todd: Actually, that's a good question. I've never actually asked another man.

託德：這是個好問題。其實我沒有問過其他男性這個問題。

Wendi: Oh, you don't have friends.

溫迪：哦，你沒有朋友。

Todd: That's — you hit on the truth there. That's so true.

託德：你說出了真相。的確是這樣。

Wendi: What were we saying though?

溫迪：我們在說什麼？

Todd: I don't know. Well, there was two things. I don't have friends and breast implants.

託德：我也不知道。我們說到了兩件事，我沒有朋友，還有隆胸手術。

Wendi: I'm joking. But actually, for me, I wouldn't get breast implants because I couldn't run.

溫迪：我是開玩笑的。實際上，對我來說，我不會去做隆胸手術，因爲這樣會對跑動造成影響。

Todd: Oh, you can't run. That's a good point, huh?

託德：哦，會妨礙你跑動。這個觀點很好，對吧？

Wendi: Well, I don't know if it's just like, I can't imagine you could, well, I mean, I'm sure people do, but I mean like actually play sports and stuff. I wouldn't want to like dive onto the ground to catch like a frisbee and the chance that they would explode or anything could happen.

溫迪：我不太瞭解，也沒法想象，我知道人們會做隆胸手術，但是我指的是參加體育活動的影響。我不希望在我衝向地面去接飛盤的時候，會發生假體爆炸或其他的事情。
