Todd: Marika let's talk about television.
茉莉，我們來(lái)聊聊電視。
Marika: OK.
好的。
Todd: Do you like to watch a lot of TV?
你喜歡經(jīng)?？措娨晢?？
Marika: Yeah, I watch a lot of TV.
是的，我經(jīng)?？措娨?。
Todd: Now you've been in Japan for awhile. Do yo watch TV in English or in Japanese?
你現(xiàn)在在日本已經(jīng)有一段時(shí)間了。你是看英語(yǔ)電視節(jié)目還是看日語(yǔ)電視節(jié)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(yǔ)節(jié)目，但如果有英語(yǔ)的我就看英語(yǔ)節(jié)目。是的，我也是。
Todd: Um, how good is your comprehension? How much can you understand?
你的日語(yǔ)對(duì)話能力怎么樣？你能聽(tīng)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(jié)，但如果是脫口秀節(jié)目，而且有年輕人在節(jié)目上說(shuō)得很快，用很多俚語(yǔ)，我就不太懂他們?cè)谡f(shuō)些什么了。雖然我能大致明白他們所討論的節(jié)目主題，但我不明白他們是什么立場(chǎng)。
Todd: Do you think that TV is bad for people?
你認(rèn)為電視會(huì)對(duì)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(rèn)為電視對(duì)人會(huì)產(chǎn)生不好的影響，很壞的影響。
Todd:Why?
為什么？
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.
