生活口语 自我介绍之我喜欢的电视节目

My favorite TV programs

对话场景：雷切尔和哈里谈论好看的电视节目、各自的收看方式。

情景对话 Dialogue

Rachael: What are your plans for the evening?

Harry: I was just going to watch some TV. There's a new show on

tonight.

Rachael: What channel is it on?

Harry: Channel 3.

Rachael: When is it on?

Harry: It's on in about five minutes.

Rachael: Oh, what are you watching now?

Harry: It's just the ending of an American sitcom about a group

of friends.

Rachael: Is this the one called ‘Happy Endings’? I've seen

this before. It's hilarious.

Harry: I love it. It is quite funny. You'll have to watch that

one on catch-up TV.

Rachael: What's this?

Harry: They're just showing the lottery ticket results. Did you

buy any tickets for this one?

Rachael: No, I never buy lottery tickets. It's such a waste of

money. How about you? Did you buy any?

Harry: No. Not this week.

Rachael: Your screen looks a bit strange. Is this one of those

3D televisions?

Harry: Yes, I got it for a birthday gift from my parents. Do

you like it?

Rachael: I don't know. Aren't you supposed to wear glasses with

it to make it work?

Harry: Yes. But you only need to wear glasses with it when you

are watching programs that have been designed for 3D viewing. This

one isn't.

Rachael: You seem to have a lot of channels on here. Do you

have cable?

Harry: I've got a satellite dish.

Rachael: So you must watch a lot of TV then.

Harry: Some people would probably call me a couch potato. I

probably watch about two or three hours of TV a day. How about you?

Rachael: I like watching TV, but I chose not to have a TV so

that I could get more things done. It's just too tempting to have a

TV sitting in front of you.

Harry: I know what you mean. But I'm sure that if I didn't have

a TV, I'd end up watching all the shows on my laptop instead.

Rachael: I do that sometimes, if I really want to watch

something. But not having a TV means that I don't end up sitting in

front of the TV watching things just because they are on.

Harry: I suppose you don't have to watch all those

advertisements as well then, without a TV?

Rachael: That used to be the case. But now you often have to

watch adverts in order to watch the show. It must be how they make

money so they can provide the shows to us online for free.

Harry: Looks like the new show is starting now. Do you want to

stay and watch it with me?

Rachael: Sure. Let's give it a go.

译文 Translation

雷切尔：你今晚有什么安排啊？

哈里：我就在家看看电视。今晚有个新节目。

雷切尔：在哪个频道？

哈里：第三频道。

雷切尔：什么时候开始啊？

哈里：大概还有五分钟就开始了。

雷切尔：噢，你现在在看什么呢？

哈里：一部关于一群朋友的美国情景喜剧的结局。

雷切尔：就是叫《幸福终点站》的那部剧吧？我看过那部电视剧。很搞笑。

哈里：我非常喜欢看。特别好玩。你得在网络电视上看看这个。

雷切尔：什么？

哈里：他们在播放彩票结果。你买过这种彩票吗？

雷切尔：没买过，我从来不买彩票。太浪费钱了。你呢？买彩票吗？

哈里：没买。这周没买。

雷切尔：你家的电视屏幕看起来有点奇怪。是那种3D（三维）的电视吗？

哈里：是的，是我父母送给我的生日礼物。你喜欢吗？

雷切尔：不知道。不是应该戴上眼镜才有效果吗？

哈里：是啊。不过只有在看设计了3D效果的节目时才需要戴着眼镜看。这个节

目不用。

雷切尔：你这儿看起来有很多频道。你有有线吗？

哈里：我有卫星接收器。

雷切尔：那你一定经常看电视了。

哈里：或许会有人叫我“沙发土豆”。我可能每天看两三个小时的电视。你

呢？

雷切尔：我喜欢看电视，但是我不买电视，这样就能做更多的事了。有个电视

在你面前诱惑太大了。

哈里：我明白你的意思。不过我想要是没有电视的话，我就会用笔记

本看节

目。

雷切尔：我有时候也会，要是实在想看点什么的话。不过没有电视意味着我不

会因为有节目看就一直坐在电视前面看节目。

哈里：我觉得没有电视的话你就不用看那些广告了吧？

雷切尔：以前是。但现在经常是要看节目必须先看广告。这肯定是他们赚钱的

方式，这样才能在网上免费为我们提供节目。

哈里：好像新节目快开始了。你想留在这儿和我一起看吗？

雷切尔：当然。我们不妨一试。
