PETS-2每日對話練習235

字號:

Aduh: During elections, a candidate says anything. But right afterwards, he totally forgets his campaign promises.
    Linger: Not all politicians are bad. Some of them really care for the country.
    Aduh: I guess that's why all they do in the Legislative is fight and yell .
    Linger: I agree that that's not good. But that doesn't mean we should give up.
    Aduh: That movie Cat in the Hat even shows our legislators fighting on TV. Sheesh! What a loss of face.
    (下期續(xù))
    阿德:在選舉期間,候選人都會亂開支票,但之后旋即忘記所有競選承諾。
    玲兒:不是所有的政治人物都很爛。其中有些是真的在關(guān)心國家。
    阿德:我想這就是為什么他們總是在立法機構(gòu)里又吵又鬧。
    玲兒:我同意那樣的確不好。但那不表示我們就應(yīng)該放棄。
    阿德:電影《魔法靈貓》甚至還把我們立法委員打架的畫面搬上電視屏幕。真丟臉。
