美語情景對話 第59期:電視 TV
Todd: Marika let's talk about television.
茉莉，我們來聊聊電視。Marika: OK.
好的。Todd: Do you like to watch a lot of TV?
你喜歡經常看電視嗎？
Marika: Yeah, I watch a lot of TV.
是的，我經常看電視。Todd: Now you've been in Japan for awhile. Do yo watch TV in English or in Japanese?
你現在在日本已經有一段時間了。你是看英語電視節目還是看日語電視節目？Marika: I watch TV in Japanese, but if it's on in English I will watch it in English. Yeah, I'm the same way.
我看日語節目，但如果有英語的我就看英語節目。是的，我也是。Todd: Um, how good is your comprehension? How much can you understand?
你的日語對話能力怎麼樣？你能聽懂多少？Marika: If it's a drama I can understand most of what's happening, and definitely the story, but if a talk show and there's young people on and there're speaking fast, with a lot of slang, I don't really understand a lot of what they're saying, although I might know what topic they're discussing, I won't know what exactly their stand is.
如果是戲劇，我能看懂，明白故事情節，但如果是脫口秀節目，而且有年輕人在節目上說得很快，用很多俚語，我就不太懂他們在說些什麼了。雖然我能大致明白他們所討論的節目主題，但我不明白他們是什麼立場。Todd: Do you think that TV is bad for people?
你認爲電視會對人有壞的影響嗎？Marika: Yeah, I think that TV is bad for people. It's really bad.
是的，我認爲電視對人會產生不好的影響，很壞的影響。Todd:Why?
爲什麼？Marika: Because instead of reading a book or doing something outside, or doing something productive you just sit in front of a TV and absorb bad information or things that don't really help, help you learn anything probably, although Japanese television I think does have a lot of good documentaries and a lot of informative television programs.
因爲人們不再讀書，進行戶外運動，或者做其他富有成效的事，而是坐在電視機前吸收一些沒有幫助的信息，吸收那些你學不到任何東西的信息。但我認爲日本電視節目中有許多好的紀錄片和有意義的電視節目。注：譯文屬原創，未經允許，請勿轉載。
